Post by user:

Capcom has implemented your product on their back catalogue of games and it's causing performance drops, crashes and has broken many popular mods people use to make these games run better.

The PC community is very angry and has noticed the implementation of your product. It is being mentioned in a ton of negative steam reviews.

You should be aware that there is likely a huge negative PR storm coming your way and possibly offer Capcom advice on how to implement your product properly as you've angered a lot of people. It wouldn't surprise me if big PC YouTubers like Digital Foundry pick up on the issue and make their many subscribers aware.

Reply by developer:

Curious, what action do you need from us? And why do you blame us that someone use our software? Someone use, we do not push to use it. What is our guilt you think?

And why are you so sure that all that you reported belongs to our software?

Maybe you are so angered because you can't use the cheats anymore?

Best reply is always be a dick. Fuck corporations that act like this

Edit: it seems like the thread is deleted now.

DRM is just a way to fuck the end consumer, all the DRM companies can fuck off to double hell.

That is not true. It is also a way to make it much more likely part of our culture gets permanently destroyed.

It's also a way to keep more support staff around, won't someone think of the call centers?

FoV mods are cheats now?

Yeah? You can literally give yourself 360 vision with FOV changes. That's quite an advantage if you can actually stomach what it looks like. Less extreme and more likely is that you see more to your peripheral than players not modding the game.

If it's single player tho... Why? The only one who would be affected is the cheater.

I mean, it honestly wouldn't look so bad on a 32:9 monitor.
