Denuvo promotes piracy

Why? Because pirated assassins' creed runs buttery smooth while steam assassin's creen runs at 25 fps while severely surpassing all the recommended specs. Thankfully I waited for the reviews and didn't buy this, but guess what, despite denuvo being a thing the game will get cracked overtime, and it will run well, that's why denuvo is a failure, it might hinder the speed at which pirates crack the game but they eventually always crack it, while legit consumers run a 60$ game at 15 fps because of this travesty of an antipiracy system

Not every Denuvo-Protected game is getting cracked, only certain titles are. It´s also always the same crackers (Empress/MrGoldberg) who are trying to crack Denuvo, the rest of the scene-groups doesn´t bother with Denuvo and is cracking "Denuvo-Free" games the "regular" way.

GOTHAM KNIGHTS (a Denuvo protected game) for example, has been cracked by a regular scene group, not Empress/MrGoldberg.
Now the thing with GOTHAM KNIGHTS is this: Devs temporarily removed Denuvo to check if its running better without it and that was the moment when the scene cracked it.

I thought GOTHAM KNIGHTS is now Denuvo-free but i was wrong since devs re-activated Denuvo again after they found out it´s actually not causing the stuttering....

....and that also means the GOTHAM KNIGHTS crack is not working with every patched/updated version of the game, because the latter versions are denuvo protected again.

So in case you would be playing the cracked version of that game, you´re stuck with an old version and no updates/patches unless they are removing Denuvo again...or it getting denuvo-cracked by Empress/MrGodlberg.

So lets see if the guys from CALLISTO PROTOCOL are making the same move, looking how the game is running without Denuvo...

Because Denuvo is made to suck to crack...Needing to repatch every patch with all that BS...Pirating is lame. Its not even an expensive hobby.

Bruh there are reasons to not want DRM on your system beyond money or supporting piracy. Piracy just happens to be a solution to the problem of DRM that seems to be losing the battle against Denuvo at the moment.

Just Tegridy Farm using terms like ad hominim and generally not proving anything he's said and making himself look like a neckbeard, pirate loving excuse maker.

I READ THIS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT DENUVO, MEANS ITS REAL.

What did you read Tegridy Farm?

STUFF THAT IM NOT EVEN GOING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A DUMB SHILL BOT

Ok, i'm going to go back to enjoying the game I bought. Carry on.

Literally smooth brain arguments about nothing. Literally nothing. You sound like that dishevelled ginger guy on YouTube who slates all games as bad before they launch for attention.

Zzzzzz. Prove anything you've claimed as fact.

Meh, turns out the dude is pretty even-keeled when you get down to it

Wait a second even-keeled... was that supposed to be a pirate pun? I'm just going to assume it is because it's funny.

"Denuvo promotes piracy"

Very true. I genuinely was planning on buying it right on release day. Then I find out about this denuvo bs. They can keep their game. When it gets cracked, I'll play it.

A good game does not need this stupid drm. Yes, without denuvo they get cracked easily but if it's a good game, people will buy them.

I know plenty of people who would usually pirate who ended up buying the game. Denuvo works, if it didn't then companies wouldn't be spending $100k+ on it. Most people claiming they weren't going to buy it never were going to anyways.

More like, "Denuvo is used as an excuse to pirate games". And is usually accompanied by: "EWWWWW... Denuvo! I hate it so I will pirate the game! THAT will Teach them!!!111one".

That is peak hypocrisy there.

Whereas someone mature would either ignore the game or buy it even if he or she prefers to play a pirated copy for whatever reason.

Same here, I know several people who did the same. But haters are picturing everything as black and white. "Pirates will always pirate" my arse.

Not saying your anecdotal evidence is invalid but thought i'd leave mine. The only reason i even know how to pirate a game is because i don't trust DRM. To be fair it's been a long time since a title has come out that had DRM attached that i considered to be worth my time to pirate. I even bought Elden Ring because i knew i had the option to use the multiplayer mod to run it with the DRM disabled. And let me tell you that was the last time i ever will support a game with DRM on it because it constantly gets made to be unplayable for me because Fromsoft forces me to update my single player game even when i set it not to start a download without my consent which makes it unplayable with multiplayer mod until the mod creator updates the mod.

I mean the pirates will always pirate logic is more based in common sense (if someone wasn't going to buy a game anyway why would they after DRM is added that they know will be cracked in just a matter of time ) than half the geniuses who try to argue that anyone who supports the argument of DRM or the impact it has on performance being bad for the industry is a poor pirate with a bad rig even though you can click on the vast majority of accounts in the conversation and see that they own 100s of games some of which also have high system requirements that they were able to play just fine.

If anything pirates should be thankful. 0$ is too expensive for this game.

Also it's funny to mention this game hasn't even recouped it's cost yet and since the initial sales hype has passed i'd be willing to bet good money they are actually spending more per month on Denuvo than this game is bringing in. From what i understand they also have to sign a contract for a whole year. I bet studios with new IPs and studios that don't think their products have a large enough of an installed user base already willing too support them will think twice about trying Denuvo on other new IPs which will make the service even more useless too the games industry because the only people that will be interested in using it are those with such a large installed user base that their game was going to make massive profits with or without it.

That is already mosty the MO for most games that come out with Denuvo anyway. Games that are made based on an IP that already has a massive following or games that did EXCEPTIONALLY well on console that the developers decide to port over too PC because they know there is interest. The thing is those games have so much interest in them already that the developers don't need to prevent piracy too guarantee a profit they just try to do it out of greed, even if it inconveniences legitimate customers, too make their already massive profits just a little bigger. You'll never see Denuvo on a game that has such a small budget/ development team that piracy actually could have a chance of impacting their chances of making a profit because Denuvo would cost them more than any sells they would ever recoup. Ironically enough those games probably actually need Denuvo.

I'm not 100% against the use of DRM if the company actually needs to use it too profit from their work. The thing is that's not how the game market place is today. The vast majority of AAA publishers continue to release their games on PC with no DRM and if i know one thing about AAA publishers it's that they don't take risk. They wouldn't continue to release games if it was impossible to profit doing so. So if it's possible for a company to profit without inconveniencing their customers and they choose to do so anyway just to make even more money I won't support them and they deserve all the backlash they get IMO.

Also as another aside since this game hasn't even recouped it's cost and i don't see it doing so ever it's only a matter of time before they HAVE to stop paying for Denuvo so those of you waiting for a certain event just be patient :). Well one of 2 things will happen. Either they won't release a patch to disable denuvo once they have to stop paying for the service and i'll be proven right on why it's bad for general consumers, when no one can play their legally purchased game anymore, or they will disable it and pirates will have a field day.

I haven't read anything, only 4 or 5 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but not just about you, you're not the navel of the world but I see that you've been quoting and being offended, look pirate boy, I've already lost enough money with this game to also waste time dealing with your traumas
