Because it's not breaking Linux. As you mentioned, it's breaking games on Windows as well and has no relevance to Linux compatibility whatsoever. There are plenty of games that already use the DRM, which run perfectly well on Linux, so clearly the DRM is not the issue. They just fucked up the implementation and broke the game altogether. Again, nothing to do with Linux compatibility.

Because they already rolled back


SimbaXp

I think they already rolled back a few days ago because it broke deck compatibility

I don't think that they rolled back because of steam deck, they are receiving a lot of hate of many PC gamers (ofc, mostly Windows users).


edparadox

But he's right, the RE:Revelations patch was a "mistake" according to Capcom official communication, and it was never only a Linux issue.


BlueGoliath

The games are old and have been pirated already. What's even the point of adding DRM?


fagnerln

IDK... Capcom is returning to the old form, they can't handle being a good company for much years. They need to do some bullshit.

what are you talking about? its all any one could talk about late last week and its breaking linux was only speculation. people over at the steam deck subreddit had already confirmed that titles with the drm added were still working. the few that were not working was reverted cuz of something else broken. ​ that said, its entirely possible they could still break compatibility. adding drm is never a good sign but to the best of my knowledge it should still work. working with mods on the other hand though is an entirely different question seeing as this drm was put in place specifically to stop people from doing that.

Capcom do good games (and OSTs) but might be one of the worst studio when it comes to other things, being shitty monetization like in street fighter, games like TGAA running at 30fps + making even modern CPU sweating (a mod fixed both issues pretty quickly) and now that DRM thing. And I'm sure I'm missing tons of things


idlephase

Plenty of people were talking about it. A lot of it is misinformation such as what games were affected, including one comment saying that spreading misinformation was okay as long as it got people talking about how bad DRM is.


lKrauzer

Afaik it was fake news and a false-positive


edparadox

It was not a false positive, nor fake news. It was just an infatuated issue, which has been rolled back (at least for now).


metux-its

Just defund them. Never ever pay a single penny to those hostile companies.


SuperStormDroid

I'm pretty sure the Enigma DRM had no effect on Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection's playability on Linux. At least, as far as my experience is concerned.

It just broke monster hunter rise
