What are you even on about? Literally not a single one of those torrent downloaders would have brought the game otherwise, there are zero sales lost because of that. Also there are almost triple the amount of day one players on the Rebirth's port compared to Remake Intergrade's port, leaving out denuvo has completely destroyed Remakes all time 24 hour peak.

How is square enix going to be disappointed with that? They don't do these PC ports to make money, they do them to gain standing in their brand. The PC port is literally an advertisement thats cost them relatively nothing, which is intended to get customers who are on the fence or outside of console gaming to buy the next console release.

Well, I for one bought this game because it has no Denuvo but didn't buy FF16, so go suck a duck or something. Oh well, it's ragebait anyways. Thanks Steam reactions.

Why FF 16 its still under denuvo ?

Well nobody in the comments can act holy at all because during some point in y’all‘s life, you’ve either had a gain secondhand without paying for it downloaded ROMs for emulators or find some way to get games and play games for free where you were a young, teenager or an adult. At some point, we’ve all went through a stage of policy so nobody in this ♥♥♥♥ can act holy

Have you ever found out why other games that don't use Denuvo sell well, like Elden ring, Palworld, CP2077, Witcher 3, and many other games and indie games?

Have you ever found out why SE games that use Denuvo don't sell well, the latest is FF16.

If you can't find a reason, don't post something stupid like this. PS boiiii

Agree. The argument that without torrent the people who downloaded there would be forced to buy the game is just wishful thinking. Maybe a small percentage will but the majority of them will never pay for it to begin with.

Remake was out on Epic for a year before it launched on Steam so many people had already played it, I never bought Remake on Steam until the double pack launched with Rebirth.

You can agree all you want, I have actual physical evidence to the latter.

1. Those who pirate games are just harming other people, people who make games need capital, energy and thoughts, and their goal in working is to support their families, at least we appreciate them, the game makers, without them we can't do anything, and they also need capital to develop a game....so the point is that piracy is illegal

2. Someone who plays pirated games, they can't appreciate the games they get, they last there for at most 1 week, unlike us who buy with our own money and appreciate the game by playing it many times until it's finished or until we get all the trophies

Nobody talks about this game. I hope they very well realize that if you miss the hype window your game will sell like a decent indie game.

Unquenchable corporate greed is what destroys this hobby. No Dead Space 4, no Days Gone 2 and so on and so forth.

I don't think many of the large game companies realize just how much hate they generate by including extra malware DRM like Denuvo in their software and then bake the DRM fees into the cost so YOU'RE paying for their paranoia and unquenchable money addiction. To me, that's certainly stealing by installing client-side malware which serves no purpose in game optimization and locks you out of the game if the internet is down. Try running any game today with TAGES DRM. It's not possible without questionable circumvention.

Stealing from consumers with extra DRM costs and projecting thievery onto the entire public is an unprofessional, deceptive move and you need older, wiser eyes to see the corporate level stealing masquerading as victimization.

The old piracy argument is the worlds easiest, safest, and sleaziest scapegoat.

[Kokiden]

Is there a source for this?

[Bad_Conduct]

itt; broke people try to justify not buying the game.

[YuLY]

Who cares, I'll never forgive them for what they did to Deus Ex. Hope they go bankrupt.
