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.
There he is.
The only positive thing is that they are SUCH GREEDY FUCKS that companies often patch out the protection after release to stop paying them.
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?

I don’t care what he says, I will never buy a game with Denuvo.
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.
That’s ridiculous, I really hope developers avoid it as the plague more and more.
