It’s worse than that, they’ve been going through their back catalog and adding Enigma Protector DRM to games because the company doesn’t like mods saying they are no different than cheating and some are morally offensive.
There’s conflicting messaging on it, some on Steam claim when they implement it that mods quit working, and others claim that just isn’t true… I don’t know as I’m not paying what Capcom wants for some of their games, but I know that it messed up compatibility with the Steam Deck when they added it to Monster Hunters in January.
If I owned one of the games that might get it, I would look into keeping a second copy that isn’t updated though. Or turn off auto-updates in Steam.
I have DDDA on GOG, so I can just download an offline installer, which dates back to 2017. So I think I’m good on that front. And I don’t think I own any other Capcom games, a situation that is unlikely to change in the near future given what you told me. It makes me sad, because I’ve been looking forward to DD2 for years. Oh well. I guess I’ll just get Elden Ring once the DLC comes out instead.
I’d be willing to pay that if it didn’t have Denuvo DRM. Since it does, the price I’m willing to pay is about an order of magnitude lower.

Oh man… But morally offensive mods are the best ones! I guess I’d better back up my DDDA installer before this plague reaches it, huh?
