Guess it's another fantastic title that I'll have to wait on Denuvo Remuvo to occur.

Such a shame, but I refuse to buy the inferior version while pirates get the superior running version for free.

So you don't pay your way through life is that it. Pull your own weight fellow. I myself don't care what thiefs do . I give an honest price for an honest product. And the versions are exactly the same by the way. That just sounds like an excuse to justify stealing it to me.

Yeah, if Denuvo is affecting your performance for a game like this, it may be wiser to put that money into an upgrade. You're logging onto steam just to play these games in the first place.

Thats for sire my CPU runs at 30% and my GPU at 50% even running the game at 85 FPS.

It's funny when people say this considering that the list of games with Denuvo that have been cracked in the last 4 years is tiny compared to the list of games that haven't been. In fact, as far as I'm aware, no games with Denuvo released in 2024 have been cracked yet.

i wouldnt hold your breath - most SE games dont get it removed

Visions of Mana Dev Basically Shut Down. DOA.

I'll still take it over SecuROM or StarForce, and that ain't saying much

So customers have to pay extra for companies using a taxing way to prevent piracy that barely affects their sales. No matter the hardware, it will run poorer because of DRM.

If you cant be bothered to check my profile before making such an obviously erroneous assertion, then you aren't the one I came here to discuss this with. Needless to say, you couldn't be further from correct.

I see you understand. We pay for DRM on top of DRM, potential license preservation issues (which are fairly common with older DRM methods), potential (severe) security issues (see older DRM as well as a couple of more contemporary DRM), and lesser performance for no discernible reason. Since Denuvo is not free, and the publisher does pay for it... I'm simply stating that I refuse to pay for extra DRM, that provides me NO benefit and DOES work to my detriment. I also agree with your assertion that it is completely unnecessary in most cases, and only serves to over represent the problem while punishing only paying customers.

Meanwhile, those that do steal the game, are getting the better performing version in most cases, regardless of level of performance improvement, paying customers are still getting an inferior product.

I'm only expressing my disappointment and respectfully saying, no thank you. Not until things change.
