"No, it wasn't a new game or a remake or even a fancy remaster. Instead, Capcom revealed that 1999's Dino Crisis and its 2000 sequel, Dino Crisis 2, were now available to buy on Valve's large digital PC gaming store, Steam. As mentioned already, that's cool. I mean, the games have been available on GOG for a bit and can be easily emulated on fairly weak PCs, but it's always nice to see publishers bringing older games to more platforms and stores."
"Over on the Dino Crisis Steam forums, you can see plenty of people yelling at Capcom about this incredibly silly and frankly stupid decision. "DRM on a 27-year-old game? Really? What's wrong with these guys?" asked one user. Others pointed out that this is the same DRM that Capcom recently added to its years-old Resident Evil 4 remake. And that was a disaster, causing all sorts of performance problems for many users on PC."
Capcom released the original PlayStation-era Dino Crisis (1999) and Dino Crisis 2 (2000) on Steam on February 12, adding Enigma Protector DRM to the PC ports. Players noticed the DRM quickly, prompting angry reactions across Steam forums and comparisons to the Resident Evil 4 remake, which suffered serious performance problems after receiving the same DRM. The Steam releases appear identical to the GOG builds except that the GOG versions remain DRM-free. Capcom had not responded to queries at the time of reporting. Many users expressed concern that retro releases should not carry performance-killing DRM.
