oh dayum this has Denuvo?

[Powerful Holy God]

congrats on geting more than 5,000 sales, every single game that has it has to have a 100+ whine post that they cant steal the game without any consequences, if you think people are patient enough to wait for a sale in 2 months or for them to crack denuvo your mistaken

[Chadwick Strongpants]

You know what, if people weren't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trying to pirate games and other media, the devs wouldn't even be forced to use anti-piracy software like Denuvo.

You ever think about that?

Last I checked Denuvo gets cracked within 1 week of release or sooner, though there are a FEW exceptions that break that general rule.

day 1 piracy is what kills sales the most, they make the mass majority of their sales before pirates can take out denuvo im still amazed people dont even understand that yet

[Clarity]

What? Denuvo doesn't stop people from pirating. and the comment above is a huge lie.

what does denuvo actually do to the game itself? is it giving bad performance issues?
does it make games stinky?

[Atma]

or I can wait 6 months for denuvo to be removed and then buy it on a 50% off sale? it would've been a "willing to buy at full price" title, but denuvo dumped it to a "willing to buy it on a 40-50+% off sale once denuvo has been removed 6 months down the line" as square enix seem to have a policy of doing in recent times.

Nobody knows because nobody knows what exactly denuvo does in the background. Depends on the pc, but usually it degrades performance and adds some weird stuttering in some games like Persona, other games it drastically increases load times, stuff like that.

Well, you know, just wait for it to get Denuvo removed before you buy it. Show them by voting with your wallet. Other people who don't care about those things will of course get it regardless of how much people complain, but hey it's their money end of the day.

Myth, not all get cracked that fast, if ever. The way denuvo works makes the discovery of a way around it way more random than it seems at 1st glance. Myself I don't have a problem with it unless it affects performance.

And it always affects performance, so I'm always against it.

You know what, now I genuinely hope EMPRESS ♥♥♥♥ the Denuvo again, showing everyone that this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DRM isn’t gonna work. Btw, the switch rom AGAIN leaked before it’s release date lmao, they’d better fix this before trying to mess up we PC gamers experience.

Not a myth at all. the majority are cracked within 1 week or sooner.
Only a few titles take longer or remain uncracked.

[Astroooooooo]

Hogwarts was just cracked. People close to the scene believe Empress is an actual employee of Denuvo doing the work.

If a game has intrusive DRM, I either buy it on Switch or just don't bother. Personally never pirate games, but I understand the frustration with it.

Yes, Denuvo is pretty much worthless in terms of stopping piracy, but at the same time I've never really had any performance issues caused by Denuvo so idgaf if a game has it.

Yes you have. Anyone who has played a denuvo game has. This has been proven in Denuvo titles like Sonic Mania and Devil May Cry 4 which had either denuvo removed or had a denuvo-less exe leak.

That said, if your PC is good enough, you wont really notice a 7-8% FPS hit. But to pretend it doesnt exist is foolish. Fact is, Denuvo has had a ton of different iterations over the years, dating back to the days of it literally being a rootkit before a bunch of companies got sued in the EU for it, to its most modern iterations filled with constant online checks and memory lookups.

Denuvo has a pretty bad history, and I, as well as many others, wont buy games with it in on principal.. I'll pick this game up on Switch second hand, so I dont give Square money for this DRM. Besides, I have Diablo 3 Season 28 to play with friends tonight.

Shame though, because if the PC version didnt have Denuvo or Origin Launcher DRM, I'd 100% buy this on PC.

As for idiots claiming people are only mad because they cant pirate it... They do realize that this game is on the Nintendo Switch, right? That Yuzu and Ryujinx are amazing emulators and can play the game on PC almost flawlessly? Just check their reddit. Game is easy as hell to pirate. Most anti-denuvo people just dont wanna support intrusive DRM that actively degrades the quality of their games.

You know as well as I do that that is not true. Even if piracy didn't exist they still would add it as in their minds, everyone's a pirate.
