Capcom's War Against Modding - Games older than ten years shall not be spared from Capcom's DRM against modding because some coomer couldn't keep his nude mods from spilling out of his pants at a tourney.

[Geddy Lee's Fee and See]

I heard about the cancellation due to "lack of interest", but never about them wanting to charge $50 for a demo. Wtf?

I misremembered it. I think it was $5 for the demo and then Capcom caancelled the game and the demo due to lack of interest, despite not even bothering to market it properly or even supporting the devhouse making it due to the gay corporate politics of Kenji Inafune leaving Capcom.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

Didn't the MML3 thing also happen shortly after the 3DS came out and it still wasn't very popular?

 

[ZMOT]

There was never a golden era or redemption from Crapcom because this company has always sucked even before it bent the knee to Overlord Larry Fink. Crapcom was always a shitty company

keep in mind most of your list happened years ago and/or is limited to fightans, not something most normalfags remember or care about. for them capcom "redeemed" themselves when they went from whoring their IPs out to western studios for shekels, to releasing monhun world and the RE remakes (consolefags especially are only allowed to play what's officially released, they simply can't play any of the old games unless the publisher wants them to or they buy an older console, something only nerds would do).

I might be tin-foiling here, but I remember Square-Enix calling out modders either this year or last in regards to FFXIV (though that was just a segment of a Live Letter where the director specifically asked people not to show modded screenshots because it could "create a dishonest view of the game". The coomers cared for about a day before going right back to showing off titty mods on Twitter).

there were several reasons for this.
a) coomposting slowly devolved (since no one official has been laying down the law) from posting catgirls in lingerie to lalafells in diapermods and other shit. squeenix knows sex sells, they do it themselves, but there's a limit to everything, especially if you don't want to see your game dragged through the headlines
b) ff14 doesn't "officially" support addons the way WoW does. for the longest time there was the unspoken rule you can use them, just don't talk about it (to the point of posting dps-meters in chat could hit you with a suspension). however cue blizzard shitting the bad so hard that even the blizzturds had enough and were looking for some methadone to curb that WoW-addiction, bringing all their retardation with them - first and foremost streaming with addons and other stupid shit.

TDLR: retards is why we can't have nice things.

Even more simple
>Download Honey Select 2
>Download a Chun-Li card and install it.
>???
>Profit!

problem is for that card to exist someone has to put it through (a) blender first.
blender also gives you more option to go all out, HS2 sadly still has some limits in that regard, although it's easier to use (also some cards are ass or still worse than their HS1 version for some reason).

 

[X Prime]

What is it with current companies and this immense lack of fucking spine? None of the gay niggers who would be bothered by this shit are going to care enough to go for those secret endings. Hell even if they did they're STILL going to bitch about the female characters tits being too big or something so why even bother catering to them? I'm assuming they actually buy the game in the first place as the wokescolds usually have no intention of buying the media they bitch about being "offensive". Capcom et al. are only alienating the people who would actually give them money. Peak clown world.

In theory, woke types have a lot of disposable income. No families, etc.

What these companies don't quite grasp is that most of these types' money goes to skyrocketing rent and food. With the particularly degenerate ones paying for art commissions a la Verbalase or DDoSing this website with their SS checks.

There's also the notion that the mindless consoomers will keep buying slop and are somehow locked-in.

 

[Prophetic Spirit]

@ZMOT yeah, and the mods too.
I don't know, i sometimes think of blender but i don't get interested for being too technical to animate anything.

True, but Crapcom has always been a terrible company. Like I said, I forgot a few things but I'm adding them while I still have the opportunity. I remember Crapcom censoring the PS version of DMC5, so I added that. The fighting game is something even normies know Crapcom for, but they don't know all of the autistic details.

 

[Nick Gars]

Jokes on them, I already swore to pirate every last game of theirs after they tried to promote Exoprimal or whatever it was with fucking drag queens. I never gave a shit about the REmakes, so Capcom never went through a "renaissance" in my eyes.



Also MH speedruns are a thing? I love Monster Hunter, but fucking A, if those are full run speedruns and not individual monster PB's, those people should unironically kill themselves on the principle alone. That a level of "go the fuck outside" that shouldn't be possible.

 

[Brigadoom]

They want to be the company that makes Antifafags and wokescolds open their wallets. These types of people don't fork over $500 for plastic soldiers or bother to get $2000+ gaming pcs to get games because they're broke af with their useless degrees. Hell, these fucks don't even support the shitty lofi music they claim to love, and they hardly give tattoo artists money. Their money usually goes on Soy products or soy/chais lattes with chemicals "natural ingredients." If the companies can't get the money from the blm and antifags, these companies hope Overlord Larry Fink will bail them out, but eventually Larry is gonna swing his financial scythe to collect the dues and souls they owe him. That's why companies like Disney, Squeenix, Soyny and Games Wokeshop keep pushing for far left woke shit hoping it will pay off in the long run.

As X Prime says a lot of these spastics are surprisingly wealthy which is how they buy all those lovely Bad Dragon dildos they all love so much. What companies don't understand is that these types of people will very rarely spend their money. On top of that if you have a product they are bitching about already then it's game over because no matter what you change about that game it'll never be enough. They'll only keep demanding more and more changes until the devs give up, by that time though it's too late the game is already a failure.

In theory, woke types have a lot of disposable income. No families, etc.

You'd be surprised how much cash these perpetual victims actually have at their disposal. Someone I know does commissions for that particular crowd and you'd be amazed at what they make from these spangles. It comes with a catch as they're asked to draw some of the most atrocious scenarios known to mankind. The point I was getting at though is that even with these suspiciously wealthy fuckers they're never going to buy a game/movie/comic if it wasn't made exclusively for them. They're incapable of interacting with media if it means having to put yourself into another person's shoes.

I've never understood speedrunning an entire MonHun game. Part of the fun was exploring.

IIRC, it was Capcom Europe's president that made the comment about fan's lack of interest, I seem to also recall hearing he was quietly fired shortly after.

 

[Gaol]

Capcom has been on the decline for years, so seeing them do this now is just part of the shit cascade that people are riding. Sadly, games like Monster Hunter are caught in their clutches. Though I am still upset for Capcom killing of my favorite series Breath of Fire by giving it a shitty japan only mobile game that didn't even let you play as Ryu. Hopefully soon modders will find a way to reverse engineer the DRM.

yeah, but the shit the normies notice is just the average of the vidya industry these days, so it's not better or worse than the rest

@ZMOT yeah, and the mods too.

it's probably way easier once you get the principles down and know how to make the interface do the thing you want (which is often the hard part). I have some experience from mapping way back, so messing around in 3d isn't new to me, but for anyone going in blind it's probably way rougher. otoh everyone learns differently, and the first step is usually the hardest. after that it's just a matter of discipline.

 

[X Prime]

What companies don't understand is that these types of people will very rarely spend their money. On top of that if you have a product they are bitching about already then it's game over because no matter what you change about that game it'll never be enough.

This is correct.

To elaborate on what I said earlier, there's a strange corporate belief that once you "hook" a normie customer, like a beaten wife they will come back again and again, especially if you give them no choice.

And you know what? For the most part, they're right.

So, you have to chase the more difficult-to-get money. That means the coomers, the fetishists, the autistics. The kind of people who would drop 50,000 USD on an animation of their OC getting fem-domed. In absolute terms they may or may not have much money, but when you do have something that catches their eye their impulse control goes the way of the dodo. These are the customers companies like Capcom chase now, but they have to have plausible deniability.

The problem is, they're often hardcore left-wingers. That means endless purity tests of your content to their liking, low attention spans, and so on. These types often don't have a problem with modding per-se, until you remove the trans flags. Then they cause a shitstorm that somehow causes bad PR. So, better to remove modding altogether.

 

[Ventrue]

Its good that Capcom is exceptionally wealthy and are not threatened by an economic crisis, otherwise this would lead to financial ruin.

 

[Pissmaster]

the way I figure it all works is like:

• Your company, or your parent company is publicly traded
• Some shady firm (like Blackrock) either buys up as many shares as possible, and becomes the majority shareholder; or offers to fund your game with enough money to where sales don't even matter
• Shady firm demands you follow their guidelines, like the DEI and ESG agendas
• Your company produces a game that conforms to their guidelines, even if it wrecks the game and the public image of the company
• Funding also pays for promotional materia, fake reviews, fluff pieces,, guerilla marketers posing as virulent defenders, etc.
• Campaign ends, game is left to dwindle, winds up free on Epic and part of charity bundles, tide finally turns in reviews because the shills have moved onto their next job

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Some people were doing hacked anomaly hunts which could corrupt their game as well as other people who joined said hunt. Some of these hacked hunts would also wind up in other people's games as well. So even if you weren't engaging with said people, accepting a hacked hunt might fuck up your game.

Reminds me of how it was possible to completely brick someone's Wild World cartridge by just plopping down certain hacked items. The problem was so bad Animal Crossing Community had a review system for members. This was back when friend codes were a thing.

I don't think mods were the problem here. Shitty code was.

Although I dunno how far the changes in Megaman/Rockman extend to, the name of one country was still altered in the JP version of the collection (2022).

I think the disclaimer was there primarily for Battle Network 2. When you visit Netopia, your first experience is being mugged. There's a large group of black NPCs that speak in urban ebonics and hang out in the alleys. There's also a bit where you have to rap along with a very dark man on a plane. Honestly it's funny shit. It's just innocent Japanese humor that comes from never seeing black people outside of television or the internet.

 

[I'm Really Feeling It]

I might be tin-foiling here, but I remember Square-Enix calling out modders either this year or last in regards to FFXIV (though that was just a segment of a Live Letter where the director specifically asked people not to show modded screenshots because it could "create a dishonest view of the game".

The ERP dance club/rave scene is relatively big there, and the business around "GPosing" is huge. Photographers charge a crap ton of in-game (and IRL) money just for taking a screenshot of your character with a million texture filters that can change what they're wearing, the environment, and of course the body proportions. Aside from that, the game deviates completely from WoW regarding the acceptability of combat overlays, even DPS meters.

The rules in that game have always outlawed mods, but people like to be cute and have now conflated mods yelling at you exactly what to do with Discord calls and spreadsheets. And as for nude mods, "it doesn't affect you, so keep your nose out of it!!" There was an incident where an in-game club thought it okay to pay for literal billboards IRL to advertise their stuff, and the pictures used datamined outfits and the FFXIV official logo.

ETA that I forgot to mention that top raiders have been penalized and their world-first achievements stripped because they were caught using combat mods.

 

[derpherp2]

There's also the notion that the mindless consoomers will keep buying slop and are somehow locked-in.

Don't forget that this notion of "brand loyalty" cuts both ways and these retards always try reaching for that "bitch about the game but never play it" demographic because sweet baby goes all "jingle jangle pedophile monie bojangles."

Then getting pissy people go for cheaper better products after shitting all over the brand peeople were loyal about.

The only silver rlining to all of this is that nexus mods suffers.

Going into depth would be a wall of text, but a quick summary, expanding of what @X Prime and @Pissmaster said.

• ESG and other corporates incentives.
  • If a game bombs, ESG money covers the losses, Hacks claim that they did everything right. Cite game journos as proof. Arse covered, and only the rank and file are fired.
  • Crowd fund a niche game. Use that money to prove there's a market. Contracts are signed. Investors demand ESG rules in place. It's too late to back out now.
• The boomer idea of infinite corporate expansion. eg. If a game sells 5 million, the next game must sell 6 million. If every straight white male is playing Call of Duty, the only way to expand is to appeal to women, gays, and non-white people.
  • This is compounded by the assumption that brands are magical. That people will buy slop if it has the right logo on it.
• "Localizers" (people in charge of translation) censoring and re-writing things. Motives vary. Sometimes it's money (you get paid more for asset changes), sometimes ego (I could write better than this. Let's put in a bunch of memes and progressive political points that will be outdated by the time the game is released).
  • The Japanese studios didn't know it was happening, and when they did hear about it, they turned to the games press and the localizers to inform them, only to be told it's a small contingent of nazis. When asked why the game didn't sell, localizers claim it's because they didn't censor hard enough.
    • Recent news is Japanese companies are turning to AI translation, and localizers are mad.
  • When weebs started cutting out the middle men and importing games from Japan, companies attempted to stop them via region locking, and when that failed censoring Japanese games in all regions.
• Entryism. Basically getting employed at a company (usually in HR), only hiring people that agree and freezing out people who don't. Once 51% of the company is on side, use your superiour numbers to vote out those in charge.
• Hacks hired by connections instead of merit. Use said connections to freeze out people they don't like.
• Activist game journos. Boomers don't know that journos were discredited and take their claims as gospel.

I might be missing some, but that's the broad stuff.

You nailed it on both counts.

It is absolutely stunning how many people bitch about a given game franchise, and then they admit they only played the most popular entries.

You then have a 50/50 or so chance that they're the ones heavily involved in modding, and they have an extremely nasty habit of adding in, say, Sonic/Touhou characters and other such unfitting things.

We talk a lot about how companies are sick, but the people who play (or "play") a lot of the games and talk about them on social media are sick too in a different way.
