Regarding unofficially supported Mod as "cheating", Capcom's introduction of "anti-piracy measures" caused controversy among players.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, November 1 (Xinhua)-- Capcom recently released a video entitled "advice on PC Anti-cheating and Anti-Piracy measures", which sets out the official attitude towards the game Mod. Capcom claimed that "unofficially supported Mod is cheating" caused controversy among players.

It is reported that Capcom claimed in the video: "from a technical point of view, in order to achieve anti-cheating and anti-piracy, all unofficially supported Mod should be defined as cheating, after all, it is difficult to distinguish between the two. While most Mod have a positive impact on the player's gaming experience, individual Mod may be harmful to the company's reputation and image, and will also bring more workload."

CTOnews.com also found that, according to foreign media PCGamesN, an anonymous developer working for Capcom mentioned in a speech on "Internal advice on Anti-cheating and Anti-Piracy measures (Anti-cheat and Anti-Piracy Measures)" within Capcom last week that Mod created by players for PC games should be "regulated" because these Mod are not "fundamentally different" from cheating tools at the technical level.

And a number of foreign media and Reddit and other forum players believe that Capcom's remarks are difficult to define which Mod is officially supported and which Mod is not officially supported, and Capcom does not support third-party Mod, or provide official Mod stores for each game, so it can also be considered that Capcom is not friendly to third-party Mod by default.

In addition, officials have promoted their own RE engine in the "cheating prevention" video. Capcom claims that the RE engine has a "security module" that can provide anti-cheating and anti-piracy capabilities, and can be specifically optimized for each game. CTOnews.com has previously reported that Capcom is currently building an "evolutionary" REX engine based on the engine.
