Denuvo will NOT make pirates buy the game – it will only inconvenience LEGITIMATE buyers

I'm so excited to play this, but you just had to put a damper on the mood, didn't you? the demo ran flawlessly, so if the release version has poor performance, we'll know EXACTLY why.

Agree but sadly majority of braindead people still thinks that denuvo makes pirates to buy a game lol. Crapnuvo only delays whats inevitable in the end and we know the answer for that.

Let me ask you something :

You make a Software that is sold 70$. Would you like to have 100 users of your product that paid 70$ each or 100 users where only 20 paid your software ?
In the first case you would have 7000$ the first week, in the second one only 1400$ the first week but still have to manage 100 user requests...

Even if anti piracy softwares can hinder game performance, they are usually mandatory for first release sales. I bought Monster Hunter World day one, it had Denuvo. Now that the game does not have it anymore guess what, no performance increase witht the same computer...

Baldur's Gate 3 alone invalidates everything you just wrote. Also, i doubt Lies of P will even sell enough copies (given its also on Gamer Pass) to even pay for that Denuvo license, lmao.

there would be by an order of magnitude more people willing to pay $20 instead of $70.

If you make a product and 20 users buy it and then another 80 users will just pirate it. Would you have 20 users that u need to manage because they bought and own your product or would you have 100 users that you need to manage because they simply have it? Simply pirating any software whatsoever does not give the one who did it any warranties from the developer.

Thus if something goes wrong with "illegal" copies it has nothing to do with those who legitemately bought the product in the first place and whose problems with product are solved by the developers themselves.

[_NoX_]

If a game is good, you don't need to "protect" it from anything lol.
Copy protection is a scam that enables ♥♥♥♥♥♥ games to be sold to dumb people.
If you cannot download the whole thing to see if it even runs on your hardware, what's the point of paying for something that doesn't work properly ? I know there's a demo but that's not the same thing. If it's good, even pirates buy it eventually. But there's also a fact that some games aren't worth as much as they sell for, so it's up to you to judge how much you want to pay for a game, but to do that, you need to play it first. I've downloaded, played and then bought RDR2 and it was worth full price, but I've also blindly bought Arkham Knight and it wasn't worth full price, because it was a broken mess and if I want a broken game, i'm willing to pay 20$, but I won't pay 60$, ♥♥♥♥ that....if they don't do the work, why should we give the reward ?? You get what you deserve and if your quality is ♥♥♥♥, then you cannot expect to earn good money on it.
People should wake the F up and raise their standards a bit, before they waste money on crap.

I'm not buying it one way or another for their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ launch day gating behind deluxe edition "Hey let's sell AA game at 60€, but let's delay it's launch by 3 days and instead - ask 70€ for day 1 access. "

Imagine asking the same price as Elden Ring on janky AA souls game 🤣 and then gate REAL launch behind deluxe edition which useless AF and adds no future content.

Guess what? I'm not only not gonna be extorted for extra 10€, but I won't buy the game altogether until it's like 70% off.

[( °□°） ︵GAMBALUCK]

Denuvo increase price of this game so its bad thing

[Valkyr]

Just lost them a sale from me......this is so annoying, oh well, back to Baldurs Gate

No FROMSOFTWARE game has ever used denuvo and look how it sells, Arxan is basically nothing, it seems just meant to protect the online from cheaters and their games are available for pirates day one, but look how they always sell. They're not mandatory and never will be, denuvo is something for shareholders that damage the user experience of the people who actually buy the games.

[Sunsetter]

Denuvo is the only thing that protects good games.
Just look at Elden Ring or Baldur's gate 3, those barely sold a few copies.

[defnotj4]

denuvo only exists so the company that devlopes it can make money, and they gaslight devs/publishers into thinking it'll be good for them, too. it's a scam, period.

Any real data to backup the claims that Denuvo saves games from pirates? Or it is just another bot account to spam the same fairy tale how people who will not buy the game anyway are hurting sales?

[Griever]

Denuvo doesn’t make pirates buy the game. Besides I believe I’ve seen denuvo games get pirated. The one type of games that pirates can’t pirate are online only games. Being online only makes a game near impossible to pirate and why companies often make it a requirement.

But go on pirate site and you will see tons of games protected by denuvo. All it takes is a smart workaround by some hacker.
