Remove denuvo or no purchase

[Space Punk]

Game looks good, but I don't want malware installed on my PC

[Erra]

They're not gonna remove it just for you, bud....

Would removing it impact the online pvp? Would it make it easier for players to cheat?

No. Denuvo is an anti-piracy measurement.

[Machine Spirit]

Oh right, they may remove it then in a few months time.

actually, many games removed Denuvo after release (much later though).

Bethesda eventually removed it from Prey.

what's wrong with Denuvo? I don't get it ..

I think it is to try and stop piracy in the first months of release, where a game will sell the most units at full price in its lifetime. After that, I don't think Bethesda will be bothered with it and it may get removed eventually. But that said Deathloop has online PVP, does this have anti cheat as well? I cant see Bethesda leaving Deathloop completely vulnerable to cheaters.

I mean I don't understand why some people hate Denuvo.

It slows performance for some users, I know for me it doesn't but I get how it could on some setups. Some people don't like the level of access it has or see it as ineffective because pirate copies will usually turn up online regardless of Denuvo being installed with the game.

Not every AAA IP is popular enough to release a game without some kind of piracy protection. Games like Cyberpunk with its 8 million preorders get away with it, but games like this are not as popular, so I can see it from the developers side.

DID AC Origins ever remove theres ?

[Machine Spirit]

I don't know, but Bethesda does have a history of removing Denuvo after some time. They did it with Prey and Dishonored 2.

What a stupid comment, are you planning to download this game illegally? no wonder covid will not end- because of people like you who are anti-maskers as well.
