卡普空近日撤回了一个针对 11 年前经典游戏《生化危机：启示录》的更新，该更新引入了名为 Enigma Protector 的数字版权管理（DRM）技术。玩家抱怨更新后游戏严重影响性能，并导致崩溃，尤其是在使用 MOD 的情况下。这款老游戏在短时间内收到了 200 多条负面评价，迫使卡普空迅速回撤了 DRM 更新，并向受影响玩家发布了道歉声明。
此次事件再次暴露了卡普空限制 PC 游戏 MOD 的意图，此前该公司曾将 MOD 视为 PC 游戏体验的限制因素。然而令人费解的是，在一部发行已十多年的老游戏上添加 DRM 无疑是一步怪棋。事实上，卡普空并非首次在老游戏中加入 Enigma Protector DRM，此前《洛克人 EXE 合集》、《卡普空街机游戏合集》、《街机 2nd 合集》、《洛克人 Zero / ZX 合集》、《生化危机 5》、《街头霸王 30 周年纪念合集》等多款卡普空经典作品也被添加了 Enigma Protector DRM。
目前，卡普空并未就 DRM 事件给出进一步解释，而 Enigma Protector 方面则否认参与其中。然而，这场风波重新掀起了 PC 游戏 DRM 的讨论热潮。过去，玩家通常将游戏卡顿和性能问题归咎于 Denuvo DRM，现在，Enigma Protector 也成为了众矢之的。卡普空是否会在即将于 3 月 22 日发售的《龙之信条 2》中加入新 DRM，答案只能拭目以待。

Title: Capcom’s DRM Update for Resident Evil: Revelations CausesTitle: Capcom’s DRM Update for Resident Evil: Revelations Causes Outrage and Is Quickly Withdrawn
Keywords: Capcom, DRM update, game performance
Content: Capcom has recently withdrawn an update for the classic 11-year-old game Resident Evil: Revelations that introduced Enigma Protector digital rights management (DRM) technology. Players complained about significant performance issues and crashes in the game after the update, especially when using mods. The old game received over 200 negative reviews in a short period of time, prompting Capcom to quickly retract the DRM update and issue an apology statement to affected players.
This incident once again exposes Capcom’s intention to restrict PC game mods, as the company previously viewed mods as a limitation to the PC gaming experience. However, it is perplexing that adding DRM to a game that has been released for more than a decade is a strange move. In fact, this is not the first time Capcom has added Enigma Protector DRM to older games; several other classic Capcom titles such as Rockman EXE Collection, Capcom Arcade Stadium Collection, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and Resident Evil 5 have also been updated with Enigma Protector DRM.
Capcom has not provided further explanation regarding the DRM incident, while Enigma Protector denies involvement. Nevertheless, this controversy reignites discussions on PC game DRM. In the past, players often blamed Denuvo DRM for game stuttering and performance issues; now, Enigma Protector has become the target of criticism. Whether Capcom will introduce new DRM in Dragon’s Dogma 2, which is set to be released on March 22nd, remains to be seen.
