卡普空更新 iOS 版《生化危机 4》《生化危机 8》和《生化危机 7》，添加在线 DRM

TouchArcade Rating:

Mobile game updates often improve optimization or compatibility. However, Capcom's recent update for Resident Evil 7 biohazard, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and Resident Evil Village on iOS and iPadOS introduces an unwelcome change: mandatory online DRM. This DRM verifies your purchase history upon game launch, checking for ownership of the game and any DLC. Refusal results in game closure. While this takes only a few seconds with an internet connection, it completely removes the offline playability previously enjoyed. This is a significant drawback, rendering the games less convenient than before.

Pre-update testing confirmed offline functionality. Now, the online check is unavoidable. While some players may not mind, the addition of this always-on DRM to already-purchased titles is concerning. Ideally, Capcom would implement a less intrusive purchase verification method, perhaps checking less frequently. This update unfortunately impacts the recommendation of Capcom's premium mobile ports.

If you're considering these games, free trials are available. Download Resident Evil 7 biohazard here (iOS, iPadOS, macOS), Resident Evil 4 Remake here (App Store), and Resident Evil Village here. Read my reviews here, here, and here.
