Many users bought Resident evil for iOS because it was working offline. Perfect for long trips. But a new update adds a mandatory DRM online check at start-up.
I wrote bought, but actually the word is rented. One day Capcom stops updating the games (and this is 100% guaranteed) and a few years later the “owner” gets “This app needs to be updated to run on this iPhone”
Meanwhile, people who pirated a cracked ipa, don’t get any issue in playing the game offline. DRM exclusively hurts the paying customers.
Not laughing at the paying customers but laughing at Capcom.
This move is completely ineffective against pirates (previous IPA already available; future IPA will be just cracked)
Not to mention how hard and inconvenient is to jailbreak a modern iPhone.
Japanese companies watching their IP with the same eyes of Gollum watching the Ring
You literally changed the title so you could call them idiots.
idiot in the eyes of Capcom. For them, they’re gullible people that need to be milked. Who cares if they can’t access what they paid for?
