OVERKILL adds Denuvo on ONLINE ONLY Game!

[YouTube/@Enivoke]

As if things couldn’t get worse.

Denuvo is well known to slow down performance and have longer load times as well. Why add denuvo when you need online to connect and play, even as a solo player?

This is really silly from the devs…

I really don't understand it. A game being online only is already DRM (literally no other reason for it).

Need for Speed 2015 still can't be pirated to this day because of this, and there's plenty of other examples out there.

Oh yes another classic "I blame denuvo for everything"-thread.

That's because it's probably the other way around, PD3 is online only most likely because of Denuvo, but they waited as much as possible to reveal it.

Mmm... yeah, I was trying to stay optimistic up until then but slapping Denuvo on top of always online AND Starbreeze Nebula thing (which are already *supposed* to act like DRM) is a really questionable decision. Even Activision don't do this to their Call of Duty releases, it's always online + Battle(dot)Net requirement there.
If this idiocracy continues - I'll pull a plug on the pre-order. This is getting plain stupid at this point.
But I suppose it's not Starbreeze's doing. Deep Silver is betting a lot of the PAYDAY 3 horse so it's not that surprising. I'm actually not sure whether I've seen Denuvo in an online game before.

Denuvo does not require an online connection. You need to verify your ownership every so often, but that's connecting once every two or so weeks upon launch and being able to disconnect right there.

There's no reason not to have an offline mode, there is literally no explanation for the always online requirement anymore.

I don't understand why either, especially since it was confirmed from reviewers that crossplay is optional as well, i suppose it's not OVK's choice but deep silver's instead, which is why the game keeps getting these *cough and vomits* "features"

instead of putting more effort into the games, now they have to spend time optimizing the parasite know as Denuvo.

[Unknown Nomad]

Deep Silver, they loved russian trojan horse Starforce back in the day so much, that they used it in DEMOS and now they love Denuvo.

[Hatfield]

Oh man this game has it all.Every box checked for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ practice and business model.It's like a Pokémon catch 'em all.
It will be a difficult purchase if it even comes to that.

[kyuketsuki★]

has anyone actually pirated an overkill game before? why would anyone pirate an online game to just play with day one release version all by themselves? denuvo is unnecessary, i'm not type of gal "denuvo is bad, i blame it for everything" but it's pretty much unnecessary for this type of game.

[♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥]

Oh yes this is definitely a game fit for the 2020's. I can't even get mad about it it's just expected now. It's fine tho because there are tons of other games to play and It makes you appreciate the ones you hold in high regard all the more... especially when you see modern practices such as this.

PD2 got pirated a lot, people who pirated could even play with each other via a spoofing method that made steam think you were playing another game. Dunno if that's a thing anymore, but it definetly happened.

Yeah, I saw that. Overkill just ate a bunch.
First we have killed payday 2 with money grab from epic games. Second we have enormous price on payday 3, where 4 heists cost like a game. Third we have microtransactions even after they apologized they was forced to add drills in payday 2. Fourth we have literally same game with better lightning and no content, why you need to add something payday 2 accumulate all this years, we can sell barebones with skins.
And yes, now game price is fully justified. Denuvo. Overkill when they try to find worst producer ever.
Oh yeah. This reminds me. Anyone remembers Overkill's Walking Dead? How it is, alive? Same mistakes, same odor.
Supported overkill from first Payday, played a lot in second, bought every DLC to support them and believed that they became good, after things like deleting drills. Never thought I will ever consider of buying payday 3. But now, no. From first announce of features, till now. All I see is cash grab, greed, lying. No. It was nice 10 years, tho.
To some people who defend every bad move I will tell. Guys, if you like eat ♥♥♥♥, eat it. But respect others opinion too, just not everyone love ♥♥♥♥, matter of taste you know.
