Purchase Can't Be Validated

[Saber_Breaker]

I've been suffering from frequent random crashes on my Steam Deck and I've been trying everything I can to alleviate the situation. I just tried running the game on older Proton versions and I ran into this issue where now my purchase can't be validated. Am I seriously waiting 24 hours to try again? Can we get the crashing fixed? This is so aggravating.

Ah, looks like Denuvo is the culprit. I'm gonna have to steal their hearts.

Denuvo imposes a limit of 5 installation a day.This is also an anti pirating safe guard.

Not only anti-piracy, but also anti-proton and anti-cutomer and few other anti thing that are objects of arguing

Somebody trying to crack Denuvo would be trying to activate the game constantly in that process. 5 activations is not anti consumer.99% of people activate it first try. The few having issues with installing the game can wait 24 hours.Its not a big deal.Only pirates complain about Denuvo. I have never had any issues installing a Denuvo game. First time...every time.

Alright, so tell me then, what are your benefits for having denuvo in the game as consumer?

Right, definitely obvious and definetely no pirates are playing this game today. I mean why should you care about serivices you get. Not sure if this some kind of stockholm syndrome or something else

TS try to google regarding Steam Deck configuration, I'm sure you will find something, but yes, you need to wait for 24 hours because denuvo treats different proton versions as different devices

If your not bright enough to know what Denvuo does for developers thats on you. I have 12-20 Denuvo games.They all work fine .NO issues with any of them. Denuvo DELAYS pirates through the initial sales period and increases sales for developers. Sometimes even delaying it for over a year. As far as its effect on me. None so far.

Any proof regarding sales? Revenue? Denuvo is free? No risks for the customers as delayed fixes and other stuff? Delaying with what? 1$ gamepass? Pirating on PS4? Pirating on switch? Maybe some other magic things? If you have no issues that doesn't meant that no one have issues because it pretty hard to check every hardware and with some blackbox 3rd party those risks only increase. But well, to whom I'm speaking to.

the proof should be in them continuing to buy very expensive licenses for it. Or do you think they just throw away money. They no more about there sales than you do.

Ok, let me use your logic - why other companies don't use denuvo then? If it so profitable everyone should use it, right?

Yeah, I answered my own question back up top. Thank you for calling it quits on the Denuvo debate.
Here's hoping I can at least get a fix for the consistent, frequent crashing issues.
