Update after Dragon's Dogma 2's release | Original: Re: Capcom on PC game mods

 There's a lot to be said against PC gaming. It's often more expensive, sometimes requiring more technical acumen, more space, more power. With a console, you just plug in the device, slap in a disk, and off you go. [1]. PCs need you to futz around with an operating system, worry about hardware compatibilities, etc.
 But PC gaming does have one huge strength: the huge and relatively easy accessibility of mods. From new skins for your on-screen avatar,
to player-made bug-fixes, to entirely new games made from the base
engine, the modding scene is one of the triumphs of PC gaming and is
often held up as the reason to pick the platform over its rivals.
 It's also something Capcom hates.
 

Back to the topic, but we have updates:
Capcom also hates not making money.
The blocks are falling in place now.
- Use Enigma anti tampering to prevent mods
- Release Dragon's Dogma 2
- Add Micro transactions after release to avoid initial negative reception
- Fast travel is more like an in-game Uber paid with real money
- This is when modders would mod free fast travel into the game, or
other QoL features (remember the autoinjector in S.t.a.l.k.e.r.?)
- Because of the Enigma Anti tamper DRM, it's not possible to mod free
fast travel
- ???
- Profit!
Except that now negative reviews are in full place, there's a desperate
fanbase defending the 20 minutos walking between locations, etc.
Nier (the original) did not have teleportation type fast travel, but you
would fast travel due to the character running as if he had a pepper
shoved where the sun does not shine, and for added fun he could ride a
massive boar that was more reminiscent or riding a steam roller over
mobs at 120 km/h. With Dragon's Dogma 2, it seems to be a slog.
