I don't like that they target mods. But they have some valid concerns. And that's all I will say.
Say goodbye to you graphic overhaul mods. And no, those are not valid concerns, at least from a logical and even their stated ''moral'' perspective.

“However, for the purposes of anti-cheat and anti-piracy, all mods are defined as cheats. That is to say that mods that are not officially supported by the game, are impossible to distinguish from cheat tools, implementation-wise.”
That's just a big fucking lie right there, as anybody who's done mods or been involved with games at all for the past 20-30 years can tell you. Tons of fantastic games have had massive modding communities AND manage to implement ways for fair multiplayer games without being like Riot or Capcom with their Kernel level malware. Take old Steam or Bethesda and their games as a good and shining examples of how to actually behave like a decent company and not be openly hostile to your fans.
The main reason I still play games is because of mods, baring a few exceptions, I can't remember the last time I've played any of my old mainstay games unmoded. I've played the same games for decades now because they were modded, its what's allowed them to still be relevant or fun decades after their initial launch. Communities still exist for things like the goldbox games, or ultima, or unreal, or tes, or quake, or doom, or team fortress classic, or wolfenstein, or duke, or mario hacks, or pokemon hacks, or ...well you get the picture.
Not only are capcom wrong on this, they are fundamentally at odds with the reality of what gaming is.
