In a recent Capcom R and D presentation, Capcom has clarified that it Capcom considers mods equal to cheating, and is worried that "mods that violate public order or morals" will cause them PR damage (twitter.com)

Ok if mods are cheating, that's fine. Who cares if people cheat on their own experience of a game they bought? Oh no, someone is "cheating" at Megaman 🙄. Someone is cheating at Resident Evil. So what, Capcom? Why does it matter? Who are they impacting besides themselves?

Online issues? Different story, so just make sure those people can't play online. Gotta tell ya, though, the overwhelming majority of mods don't do that, and when they do, the devs have already put something in there to deter it. Most mods on multiplayer games are model swaps and reskins (really, it's all just big titty mods)

Instead, Capcom, give us mod tools. Do what Bethesda does and give us a whole-ass creation kit, that way, your game can remain relevant for over a decade and make bank every couple years when you rerelease it. Skyrim isn't beloved for the vanilla experience
