No Denuvo VIRUS/TROJAN/MALWARE?

[MichaelRebirth]

If yes, pre-order now...

Denuvo actually is built into games and doesn't exist beyond that, meaning it's not a virus or Trojan, or even malware like a version of SecuRom was.

That said, nice if they aren't using it.

if its lowering framerate, spying running background task, make the game micro stutter, just count them as virus/trojan/malware cause we dont need them! gamer just want to play as smooth as the hardware allows it! lol

No background task. Facts matter.

Either way no third party DRM notification on the store page, unless I'm missing it, is a good sign.

bro thank you for putting the words VIRUS/TROJAN/MALWARE in all caps, I wouldn't have paid attention to the issue if you hadn't done this and now I'm more than ever aware of the fact that Denuvo is bad

True, It's insane how many people believe it does anything but act as DRM.

I wouldn't count it out. They added it on Dragon Quest III a while after the preorders were open.

I would assume it won’t have denovu simply due to the fact that it’s 30% off pre order. Get all the people buying it official now as opposed to pirating it

Denuvo will only appear once the game released. Happens to other games, too.

Square Enix is generally good about listing Denuvo before a game releases. There have been a couple of missteps, but they're usually one of the better ones, at least as far as advance warning goes. I'm hoping they don't sneak it into Rebirth, but considering that Remake and Crisis Core lacked it, I think we might be good here.

Please stop spreading misinformation. Denuvo isn't a virus or other malware.

It's not malware in fact the only times it has affected performance in any meaningful way is when publishers put their own drm on top of it like RE Village.

Performance isn't the issue with Denuvo. Forcing you to ask permission to play what you've paid for and sometimes being told "no" is the problem.

I am hoping it wont have Denuvo.

One can only hope.

True, but this doesn't make it malware.
