Stop with this always online stuff. This isn't an mmo it's a singleplayer game. Maybe not everyone lives in Western Europe where internet is easily accessible all the time. Hopefully somebody figures out how to implement some way to unlock the content offline anyway.

Always online is the best anti piracy method.

I will prefer to see always online alot more around even in singleplayers, instead risking on denuvo.

The problem is it doesn't work, nor does denuvo as far as I am aware,

How can doesn't work?

Is always online, pirates can't simple crack them.

Always online is a better solution compared to denuvo which potentially can create performance problems if bad implemented.

While I am not going to discuss specifics (mainly because I don't know them and it is against Steam's rules) there have already been people on this very forum saying it is possible with Hitman.
As for Denuvo, it doesn't work to stop them... only delays, the length of which seems to be down to each individual game.

Always online means players must use Developers/publisher servers, isn't something people can bypass.

Always online is a needed thing and is a good thing to be added to singleplayer too.

Well if it makes you happy to believe that it works and doesn't just make it slightly difficult, who am I to burst your bubble?

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss and in my limited experience, that is quite often true.

Edit:For clarity.

Seems more an excuses.

The fact people complaining so much for this type of protection always reinforce the need of it.

IO interactive have done the right choice to use a type of always online.

I can (kind of) understand where you are coming from, I say kind of because I am lucky enough to have pretty reliable internet where I am, on the rare occasions when the servers or my internet have been down it has been annoying even if only for a day or so at most.
I know not the same but I can understand where you are coming from.

Not sure what you mean by excuses?
I haven't really heard/seen anyone 'wanting' always online if that is what you meant?, So I defer to your knowledge on that one.

I am not saying IO shouldn't do anything to stop it, merely that the things that are done are simply stopgaps and do not work long term unfortunately.
Like Denuvo, it seems that it is legit gamers that end up being affected more than the people they are aiming it at.

I see many saying like excuse they have isp problems or similar to justify the removal of always online.

hard to not think is simple an excuse.

Better have a stopgaps not create performance problems like always online than denuvo which potentially have problems for players.

IO interactive have done the right choice in protecting their games.

With the peacock project the community will keep the game going when IOI inevitably pull the servers.

I think they have probably done the only choice they can under the circumstances. Just a pity there is no alternative that actually works long-term against the people it is supposed to target instead of legitimate owners/players.

That and the fact people do get disconnects. Which on contracts can be a minor announce while campaign it’s just frustrating trying to complete challenges. You can or will never stop piracy it’ll happen regardless denuvo is more of a deterrent nothing more.
