69,99(9) + Denuvo + terrible performance = Avoid

Will try it after several years on sale if it's good enough. Seems like they don't know what they are doing with their game. Let them have consequence

I normally don't care about the Denuvo controversy, but with how so many new releases over the past couple years have had performance problems, it's been worrying me more and more.

Denuvo is a leech that steals both your PC performance and money while making DEVs delusional they gain something out of it. Denuvo is a hate breeding machine

Capcom has became like your typical western AAA studio: churning out half baked games with minimum effort and selling them at highest price, investing mostly in marketing and selling the "product" to blind fanboys and unknowing people. they deserve the worst at this point, financially speaking

[pikminho]

performance is really disappointing right now.

Another reason to skip it is that its made for the modern audience.

Another reason to skip it is that it won’t run on my Nintendo Alarmo.

Doesn't help that Denuvo is a known piece of a garbage for clogging up your performance when playing. One of the worst, if not THE worst, anti-pirating software out there.

And on top of that it cost the whole 100 Canadian pesos! What an outrage!

(I've pre-ordered day-1, after 600 hours in Monster Hunter World And the beta surpassed my xpectations, by a landslide)

It doesn't even work. Pirates crack and remove Denuvo within weeks, sometimes days.

Hasn't been a thing for many years, no one's cracking denuvo nowadays, pirates lost the denuvo wars

[WaifuMaxxer]

idk why they would put Denovu in a always online game, plus the hype around this game is so huge that even without Denovu people would buy this game like BG3. If they put Denuvo it would be the stupidest move ever.

It depends on the game. Game can be so bad that it's not even worth cracking. Metaphor: ReFantazio was cracked fast and uses Denuvo, for example

Metaphor was cracked because the demo contained the entire game but just restricted your access to the remainder of it, and said demo did NOT have Denuvo on it. It was literally just an oversight. Often games that do run Denuvo and get cracked months after launch get cracked because the company literally just only pays for the Denuvo license during the launch period of the game, where piracy would most greatly impact their sales.

Another common misconception is that Denuvo influences mods. Most clientside mods are literally undetectable by Denuvo let alone manageable. There are tons of Denuvo games out there with custom models and skins and outfits and all that jazz. The issue is it stops mods from interacting directly with the exe so there are a lot of more complex functions that would be stopped. Not to the extent that some people think, but it would still happen. In the topic of this game, that IS online and not solely a singleplayer game (Although it can be played that way), Denuvo probably wouldn't interfere with 99% of mods that anyone who isn't cheating or the like would use.

Now do I *like* Denuvo being on the game? Not one bit. Even if the impact isn't that noticeable in modern games because people's systems are naturally stronger, it by its very nature HAS to use up more of your computer's resources to run. Maybe not too much in the modern day, but it still does. I don't want it, it's weird and gross and tbh kind of a grift imo because to me most people who pirate a game either don't have the money to buy it or weren't planning on buying it in the first place.

TLDR: Denuvo is VERY effective at what it does these days (although not TOTALLY perfect, but EXTREMELY high success rate these days), is not as good as some people think, but not as bad as other people think either.
