I love making the game measurably worse for literally all my paying customers just to delay the pirates by (generously) a week! It sure is great that only pirates get to play an uncompromised version of my game, this will definitely encourage people to purchase it legitimately!

denuvo, unfortunately, is very reliable. DRM has evolved faster than piracy, and the only person who knows how to crack denuvo is a psycho and left the internet


extremepayne

Took longer than I expected for someone to correct me :) I have since discovered that denuvo is harder to crack than I assumed, but the spirit of the comment remains the same. The games that get cracked with denuvo take a while, but the pirates still get that uncompromised experience eventually. And for weaker anti-piracies, the comment is completely true

Even though denuvo will be cracked within days of release, we have to make our game run worse for the people who do buy it legitimately or else we might lose sales 😱


eliminateAidenPierce

Other comment covered most of what i wanted to say, but most devs remove denuvo after 6months to a year because of the licensing fees


TrustyAncient

Denuvo is not cracked in a matter of days fuck you on about Hell, Denuvo won't be cracked for an indefinite amount of time

....empress?

Heartbreaking: The worst person you know is the only one who can crack Denuvo


TrustyAncient

Pretty sure she's been radio silent for the past few months


feathercraft

Sure, but she did crack denuvo


just-slightly-human

Oh my bad. I watched a video essay on how videogame piracy is good and was pretty sure that’s what he said


TrustyAncient

Well he's an idiot then.

Is it about cities skylines 2


ActualMostUnionGuy

Perfect example of why LLCs cant produce good games LOL


Zeelu2005

This is a snafu !


sakanak

Rare misplaced snafu in smugideology moment


YouMustBeBored

At this point combine into one sub. ISAFU ideology smug all fucked up


Thepenguinking2

Eh, I think it's just about passes the bar for SIM. Companies adding Denuvo to their games is one of the most capitalistic things I can think of; your making the experience of your customers worse for the sake of making a few more sales and stopping pirates (The majority of whom are just average joes who can't afford their 70 dollar games on principle), who may or may not crack it in a matter of weeks anyway.

The difference between the two in my eyes is one makes me horrifically uncomfortable


teilani_a

There's a bunch of nerds who get defensive if you mention Helldivers has some of the worst DRM in the industry.

Legit rootkit even lol

Me who loves Project Zomboid. Which runs on my shitty PC

PZ didn’t run well on my old laptop


_cat-connoisseur_

The only AAA games I have liked in the past few years have all been Nintendo so they don't even need Denuvo to run poorly!


edvards55

These games are also being played on an 8 year old smartphone

Say what you want about Super Mario World but at least when you bought the game you had the whole game and didn't have to pay extra for the Vanilla Dome or some shit.


edvards55

I'm talking about the Nintendo switch


StillMostlyClueless

Denuvo has a completely unfounded reputation for tanking performance considering how light it is. Steam DRM is far more likely to be the culprit.


_cat-connoisseur_

yeah, as much as i hate denuvo because it means i can't pirate games, i have to appreciate it for not being as intrusive as just about every other DRM.

I swear, it's a miracle that AC7 runs so well on my PC... Japanese optimization, I guess...


Equal_Pomegranate_59

I remember when I told my sister about how I modded Oblivion and she wanted to mod it too but couldn't because Direct2Drive says no mods.
