People that bought Resident Evil iOS ports are pissed that now there's a mandatory DRM online check at launch. Punish only the idiot customer who paid $150 and can't play, when pirates laugh at that (www.engadget.com)

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.

idiot in the eyes of Capcom. For them, they're gullible people that need to be milked. Who cares if they can't access what they paid for?
