Personally, I’m okay with Denuvo and other similar DRM when it’s used for the intended purpose - to prevent launch day hype piracy. The first few weeks/months are crucial for sales, and I can understand why developers do it.
But after that, especially after the game is cracked, remove the fucking DRM, it did what it could and is now useless, and only makes the experience of legitimate customers worse.
Because as we all know, being a gamer means you can’t also be a fucking moron.
… Wait.
One experience with other people on Xbox Live voice chat can disprove that.
I bet he plays like it’s Call Of Duty in multiplayer games which require team cooperation.
Arrogant cunt. Fuck you and your shitty “product”.
There he is.
Denuvo profits off game developers fears of their game not being well received by gamers for reasons such as performance issues, bugs, or at its foundation is just a mediocre game.
I like to believe that the narrative that piracy hurt sales is only true for medicore/bad games because the average pirate is broke and they are not going to buy your game just because of denuvo and those who can afford to buy will choose not to after getting to try it.
On the other hand good games will always be commerical successful with or without denuvo.
God, hard to read more than half of it, this guy’s a total idiot. He really thinks he sells a solution, fucking wake up off that dream. It was nice, you enjoyed it, now wake up, go do something else, or just take the money and retire, idk, idc.
Fuck DRM, what a shitty way of screwing up content.
What makes you think he’s an idiot as opposed to lying through his teeth?

The only positive thing is that they are SUCH GREEDY FUCKS that companies often patch out the protection after release to stop paying them.
I don’t care what he says, I will never buy a game with Denuvo.
If it were just bad PR, publishers wouldn’t be removing it from their games left and right. It’s a flawed security system.
That’s easy, I never buy games at launch or in the first few years after release!
Same for me. Denvo killed me enjoyment of monster hunter world. Locked me out of the game when I tried playing it after a long break from the game. Being told I have to wait 24 hours before attempting to play a game I paid for was a quick way to get me to not want to buy any denuvo game.
That is ridiculous. I love Monster Hunter, but if that happened to me I would instantly refund the game.
It’s really a shame, because I was super excited for MH:Wilds, but the confirmation that it will include Denuvo killed my enthusiasm completely.
At least Capcom eventually removes denuvo from their games. I’ll probably wait until that happens to play Wilds.
Yeah, and at that point I’ll also just wait for a 50% off sale, whereas I would otherwise have been a day 1 purchase.
I feel like this happens a lot, honestly - there’ll be a game I’m really excited for, and either it’s got some shitty DRM, or it’s a timed Epic exclusive, or whatever else, and then a few months later when I could be playing it, I’ve mentally moved on to other things and I end up just buying it much later on deep sale if at all.
There’s a lot of games coming out all the time; if I get past that initial hype period around launch without buying a thing, it’s 50% or more off, or I won’t buy it at all.
That’s ridiculous, I really hope developers avoid it as the plague more and more.
