Capcom's Steam Deck Verified Games are being made unplayable with new DRM that only punishes paying customers

What? ALL DRM only punishes paying customers.

At the time of this post both the game and proton had been updated and the game was working again.

Adding DRM to a two year old already cracked game is still an insane decision, but the problem of it breaking the game was fixed relatively quickly.

Every DRM punishes paying customers, not only this new thing.

Lmao, this is months after they released a steam deck focused patch for Monster Hunter World that made it run on the deck, World was suddenly being played by several people again, congrats capcom for the fumble.

This is why I primarily shop at GOG. There are almost no other storefronts left that promote DRM-free games.

Digital rights management - who's rights? Certainly it's not in my best interest.

Digital restrictions management.

All this because Capcom heard that a Street Fighter tournament participant was using a nude mod for Chun-Li. Just blacklist him and move on, let me keep my flashlight lasers on dropped materials in MH:W please.

While this is awful for a company to do and I'm 100% against drm in games in general I do think the steam deck issue is being overblown. Valve quickly put out a proton update that fixed compatibility on steam deck. The game works fine now.

Capcom has been really shit for a while now, they completely lost all of my trust with how they launched MHW. It was a barebones minimum viable port that runs a 3090 hot and frequently had network failures, and they refused Refunds for thousands of people.

It's like Asian Disney.

I've bought many games specifically because of mods developed for them. There are many games that aren't appealing in their stock "as-the-developer-intended" implementation. Capcom's actions are foolish here. Hopefully they see a significant hit to their game sales.

I'll never pay for another capcom game but you can be damn sure that doesn't mean I'll never play another capcom game.

Good work you old dipshits, shooting your long time fanbase instead of doing literally anything else

So, I don't know how to put this, and I don't this actually isn't true . Not sure how this blew up, but yeah.

Maybe people should stop supporting these companies. I know saying it for the 729,631st time won't change anything, but all I'm gonna say is I don't have issues with Capcom, EA, Ubisoft, or a few other studios, because us simply 🌠 dont play their games 🌠

This is why I only play unlicensed Tengen games on my NES. R.B.I. Baseball, Gauntlet, and Pac-Man are really all I need and I like their cartridge shape better anyway.

Damn. This is why my recent steps in Steam, after seeing a good sale is: does it have Denuvo? Do I need to install a separate launcher? Is the discount worth it?....

I still have a PC copy of 2007(?) Sega Rally I can no longer play because the DRM software is no longer supported in Windows.

So MH Rise is still busted? I figured they would have done something about that far more quickly
