COOL BEANS, but that has nothing to do with my question.
Didn't know this, where does it show if it do?
On the right side of the store page. If the game has Denuvo, it will be mentioned. See Sonic Superstars' page for an example.
Thank you
That's why it's hated. It's hated because it doesn't work.
The only anti-cheat/pirate that works is at the kernal level of PCs. Everything else is just punishing honest players.
There are a small number of people who will refuse to buy games with Denuvo, and an even smaller number who encounter technical issues that prevent them from being able to play the games they actually bought, but, at least according to the management of companies that use Denuvo, the number of people who will buy a game they can't pirate vastly outweighs the number of people who will refuse to buy it. Denuvo can get away with charging ridiculous licensing fees specifically because it's good at what it does.
But that's a completely different thing?
Denuvo is an anti-tamper mechanism that is intended to prevent piracy. Kernel-level anti-cheat software does not prevent piracy at all; it stops people from cheating in always-online multiplayer games. It's also not even completely effective because it's still possible for somebody who is really dedicated to circumvent it by making their own custom kernel-level cheating software, and I would wager it also inconveniences a lot more legitimate players than Denuvo does since Windows-based kernel-level anti-cheat software generally will not work in Linux (i.e., on a Steam Deck).
when denuvo came out it did cause problems, and had some stupid restrictions...
i haven't actually heard of or had any problems with it in a long long time. (to be exact, the ONLY time i had a problem with it was with spore, so 2008 ish)
there is a reasonable chance that some people will figure out how to create mods for the pc version, which sometimes can make a game so much better, or so worth a replay.. like challenge mods, or even complete rebalances, unofficial updates, and new characters..
so i'd definitely go for the pc version of any game even if it does have drm i don't like. (technically i'd rather not have to use steam either)
this is why i'm renaming my ps5 to paperweight 5.
