Wait, this game has DRM?

[Tatsuya]

I just heard the game has some form of DRM that isn't steam, anyone mind telling me what it is?
Already regretting my purchase and i got the game for free because of zestiria.

VMProtect

Puts a new exe every session into your root C:, folder named TL

Thanks, uninstalling and not reinstalling unless they remove it, pretty much guarantees i won't buy beseria until i know if it has drm or not either.

Yep, it's called lazyconsoleport.exe

I hate these developers' attempts to screw up the software pirates. Most of the time it hurts their customers more than the pirates.

It also hurts bamco, because like i said, any chance of me preordering beseria when it comes to the US is 0, i can't stand DRM, no matter what form it takes, and since i can't trust bamco to release a 20$ budget title without drm, i'm certainly not going to trust them to release a 50$ title without it.

Funny to see someone complaining about this on Steam, which is itself a form of DRM which precious few games don't use.

except Steam doesn't encrypt games or run the games on virtual system like this game.

I tolerate steam, doesn't mean i like it ( i usually buy games from gog if i have a choice due to their no DRM policy), steam as much of a drm as it is, doesn't do odd things to my hardware.

And? DRM is DRM. He didn't say he couldn't stand specific types of DRM, he said he couldn't stand DRM at all.

I am shocked people seem to kind of expect games to come without DRM these days, considering that a very significant portion of them do. It isn't something that will be going away soon, after all.

Most DRM doesn't do odd things to your hardware, either... the ones that did kind of, you know, died out. Because it pissed people off.

I don't mind DRMs as long as they're not super invasive and actually give you something more (like achievement for Steam)

This is just ridiculous. I was going to buy the game a second time. Well nope.

Namco it's either you remove that crap or you're gonna lose customers.

Oh irony, I thought protecting a game was done to make people buy games instead of pirating it... hm...

[Grad]

I got this game when I bought Zesteria but I haven't played this yet. Why did they suddenly implement that kind of safeguard if it can even be called that?

Realistically, DRM is simply done to prevent piracy and, if possible, increase sales. Though the increasing sales is kind of a by product of making it the only viable option of obtaining the game.

VMProtect writes to your HDD every time you boot the game, it may be minor but anyone with an SSD knows that every write to your drive is slowly killing it, yes VMProtect is harmful, though how much so is very debatable.

Denuvo on the other hand, no, i refuse to buy a game with denuvo, the new deus ex game is a good example of a game that i want to play, but refuse to because of DRM, just cause 3 as well.

Yes steam is DRM, but it's still noninvasive DRM, we know what steam does so while i dislike DRM in general, it's still not something like denuvo, VMProtect or starforce.
