Capcom is ruining our fun by blocking Resident Evil mods
Where would we be without modders? Giving a new lease of life to your games, the likes of Skyrim have been kept on life support for over a decade, thanks to the ever-creative modding community. We've already seen PC players improve Starfield via mods, fans have made a "proper" GTA Trilogy, and Elden Ring is a whole new game thanks to mods.
More than just stripping your characters nude or putting Thomas the Tank Engine in a variety of weird scenarios you'd never normally find him, mods can be used to fine-tune titles to make them better than the devs could. From graphical to performance buffs, mods are an essential part of gaming.
Capcom clamps down on modding

As Capcom continues its war against modding, the company has updated Resident Evil Revelations with new anti-modding software.
On the Steam forums, players have been poring over a SteamDB update and the apparent addition of The Enigma Protector. The Enigma Protector is an anti-tamper DRM, and according to The Enigma Protector website, will "protect the executable file from hacking, analysis, modification and disassembly."
More than clamping down on modders, the update is accused of stopping older Capcom games from being able to run, while some are reporting stuttering issues that are common with DRM. It's particularly strange that Capcom has started this rollout with Revelations - an 11-year-old game.
