They're not wrong but the real reason publishers are against modding is because

  1. It extends the lifetime of a game and the existence of "overhaul" or enhancement mods especially goes against their interest in selling sequels and remasters.

  2. If everyone was comfortable with modding it would be pretty hard to sell cosmetic items the same way they do now.

I choose to believe that this is the first time some Capcom executive became aware of rule34 content, and organized a series of awkward high level meetings about it where the rest of the staff all had to pretend like they haven't known about the existence of lewd fan content from age 13 on.

It's a pretty amusing head cannon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile, we’re all reading your comment pretending people only start to look at lewd stuff at age 13…

The only thing offensive to public order and morals is prudish bullshit religious ideology.

Nothing about the naked human form is immoral.

Sir, I will make you aware of your error. Children (innocent!) may be exposed to the naked breast from birth to age 1.5, and then again from age 18 until death. Any exposure to the unaugmented protuberances of the female form during which the victim has witnessed the earth revolve around the sun more than twice but fewer than one score times has been scientifically proven to corrupt the youth and chasten the modest!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

You heathen! You would allow little innocent children to see boobies! This is an outrage!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's like one of the most beautiful things in existence.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Female characters are heavily sexualised and objectified though. And what media does it is not helping with the issue happening in real life as well.

It's immoral because Chun Li didn't consent.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Lol. Cartoon characters giving consent.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago

So how to install the mod?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean it's not surprising that Capcom is complaining about people modding nude characters into their games, but this still reads like some Capcom executive just learned what mods were and what they could do.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

His mind is going to blow when he learns of Rule 34.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This reminds me of when Tommy Itagaki threw a fit over nude mods for Dead or Alive. "These characters are like my children!" If that's how you treat your children, someone ought to call CPS.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Christ. Dude was surprised the game with a jiggle physics slider for tit bouncing got nude mods?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The first Tomb Raider had a woman made out of a few basic polygons resulting in triangular breasts and of course, someone made a nude mod for it.

People refer to "Rule 34" on the Internet for a reason.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and I remember playing those demos when they first came out. Tho my point was that DoA was a jiggle physics trailblazer then homie comes at horny peeps. This is what made your money, dude. Animu titties. Cope.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Right? If it were something like Last Of Us I'd get it, but fighting games generally have characters designed to titillate. The ladies are mostly cheesecake pin-ups but with bigger muscles. Getting cranky about nude mods in those is hilariously hypocritical.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The fact Itagaki compares nude mod to children is extremely concerning. An investigator needs to make sure children are safe around the guy.

'There are a number of mods that are offensive to public order and morals'

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm always surprised when I see articles like this sporadically come up.

These days you can mold games into whatever you want them to be with mods. It's a deliberate action by the consumer and fits right in with rule 34 content.


There's also a lot of bigger targets out there for adult content like Skyrim and the Sims.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why surprised? Capcom needs to say something because their game was involved, but they don't have anything really to say, so they article fluffs it up a bit.

It baits rage, gets clicks, and ultimately is inconsequential.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think they really need to say anything is my point. It would be like Mojang commenting about gun mods for Minecraft

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They make a game that's popular in tournaments, and this mod was used at a tournament. So I think they have an obligation here to say something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This mod wasn't "used at a tournament". An online tournament was held, and the guy running the Twitch stream was using SF6's spectate feature to display the match. Said guy had a naked mod installed. None of the tournament contestants were using mods (or if they were, said mods didn't cause any issues).
