Sony please consider adding Denuvo.

[MrRiXter]

I've noticed the piracy of Sony games on PC is insane. Latest Denuvo iterations work great and nearly impossible to crack.

Well if an unimportand randome guy whos opinion matters as much as muddy rain ontop of a forest can notice that, then surely sony knows as well and will decide if it is worth the trouble.

Denuvo may work but it won't increase sales. Those who want to buy will buy, those who don't will just wait. And then there are performance implications of adding denuvo, which may significantly impact these ported games.

I'd give you a clown reward OP, but you dont deserve the points.

[breadman]

i concur

They can wait for a discount that's fine but waiting years for a crack that may never come is silly.

Sony games are single player experiences which makes them vulnerable to piracy as a huge amount of people pirate them, complete them and move on which is unacceptable.

There was a minor performance problem with a specific version of Denuvo but only affected a couple of titles and was quickly fixed.

how is this unacceptable?

Denuvo isn't something I'd ask for, but it's not a dealbreaker as long as it's implemented well. Making it the hill you die on is insane to me.

Look at something like Doom Eternal which is a technical marvel and is so well optimized it's silly. Has Denuvo.

Whether Denuvo impacts performance depends on how well the Dev writes it into the code. If they do a ♥♥♥♥ job then it matters - but they could do a ♥♥♥♥ job optimizing the port in so many ways that this is just one dimension.

♥♥♥♥ any game with Denuvo i don't buy it useless blot. its good to see them not waste time and money implementing some peace of ♥♥♥♥ DRM software and instead spending time on the game.

[MementoMori]

Denuvo games get bypassed eventually, especially if it's a popular title. Also adding anti-piracy measures is a futile thing when that demographic wouldn't buy the game anyway - it ends up hurting the paying customer, please learn from history.

The only solution is to make the product desirable and reasonable price-wise that it makes no sense to pirate.

Not sure, if this thread is just weird trolling or regular ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Bruh...

Jester farming lol

[DrBright]

Denuvo games get bypassed on day one most of the time now, and it does nothing for legitimate uses but add more bloat and possible performance issues. You earned yourself a slow clap there numb nuts.

[Pulkvedis]

Would be a deal-breaker for me TBH.

[LumenPsycho]

Umm? You must be working for Sony..

Denuvo is a joke & a disease upon gaming.

It's proven with research that piracy with games acts a bit different. It's not like with movies & shows where US loses billions of dollars per year because of it. Also, who cares about US anyway, that place is a dump run by the corrupt.

If the game is good, people with a steady income buy & support the devs, as they would like to see more of that kinda content from them in the future.

Those who pirate are usually kids with no income (students & the like). If the game was good, it will still act as marketing & later in life, when they have an income, they will most likely pay for similar stuff.

[kripcision]

denuvo only hurts paying customers, not sure if you noticed but it took around 10 days for hogwarts legacy to get cracked, then the pirates get the better version while the customers get the poorer running version that is invasive. from the comparison between the cracked version and the retail there was around 15 fps difference give or take, the cracked version running better lol. so at that point its just a waste for devs to pay for it when it cant even protect the game for 2 weeks, might as well just use that money to make the game better and the people who want to buy it, will buy it.

look at elden ring, its a massive success on pc, has no denuvo. say no to denuvo.
