The Enigma situation is almost entirely manufactured outrage set off by a particularly poorly timed patch for one game. It's not a response to the Chun-Li situation and has been in a ton of Capcom's games long before the internet decided to make a row about it.

had to check on this one.
didn't know it was there before the chun li situation though it does look like their usage went up afterwards. still, you're right in that it was used before. but i wouldn't call it "manufactured outrage" though, Revelations and Rise were the two notable patches which added it that broke Steam Deck compatibility and this was in back to back weeks. that's less manufactured and more just a case of they implemented it poorly and then had to fix it the next day. mods are trickier in that some broke, some didn't, and the ones that didn't just found another workaround. in terms of performance, that's something it can't help but impact, though how much you'll feel is different considering a lot of the older catalog doesn't need much by modern standards.

all that said, it's still the reason why Capcom games get review bombed. even if it's misinformation, it had a very real origination point, Enigma's response was awful, and people don't like DRM. also true that it's pretty shitty at its job and pirates win again so hey~
