Does Director's Cut ship with Denuvo again?

Yes or no?
EULA does not speak of it. But I want to be sure first.
If yes, I will have to wait again for years... but I won't ever install this beautiful DRM measure again.

You do know that the game would have run the same for you regardless of Denuvo right? Do you know why you have to be told its in there? Because its so inconsequential you can't tell. It effects the game so little you can't even see a hint of it.

You're literally letting nothing stop you from playing games you want to play. Stop being a drone and letting things like DRM dictate what you can and can't do.

imagine deciding to buy a game on drm or not.............

What do you have against Denuvo? Denuvo prevent entitled commies from pirating the game. Here in Brazil we all love Denuvo, we are team Bolsonaro, deal with it SJW snowflake

Don't bother arguing, no winning with the Anti-Denuvo crowd. If they want to miss out on a great game then that's their loss.

Sounds like a great thing to decide actually because you don't know months or years later if the game will be unplayable thanks to the DRM

Guys. I'm old. I have seen many problematic DRM systems over time
and I consider this a part of the game.
I don't like Starforce and I don't like Denuvo. Didn't like the old SecuROM either.
If you put corn on my delicious pizza, don't ask why I'm not going to eat it.
It's just my taste. Doesn't have to be yours. ;-)

People are complaining about Denuvo, not for hypothetical problems that may happen in an undetermined future, or because of what happened with DRMs past, but for the actual issues it causes right now: For instance here it is derping out in front of a 60k audience.[clips.twitch.tv]

You can have the best computer and the most stable connection, you can't do anything about Denuvo if the problem is on their side. I used to not care too but a customer's trust is hard won and easily lost. It only needs to lock them out once to make a player fervently anti-Denuvo. In return for the resources and time the developer has to waste on its implementation, you get unplayable games, performance issues and incompatibilities.

Denuvo has failed to demonstrate their claim it improves the sales of a game and is barely even used anymore. It seems to ruffle the feathers of a few individuals for some reason...

Go complain on a game that actually has denuvo.

This doesn't.

I know. I'm not the one who brought the topic though so would you calm down a bit? I'm only replying to people in this discussion trying very hard to convince others that Denuvo never has issues, again for some unfathomable reason.

Not caring is perfectly fine - going out of their way to defend it in the forum of a game which doesn't even use it... well, It's not logical. From there, it does not take a lot to assume they're interested parties and not actual consumers.

I've yet to have any issue with Denuvo preventing me from playing a game, so I'm seriously lucky or other people are talking Denuvo down in the hopes that game developers will stop using it.

Denuvo provably reduces performance. There's no reason to keep it in the game once it gets cracked.

It's a little surprising people would want to pirate Death Stranding to begin with because a huge aspect of the game is its multiplayer and it's already a less enjoyable experience if you play without it.
