Not only that, but Capcom seems to be adding this Enigma Protector bullshit to their back catalog as well, if this Steam forum discussion is to be believed. Bet this borks the games on Linux and Steam Deck now.

Once again I'm astounded by the stupidity of these publishers. These games are already cracked, so why would they retroactively make the paid, legal experience worse on their finished products? Can we make this practice of retroactively making a product worse illegal?

This should bar them from pulling bought titles from libraries as well.

Someone, somewhere, is making decisions about piracy without understanding how it works. And no one could be bothered to correct them.
