game has Denuvo DRM

[Timo654]

good job SEGA....

Proof: https://support.codefusion.technology/SonicMania_8ahn2e/ (this is the denuvo support page used for all denuvo games, NOT SEGA's support thing)

EDIT: Game also has online-only DRM on top of Denuvo.. (apparently a "bug")
EDIT2: Game works offline now after a 40mb patch.

Denuvo has literally nothing to do with mods.

Denuvo doesn't stop modding. Quit this false rumour

This game is a trash in my Steam library. I have gained this game for free due to a Nuuvem delaying to give me the Galaxy of Pen and Paper Steam Key, which couldn't give me a refund.

Don't forget to leave a negative review before you refund, guys

Ah, I guess won't be buying it then, a shame.

....and there is the reason for the 2 week delay. They saw just how many pre order sales they were getting and though "you know what, this game is going to be popular, let's make sure people can't pirate it quite as quickly."

I'm already regretting getting it from bundle stars now. Can't refund it.

I hope a lot of people that bought this through steam refund it just because they said it wasn't delayed to add Denuvo. They basically lied to their fan base.

Hate to be right and it's a shame that this game was a gift. Would be great if I could refund it.

[ElOhTeeBee]

Now I'm glad I didn't preorder. Maybe when it hits the bargain bin.

What a joke sega, just when they look like there getting good again, they f**k up

I think you can refund a gift if it was through steam, the money goes back to the account of the person who gifted it though.

At least that's what I remember, it was a while ago I tried.

I have been a staunch Sega fan for more than 20 years. Still own my Mega Drive and 4 Sonic games. And today I found out that SEGA lied to us about "optimizing" and made PC owners endure 2 weeks of waiting just so that they can put in a DRM that the entire world hates. I was so close to pushing that buy button too. SEGA, Whitehead or whoever is responsible for this. You have officially killed Sonic for me. GG
