Denuvo still present?
Hey guys

Is Denuvo still present on this game? I'd like to download it but I'm very much against DRM. I didn't download it since I re-installed Windows.

Cheers

Maybe you should delete your steam account considering Steam = DRM.

I should probably rephrase that.

I'm against aggressive DRM practices.

Maybe you should remove the tinfoil hat because there is 0 proof that Denuvo harms your pc in any shape or form. It merely prevents people from editing the .exe of the game. It is in no shape or form any different than a 3rd party software like Punkbuster.

Maybe you should start taking reading and interpretation classes because nowhere in my message did I say it harms the computer. You should read about how some forms of DRM are "aggressive" in a sense that paying customers are punished while pirates still enjoy the game without CPU overhead, or even being able to play some always-online games while they're offline.

I do have my complaints and my views about aggressive DRM software, but I feel it's not necesary to get into them here because it's just a waste of time, as big as this discussion we're having, to be honest. I came for a simple "yes" or "no" answer, not to discuss DRM in particular.

And AFAIK, PunkBuster is not DRM, it's an anti-cheat program, of which I also don't install. The only Anti-Cheat I allow is VAC.
