Many users bought Resident evil for iOS because it was working offline. Perfect for long trips. But a new update adds a mandatory DRM online check at start-up.

I wrote bought, but actually the word is rented. One day Capcom stops updating the games (and this is 100% guaranteed) and a few years later the "owner" gets "This app needs to be updated to run on this iPhone"

Meanwhile, people who pirated a cracked ipa, don't get any issue in playing the game offline. DRM exclusively hurts the paying customers.

Your a massive a-hole if you get amusement out of people getting screwed out of not being able to use a product they paid to use.

Not laughing at the paying customers but laughing at Capcom.

This move is completely ineffective against pirates (previous IPA already available; future IPA will be just cracked)

Not to mention how hard and inconvenient is to jailbreak a modern iPhone.

Japanese companies watching their IP with the same eyes of Gollum watching the Ring
