The Resident Evil franchise has always been a popular hotspot for modders and has made many famous clips, but it seems like Capcom is now cracking down.
NSFW mods are the target of Capcom’s fury; even though so many have been made, they have singled out one YouTuber in particular, GrizzoUK. He made his fame by documenting and showing off these mods in a series of over 1000 videos. This drew the attention of Capcom, who have ordered him to take down all of the videos depicting these mods. His recent content has been about Requiem, but he has been making videos on Resident Evil mods since 2023 and has amassed a following of 217,000 subscribers.
His response to this news was an hour-long video in which he expressed his disappointment that he alone was being singled out, despite other channels doing the same thing. He was also curious as to why they are not targeting the mod creators themselves, but he has not received a response to his replies to Capcom.
Capcom’s initial email reads, “It has come to our attention that our materials (characters, etc.) have been used to create modifications containing adult content, and that videos related to them have been created and published on YouTube. Please be aware that such use is not authorized and violates our terms of service, as well as applicable copyright and intellectual property laws. To resolve this matter amicably, we request that you delete the videos listed in the appendix to this notice by April 21, 2026.”
After this news, YouTube mistakenly terminated his account before reinstating it, presumably due to Capcom’s copyright strikes. But Grizzo has also said he plans to start a new account later, while taking a step back from his current account and focusing on live streaming. He even had to pause comments on his videos, streams, and posts because of the amount of death threats he was getting.
Capcom’s reaction to mods over the years has been mixed. Occasionally, we get situations like this, or we get a good response from a mod being developed to stop Monster Hunter Wilds from continuously scanning for DLC, tanking the game’s performance. Capcom’s policy on mods is shaky at best, and it still remains to be seen whether they will target other creators doing the same thing or the creators of the mods themselves.
