well, I do understand that in tournaments the games shouldn't be modded.
Otherwise: let players do what ever they please.
Does this game not have any anticheat? I would have expected the game to stop you from loading modded content into multiplayer.
The mod was running on a caster's machine. Perhaps some spectator mode.
Edit: Here's the clip BTW (Warning NSFW): https://files.catbox.moe/52t0v1.mp4
Fuck the puritans and their morals.
So you're saying you want to fuck Puritans? 😏
Yes. In more ways than one. It's the only way they'll learn.
Some of them can be very hot but a boring fuck i guess sonce they would just whant missionary.
I mean depending on the puritan, yes.
"Public order and morals." Lmfao
Who even says that shit?
Stop cursing, citizen. You are disturbing public order and morals.
I'll bet they doesn't know about the three seashells!
As a person who has lived in a more oppresive country for the most of his life, I can tell you with high confidence that when you hear "public order and morals" it is usually a whole load of bullshit to appease the general population. Also there is a very high chance that the people saying this shit gain something from the changes made to ensure the "public order and morals"
Xi’s China. Makes me wonder who influences Capcom PR.
CCP does, the whole tone reeks of authoritarian propaganda on their level (not saying it comes from them, it's just similar).
Also religious freaks do that.
"You need to produce more kids, but God forbid you see a nipple in the wild!"For nipples to be as common as they are, wild nipples are shockingly rare.
Sounds like a Supreme Court ruling from 1894.
Or republican dipshit in 2023
What is allowed during your tournament or during online matches can indeed by controlled by the publisher. Go nuts.
What I install on my PC is my business only - and if I want to have Ken be brutally smothered by Chun Li in an erotic kitty costume, it won't be Capcom who will stop me.
"Our game about people with sexually stylized bodies punching each other in the face shall not be morally tarnished"

Fuck this garbage bullshit moral panic.
I'm gonna need a list of the offensive mods for science
Download them so the kids can't get them
Saved you a click: there are no pictures of the mod in action in the article.
Here is the tweet link. https://twitter.com/nicholasdeorio/status/1686142593833345024
If you click a link to when the article was first reported, it links to a tweet where you can see it.
I agree with them. There was a mod for GTA 4 I have seen back in the day where a sicko had replaced the all citizens with imprisoned Jews and created an Auschwitz map... That was severely against public order and morals.
Oooh, oh you mean tiddies? Don't be fucking ridiculous!
Do they happen to give a list of which mods these are and where I can find them? So I know which ones to avoid, obviously.
'There are a number of mods that are offensive to public order and morals'
Don't let this idiot find out about Rimworld.
Oh noes! Such ofens to morals
-- Capcom, as they pat their eyes with wads of cash
Fun. Excuses to limit modding…
AAA studios don't like mods much anyways. Mods are just creative DLC that the studio didn't make and can't force players to keep buying to keep profits up, along with shutting down private game servers - again forcing players to use or rent official servers for $. Mods keep older games alive that studios may not want to host files for anymore.
There's no shortage of reasons to limit mods...outrage over boobs is a drop in the bucket.
Sure, but this is their excuse to clamp down and limit all mods for the reasons you listed under the banner of morals and such.
for the purposes of its engine's anti-cheat tech—"all mods are defined as cheats, except when they are officially supported."
While on one hand this seems silly and overreaching, I am also reminded of just how much trouble Rockstar got in for the Hot Coffee mod. The game was reclassified as adult in the US and banned in Australia, and I think they got hit with fines as well as a lawsuit.
Now sure this was content that technically shipped with the game, but since it was impossible to access without modding for all practical purposes it was added by the mod.
And such a silly overreaction to the hot coffee situation
People were perfectly fine when their kids could murder and beat up civilians, but oh no not a poor simulation of sex!
Yeah it's mindblowing when murder, which is pretty universally considered not ok, is somehow more acceptable to present than sex, which is a completely normal thing that is accepted in all societies.
Meanwhile in Baldur's Gate 3...
Really? I can remember mods to do exactly this (in other games) over 20 years ago.
They probably know, they're just making a fuss because it happened in front of too many people.
Wait until they learn about Sims 4 mods....
Wait until they discover RimWorld
Capcom need to hire some Western employees and then elevate them to high ranks because they need a better perspective.
It's like Nintendo they're utterly insane do not ever talk about our games online attitude. You know, because heaven forbid they get free advertising.
Uh... boo fucking hoo? Idrk why it's any of Capcom's business what players do with their own copy lmao
Corporate speak for "I'm morally outraged that these mods displaying our character models in the nude exist. Wink Now that we've gotten that out of the way, money pwease!"

Are they gonna regulate mods?
For personal use, no.
When playing in tournaments I would hope so. Ideally matches in a tournament setting should have exact same systems to prevent tampering for an advantage.
That's reasonable
Matches in in-person tournaments happen with both players on the same console. It's not possible to cheat in a 2d fighter online using mods, because the game's multiplayer data is directly peer-to-peer: if I install a mod that makes my kick faster, it'll be a faster kick on my game but the normal kick in your game, causing the game state to desync (if the kick hits you on my game but you hit me first in your game, both of our games are now playing out different scenarios but still controlling their instance of the "opponent" with the opponent's inputs)
What happened in SF6 was a tournament streamer had a boobie mod installed, and was using the in-engine "spectate" feature to put a match between two players on stream. Neither player saw the streamer's mod, it did not have any effect on the competitive integrity of the match. It was just a funny moment of a streamer's horny-on-main SF6 install being exposed on stream.
coomers really coming out in full force to defend showing off pornographic mods in a public setting
No one is doing that, that's such a shallow take
