Capcom caught adding Enigma DRM to older titles, for no good reason (www.techspot.com)

Capcom is adding DRM to their old games, even singleplayer ones. This seems like an intentional move to prevent modding, but it also seems to decrease FPS and cause crashes. What the hell are they thinking?

I'm sure this makes sense to the CEO-brain. It doesn't make sense to virtually anyone else, and it really just serves to make Capcom look like dicks.

Yeah, they get talked into it by some salesman and insist they use it even though it's almost always poorly received and never seems to have an impact on piracy.
