In a recent presentation for the new Resident Evil engine, Capcom included a slide which clarified their position on PC mods.

In their presentation, Capcom colors PC gaming as risky due to the ability of users to mod, edit, and cheat the game software. The company goes as far as to say: “PC games give a high degree of freedom, but they are also free to be tampered with!”

Capcom released their entire 50 minute presentation on Anti-Cheat and Anti-Piracy measures

While cheating can become a problem in competitive games, many Capcom games benefit from mods such as quality of life mods in Monster Hunter, client-side cosmetics in Street Fighter or Resident Evil, and more.

What this will mean for upcoming Capcom projects has yet to be seen.

[The Ugly One]

I look forward to eventual shitty RE5 remake where most of the African enemies are White, and a mod will make every enemy a fat sheboon customer service agent.

It'd be cool if somebody made a cool game for once, with hot chicks in chainmail bikinis and everything, and there was an Inclusivity Mode that replaced all the hot chicks with Lizzo.

If you mean "pain in the ass to mod", it's because there's usually a lot of very poor programming practices in Japanese games that would make you think they hired Indian slave labor to do them.

Yeah the code is obfuscated to fuck and for some reason it seems some reason some things are hardcoded at random whilst other things are weirdly modular.

The hardcoding part is what's really insane. The shit I have seen as being hardcoded in Japanese game executables that would make complete sense to do via some kind of external definition file (such as, say, UI windows) or such is outrageous.

mods which “violate morals”​

Capcom uses these words and, in turn, are sounding like the same puritans that tried to tell us that games like DOOM and Mortal Kombat are self-destructive to society.

PC modders are not the problem; the people hiring these individuals using this soft language are. It’s even no different when Japanese companies do it, especially if they still make decent games.

The hilarious part was the modder just swapping in Middle East localization textures.

Not even that, if I remember right he just had some code that triggered the ME locale flag that swapped them out. Even the US version of the game had the flag to trigger.

I think they learned from that, though.

Banning mods is what violates my morals.

That goes for you too Nexus Mods, you fucking faggots.
