That's not how it works at all. Actual developers are paid *♥♥♥♥ all*, especially during excessive crunch periods. You've not read a single game developer article.
How so? Ever heard of a torrent? All it takes it someone buying the game on Steam to get the files (then refund the game if they want), someone removing / bypassing the "tissue paper" (Steamworks) and it can spread like wildfire.
latest torrent scene release number only 800+ seeds 4000+ leech (not sure where you get 173k download from)
Not everybody who bought the game will play it at any specific point in time, and not everybody who downloads it via torrent will play it. (Thats not counting people who do buy the game who did download the torrent.)
This just doesn't mean anything. It's like comparing the number of people who make hamburgers at home vs people who go to McDonalds for lunch. People who make hamburgers at home can still goto McDonalds for lunch, and not everybody who eats at McDonalds eats there at lunch.
If the company wants to keep denuvo for a couple months I wouldnt have a problem with it but most of the times it's going to be their for years hurting the game perfromance
lol Thats not how it works... how can people be so short sided, pls go read some more instead of playing games, ty.
To the game companies, give legit buyers more value and they will buy. I buy a game on steam for the mere fact that it downloads fast and keeping the game updated is painless. That is value.
Have you tried updating a pirated game? bruh.....it is PAIN....
Very true. Unfortunately, most game studios don't care about giving customers more value, control or anything that is seen as being pro-consumer. We're basically just husks that they want to bleed as much money from as possible.
I mean, you could say that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth not having Denuvo was a win, but then at the same time Square Enix also online DRM's the Deluxe Edition Artbook and Mini-Soundtrack where you can only view and listen using some Digital Content Viewer that you need to log into using your Steam credentials.
Why not be pro-consumer and just give those people the files so they can listen to it on their own devices and how they want?
