Just Tested it: You CAN play Dead Space Remake offline!

[Dexaldem]

Hooray! :D

[Kizuna Dragon]

the Jury is still out on the Denuvo thing, seems nobody can confirm one way or the other

[Donaldo Trumpado]

Denuvo ftw

[Dexaldem]

I just tested it. Denuvo is in the game, and I stand by the statement that Denuvo can burn in the hellish pits of Tartarus for its heretical existence, but I CAN play the game offline. I just have to boot it up for the first time while connected, because EA wants people to link their Steam Accounts (Yeah, that's not happening), But after that, I decided I'd unplug the internet and boot the game up again. No trouble starting it up or getting into a game. It tried to connect to the Steam Cloud, but once it gave up? Yeah, works just fine. But still, ♥♥♥♥ Denuvo. Also:

Not at all. I am glad it's in the game. Pirates are scum, and any action taken to frustrate them is fine by me

It does nothing but punishes the people who bought it.

Piracy is a necessary evil to ensure that companies prioritize customer satisfaction and ease of access over profit.

The video streaming services is a perfect example. People stopped pirating when Netflix came out because it had a huge selection all in one place for a cheap price. Now there are over 20 different streaming services with exclusives and movies bouncing between them constantly making it both too expensive and a massive pain in the ass to find the movie you're looking for which has caused piracy to make a resurgence as it is now more convenient to pirate a movie for free than pay $100 a month over a dozen different services.

iirc denuvo requires an internet connection when you initially launch the game. Then it will periodically lock the game if you don't launch it while online.

It hasn't seemed to cause me any performance issues in the past, but definitely wish there was some definitive information on how it worked.

I had to reinstall my game to attempt to fix something and Denuvo locked me out for 24h thinking this is a being installed on a different device. Denuvo does nothing but piss off paying customers. Pirates will still win.

One thing... if you buy a game you will never own it, not for real, unless it's physical (which is almost never now days). HOWEVER, if you pirate it.... it is yours forever, but DON'T you worry, words always come back to bite you in the ass eventually. May you never need to choose between eating, clothes or shoes and a video game made by scum of the earth corporations that thirst for everyone's greens without discrimination. But just try and guess what anyone with common sense goes for in that situation...

it will work for a while offline but soon or late it will ask you to go online again, because it periodically checks in the background.
I don´t have DS remake but others denuvo games behave like this.
