The only ones not important are ignorant sheep and conformist shills, who lack critical thinking skills especially about negative aspects.

There is NO online requirement for the Steam version of the game, making Denuvo impossible to use.

Cute strawman and non-sequitur, only further proves my point and proves how hurt you are by facts about your sheep/shill existence.

Learn how to use the term straw man correctly in a sentence before you use any other words you don't understand. Dude definitely been listening to his goofy dad too much. :steamsalty:

Developer/publisher protecting themselves from pirates and other never do wells = must buy.

Sorry we see it differently, but I don't trust people who don't want them protecting their product when I know damn well if the situation was reversed they would do the exact same thing.

See, money tends to do things to people they may not exactly do otherwise ... including using what I consider to be poor moral and ethical judgment. So when I see someone wanting someone else to not protect their product it usually means something not so nice.

That was a very simple reply too, no?

Except for the fact that DRM doesn't protect ♥♥♥♥, only arbitrarily can cause problems down the line for legitimate user.

This entire thing about piracy losing sales and DRM "protecting" is an ignorant fallacy. BG3, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 etc. were all cracked Day 1 and yet remain both creative success and commercial blockbusters. If anything, adding DRM to their games is a sign that the company wants to hide easy access to the product that people can check out to make informed decisions whether buying the product is worth the money or not. Because they don't want you refunding the product and having to give back the money.

The only thing DRM shills prove is their ignorance and conformist shill mentality.

Denuvo is the least of this game's problems.

They removed the Denuvo plaque on the store page just now. I don't know why it was there to begin with, but it's not there anymore.

In the recent Q&A they said this game can be played entirely offline. Not sure Denuvo even functions unless online.

Here is transcript from dev Q&A from their forums

“YOU CAN PLAY THIS GAME ENTIRELY OFFLINE, NO CONNECTION, YOU DON’T HAVE TO LINK TO YOUR EA ACCOUNTS. THAT'S BEEN A REALLY BIG REQUEST”

There won't be EA or EA launcher with this game

So will this game have DRM or not? I can't picture it being on GOG or not having DRM but I am cautiously optimistic

This is an extremely bizarre point to make. DRM is added because piracy is so prevalent, shareholders and marketing execs force this stuff into games to prevent it, Saying it's "hiding easy access" is some smooth brain level logic, they're preventing fraudulent copies from being distributed, which is their prerogative as a company.

Saying DRM doesn't protect is also factually incorrect, Denuvo is in pretty much every new game because it works, the only person that could crack it has disappeared from the internet, presumably arrested.

Saying DRM is unethical is also just some twisted level of thinking, DRM protects against digital theft, which in of itself is unethical.

I don't like DRM more than the next guy, but using the endless buzzwords you like to use, I'm not a "mindless drone", I think, observe and make logical conclusions based upon that information. Not blindly parroting out of context statements that come from sources that themselves are not reliable sources.
