Get rid of Denuvo, or I'm not buying.

[Mr J]

I only found out after purchasing Yakuza 7 that it had Denuvo. I don't plan on making that mistake again. Stop taking bribes from shady companies, stop letting them sell info about our keystrokes, our files, and search data. Thank you.

EDIT: Well, thanks to Kaldaie, I've learned that Denuvo, by itself, isn't the main problem. It'll probably go away after enough time's passed, but clearly the issue of data collecting goes far beyond just some crappy DRM software like Denuvo.

Well, apparently, you don't even know how vaccines work, so... yeah

Hermano, relee, relee y veras. Digo que las vacunas funcionan, me las he puesto y vivo con gente que ha sufrido covid y nunca mostre un sintoma.

Menos steam y mas magic english, que asi os va en argentina

El que no ha entendido eres tu. El hecho de que creas que las vacunas previenen contagios da cuenta de lo ignorante que eres. Lo único que previenen las vacunas es que no te mueras (y no al 100% en este caso), pero la enfermedad y los síntomas los puedes tener igual. Tienes exactamente las mismas probabilidades de contraer el virus que un no vacunado; si no te ha pasado has tenido suerte y ya.
Menos lolis y porros y más estudio, mi estimado.

why do i need drm to play something i buy on my steam account? there is no sense for it. in order to launch the game through steam i must have purchased it. i get it if it was from another site that has no way to prove you bought it and didnt share it etc... but drm on steam... what a joke

[Dissociated]

I'll never understand these companies man, their DRM doesn't work it gets cracked by a mentally unhinged person for $500 dollars all the time, they probably put way more than that into getting their product with DRM support. Seems like they buy it as a false sense of security for someone not buying their product legally, when it doesn't do anything, you can find cracks online for most modern games, why don't they just do something in which the product itself that you buy legally is the superior version? It's very hard for these companies for some reason even with SEGA to provide customer's a better experience and service then a pirates, I mean hell what they could and should do is release so many updates and extra content that you bury the person cracking your game because these communities exist on their self-entitlement and even they get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at like a regular devs for not releasing the latest version with bugs fixes, extra content, etc, that's the most annoying thing to these pirates that I've seen from within their own communities.

Yo', we heard you like DRM so we put DRM inside your DRM, wrapped within a DRM!

Remember the days of when gamers bought games that looked cool af and they thought they would enjoy it instead of worrying about if the government is spying on their porn collection? ... damn were those the days huh

Back in those days you would buy 100% of a game when you purchased it

Now you buy 50% of it, the other 50% is sold to you as MTX/DLC and Season Pass with Loot Boxes

yeah but what does that have to do with policy? they add stuff like denuvo to get statistics on what you're into. every product does now that everything is online.

It doesn't work for its apparent purpose: to stop piracy altogether, but it does work for long enough to convince pirates to buy. I was watching Red Dead Redemption 2 on Crackwatch for a long time despite having bought it at launch, out of curiosity, and you don't know how many people I saw say "ah screw it, I'm just gonna buy the game". Regardless of your opinion on DRM, it works in that it convinces people to buy it rather than wait for a crack.

I used to pirate all the time and in my opinion, a pirated version is at times slightly superior with the exemption of DRM (yes, I think exemption of DRM is only a slight benefit), and at times vastly inferior with the exclusion of multiplayer, achievements, a damn centralised platform to download it from, and bugs from it being a pirated version.

imagine not having a mere 60 bucks

DENUVO has been discussed ad nauseum, but still people are confused about what it does and why it is anti-consumer.

For those who have a hard time counting to 3 (which seems to be the majority of people defending the continued use of DENUVO)

No one would have a (big) problem with DENUVO, if publishers/developers removed it after the effective sales period (6 months - for "mega sellers" maybe a year) of a game has ended.

Not removing DRM once it has served its purpose and is no longer needed is just lazy.

Just look at Valkyria Chronicles 4. The game was released on steam 4 years ago. It is no longer selling larger numbers - which is why it is being sold at high discounts (9.99€ at the moment) .

So why on earth would you want extra DRM (on top of steam) in such a product? You think people who actually have an interest in your product are not willing to spend 10€ ?

People who are willing to download possibly buggy and virus infected, cracked games are not your average customers - the vast majority of them would never have bought the game anyway. No sales are lost in that case.

And btw. STEAM is enough of a DRM. Your average paying customer is not going to touch "cracked" steam games.

You posted in a steam 'discussion' forum thread

you could have literally done anything else in this world if you truly did not care

you, by virtue of using your time and energy to click post comment, have shown you do in fact, care.
