- Capcom made several changes in the latest Onimusha 2 remaster by censoring, causing concerns among the fandom.
- Along with censoring, the game also features Denuvo, making it even more controversial.
- Due to that, it launched to only 1.6k players on Steam, hinting at a complete failure.
Censorship and Denuvo in a video are hated by a massive community in the gaming industry. Gamers collectively hate these two words because they ruin games. Censoring the remaster of an iconic game is already a pretty controversial move, but adding Denuvo to that game can add fuel to the fire.
The same thing happened with the Onimusha 2 remaster. Many fans were excited about the remaster, but as the release date approached, the hype died down, mainly because Capcom censored everything and added Denuvo to the game. Due to that, it flopped on release.
Why it matters: Many developers are focusing on the modern audience that isn’t really available in massive numbers, which is exactly why a lot of games aren’t performing as they are supposed to.
Two days ago, the Onimusha 2 remaster was released to only 1631 players, meaning the game clearly flopped. As of this writing, only 546 players are playing the game, and the 24-hour peak is 1359. So, just after a day during the weekend, the game’s peak reduced, which speaks volumes.
This remaster has completely flopped on the PC, and we know exactly why. Fans already heavily criticised Capcom recently for censoring its video games, but the gaming giant didn’t listen, and you can see what happened.
Normally, the fans who have bought the game were disgusted by Capcom and chose not to give this company their money. Another main reason was Denuvo’s addition to the video game.
Despite Denuvo’s head claiming that the technology doesn’t affect a game’s performance, it has been proven on many occasions that it does negatively affect it. While Denuvo does protect the game from being cracked, it may affect sales more negatively than expected.
If they remove Denuvo and restore the censored content I’ll pick the game up. Not even the smallest chance until then.
Fans are saying that “censorship is cancership” and hoping that Capcom learns from this mistake.
