Capcom faced backlash after introducing DRM to "Resident Evil Revelations" and has now reverted the update on Steam due to negative reviews. The DRM was intended to prevent piracy but caused performance issues and disrupted modding community activities. The 2012 title, which started on Nintendo 3DS and was later ported to various platforms, is lauded for recapturing the classic Resident Evil experience. Despite the update being rolled back, Capcom has plans to reintroduce DRM once the problems are sorted out.

What is DRM and why do gamers dislike it?

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management and is a set of access control technologies used by companies to restrict the use of digital content and devices after sale. Gamers often dislike DRM because it can cause performance issues, restrict the use of mods, and generally interfere with a user's ability to enjoy their purchased games fully.
