Because we all know how Bethesda's reputation was ruined by Skyrim.
I mean, kinda. But not in the same way, more like Bethesda makes shit games that modders fix.
That was their reputation before Skyrim. Skyrim's many re-releases is how that particular game tarnished their rep.
Although I don’t understand the appeal of Leon in a g-string, I also understand that Capcom didn’t make the mod.
Heads up capcom, the religious conservatives of the world are angry that kids are playing games and not praying. Your reputation is already in the sewers.
Capcom's poor decisions tarnish worse than mods
This subject keeps popping up, and I think the part that's really upsetting me besides the whole "I bought this, Capcom, let me do with it what I want" is the idea that you can have a game where the solution to your problems is blowing someone's head off with a shotgun, but god forbid Chun Li have exposed tits
I'm not here saying that Capcom should just stop putting violence in its games, or that it should just sexualize all of its games. What I AM saying is that the idea that sexuality is inherently more offensive than killing is straight up backwards to me. It's not even a capcom thing. That's just most societies, but Capcom is hitting a nerve with this

Exactly, it's ludicrous and always was. Especially in this day and age.
- Mom/Dad: Billy what are you watching?
- Billy: The Texas chainsaw massacre.
- Mom/Dad: What happens in that?
- Billy: People get hacked up with a chainsaw.
- Mom/Dad: Oh, ok.
Later that day:
- Mom/Dad: Billy what are you doing?
- Billy: I'm playing Street fighter.
- Mom/Dad: What's that?
- Billy: It's a one on one fighting game.
- Mom/Dad: Oh, that's nice... Wait a minute, IS THAT A PAIR OF BREASTS BILLY?!?!
- Billy: yeah, I installed this mod and...
- Mom/Dad: THAT'S IT! (Proceeds to confiscate the console)
As a parent myself, I understand not wanting to expose your kid to sexual content depending on their age, but in the context of sexual intercourse etc, not just a naked body.
I remember hitting a point when I realized how insane it is the most media will solve all problems with guns. Like it makes more sense why the culture cherishes guns after becoming aware how weird it is.
You know what tarnishes the rep of your games? Shitty business practices.
Capcom exec is mad that someone replaced the 9 foot tall dracula woman with Thomas the Tank Engine.
May as well try to prevent the tide from coming in by fighting it with your fists.
Oh no, are we gonna see corporations go after mods now, under the guise of morality and public decency? Fuck offffff
I can't help but feel this stance is because of a recent fuck up where a person hosting a tournament didn't turn off his nude Chun-Li mod while streaming it.
That would be an issue of moderation, tho, not the mods themselves.
Is this the same Capcom that published Devil May Cry games? I'm not sure they need modding to be offending public order and morals
then why did they make so many of the monster hunter monsters so outrageousky attractive?
Didn't you give Cammy a huge dumpy for a reason?
You can't do anything about it, so owe up to it and offer an SDK and Workshop support where you can at least curate the experience and steer it in the right direction.
Honestly, if it isn't "offensive to public order and morals" I'm not that interested.
I don't think I've seen any public backlash hitting the developer or publisher for the content of a mod being "offensive to public order and morals" since the hot coffee stuff, and that was only because it was content already in the game. This is almost certainly a lie and the real reason is they're worried mods will compete with things they're selling.
it’s funny how this was a pretty long and nuanced discussion about modding, but social media is brewing a shitstorm over this one cherry-picked statement.
More like they're worried that mods will outshine them and tarnish their reputation as developers.
