This should be grounds for a refund if they are adding it post release.

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

MODERATORS
The manager is thinking that they know better than programmers how things "should" be run, same as always.
It sounds more like they've consolidated build pipeline and this obfuscation is part of it.
Yeah what I was thinking, too. Someone stripped a bunch of long-deprecated old pipelines, but this is a nasty side-effect of it as the new pipelines all mandate that DRM being added.
Which is something that a manager decided to implement, and not allow the programmers proper time to do full testing before rolling it out?
Face it, there's no way for managers to weasel out of the blame for this, b/c the buck has to stop somewhere.:-) We simply hold leaders to a higher standard than mere workers, especially if they pay themselves more every hour than a programmer makes in a month (I have not looked into what the pay gap is specifically for Capcom though, this is just programming in general).
I always pirate Capcom. Fuck those dweebs.
I'm guessing this is still related to that time where a guy running a tournament had his nude Chun-Li mod on.
Exactly why I no longer give ubisoft money.
Probably some outstanding service level agreement they walked into.
Look at all that good will. Capcom built up is now gone.
I'm sure this makes sense to the CEO-brain. It doesn't make sense to virtually anyone else, and it really just serves to make Capcom look like dicks.
Yeah, they get talked into it by some salesman and insist they use it even though it's almost always poorly received and never seems to have an impact on piracy.
This ended up being entirely false. This post should either be edited or removed.
edit: while there have been users doing personal research into this matter that casts doubt on it, there is no proof backing up what i just said. going to leave it here with an edit. my apologies.
Got a citation?
lets see what i can find…
thats a reddit thread of someone posting their own results lemme see if i can find a more ‘verifiable’ source
seems i can’t! hey! so i retract my original statement. i would still cast doubt on this but i now have no actual legs to stand on, my apologies.
