Not only that, but Capcom seems to be adding this Enigma Protector bullshit to their back catalog as well, if this Steam forum discussion is to be believed. Bet this borks the games on Linux and Steam Deck now.

I've said this elsewhere, but I think the reason is because they felt embarrassed by that one Street Fighter tournament where the hosts had a nude Chun Li mod on. They're overreacting and putting DRM in place to stop mods from working in general so that can't happen again.
