Capcom's Concerns: PC Game Modding and Reputational Damage

Japanese publisher Capcom views unauthorized modding of PC games as a problem akin to cheating, citing potential reputational damage and support costs. While acknowledging that mods are popular and can have a positive impact, Capcom argues that mods that are not officially supported by the game are indistinguishable from cheat tools and can tarnish the company's image. Additionally, Capcom highlights the threat of piracy and the need for anti-piracy measures to prevent profit loss.
