Hm. I wonder why gamers say that.
Denuvo and every employee there can suck my hairy, unshaven, sweaty, salty, moist, oily ball sack.
Denuvo rhymes with "fuck you, no."
Too bad. Denuvo sucks.
I'm a gamer, therfore I know what I'm talking about. Denuvo is SHIT!
I'm a gamer too and I agree. Now there's two gamers saying that denuvo is crap vs one gamer. We got majority.
"I'm a gamer myself, and therefore I know what I'm talking about"
Should we call it a fallacious call to authority, meme on it for being a "how do you do, fellow gamers" moment, or simply mock the guy for whoring himself out in favor of daddy corporate? I could write an essay on the ways this is an absurd statement.
Gamers hate Denuvo because it doesn't "simply work". It limits paying customers from accessing their content, bogs down mid-range machines that are already overtaxxed by poor optimization and, in admittedly uncommon cases, full on breaks some games until patches and fixes roll out. Stop pretending that "gamers" are out here rioting because they're too cheap and immoral to pay for content. Quit your fuckin' lying.
What's crazy is that it's more than that.
"I'm a gamer so I know what I'm talking about, that gamers know nothing about this topic."
The logic is very backwards.
I thought this was an onion article.
Spot on, bravo!
Option 4: All of the above.
Its simple.
Pirates don't ruin games for other players.
Pirates ruin games for the dealers.
Pirates mostly enhance games, in my experience
Not necessarily even that. Piracy can benefit the developer by increasing popularity. Piracy made Bill Gates a billionaire despite his fighting tooth and nails against it.
And also for longevity of the games, I heard that one company (I don't remember the name) selling pirated version of their games for modern system because they can't get rid of DRM themselves
Well I'm a game dev myself and drm is bullshit. Denuvo can get fucked
Too bad you're not a gamer like Denuvonian Man, you'd know a thing or two about games.
and we're tired of Denuvo lol
Denuvo's DRM is bad for games.
DRM is shite by itself as well.
Boohoo, Denuvo, cry me a fudging river!
fucking*
Ducking heck! 😄
Fudging gremmar nazis
God damn right!
Good luck trying to PR like this garbage is useful to the end user, you gonna need it.
Let's not be too hasty to call it garbage when it could in fact turn out to be rancid dog shit.
Well, is because its true.
Well, he's not wrong that it's "super hard" to see any benefit of Denuvo for anyone other than the beneficial owners of Denuvo Software Solutions. Gamers might have a better than average ability to suspend disbelief, but that "new study" was pushing it a bit far.
only good thing about their drm its so expensive very few companies will pay a subscription to keep it active forever
How do you do, fellow gamers!
We should totally just go along with DRM, or they might decide to break other stuff. This is totally an innocent request, and far from attempted extortion.
/s
Well then just stop and we stop. Fuxk them, denuvogames won't be bought, glad steam is marking those games.
Denuvo Games Curator Gives a great and clear indicator so there's no way you could possibly buy one by accident, like the trolls keep trying to argue will happen.
This list is awesome. Unsurprisingly nearly every game has bad reviews.
They're not even for denuvo itself.
I wonder. Do the shitty shovelware games gravitate towards Denuvo? Or do they install denuvo as part of their enshittification process
I figure they must think they can make their games sell better if they include it because it still hasn't occurred to these dumbasses that if your games suck people just won't buy them. Maybe its cope, after all you can't tap into a market of people who don't want your game (well I mean you can, but most companies don't consider scamming people), so they assume all the people not buying it are pirating it.
unless you buy a game that later adds denuvo, of course
Adding denuvo later wouldn't do any good, if a game launches without it it's going to get cracked instantly
Exactly, adding it later just means people can use the earlier versions. Some wiseasses may argue about missing content but that's a stupid argument since cracked games don't get updates to them either unless new cracks are published, and that doesn't happen as often as actual updates are published.
Thankfully it doesn't happen very often and if a game is out for a long while it's a safe bet it very likely won't be added. If they do though that curator still helps because it makes it more visible on the store page, so you can give a negative review, block its updates, and downgrade to a previous version without it (whether that's officially through Steam's downgrade tools, or downloading it elsewhere depends on the circumstance). Or remove it from your account if you don't care about it anymore.
Didn't steam allow refunds regardless of hours played for some game that did this recently?
