Hey S.E., wanna mitigate the damage from zero day crack? REMOVE DENUVO

[The Who]

I hope whoever's in charge of this board can kindly pass it up to your superiors.

Probably you already know by now, but 3DM has already cracked the game. Pirates can practically play the game already before legit buyers AS OF THIS MESSAGE, and they are only being slowed down by the huge file size downloads. The avalanche has begun and your company won't be the only one to suffer; what remains of your buyers who haven't yet requested refund because of that DENUVO♥♥♥♥♥♥you slipped in and lied about not doing it will feel screwed knowing the pirates have a superior version in their hands.

This game has already been through a lot of bad rep due to its unfinished and rushed development, while having♥♥♥♥♥♥story.

Now it seems your superiors and executives want to ♥♥♥♥ this up even harder by putting DENUVO into your game. That's a♥♥♥♥♥♥move.

You won't be able to recover ALL of the lost sales by removing DENUVO, but you can at least prevent the sales figures from bleeding, as well as recovering a substantial amount from people who will buy the game just to support companies that don't use DENUVO.

TL;DR: REMOVE DENUVO NOW, OR ENJOY YOUR FAILED SALES FIGURES IN THE NEXT EARNINGS CALL MEETING. TELL YOUR EXECUTIVES TO LUBE THEIR ASSES WELL BEFORE GETTING THEMSELVES ♥♥♥♥ED IN THE♥♥♥♥♥BY INVESTORS FOR CHOOSING TO PUT DENUVO IN THIS GAME.

お前らの上司にこれを伝わってくれ

このゲームは今もう３ＤＭにクラックしたんだよ。　

「DENUVOはいやっ！」っと何度でも言ったのになぜ俺たちに構わずいれたんだよ？これじゃ俺ら金を払った人たちがパイレート共にくらべてまるで下等な役を買ったんだよ。パイレート共がプレイしたいならインターネットの必要なくプレイ出来るよ。俺ら金を払う人々が逆に犯罪者のあつかいさせた気で、ただの馬鹿なファン

ならば金を払ってこのゲームを買う価値はなんだよ？　開発も完成してないで、この程度？　それじゃ意味ねえよ。　パイレートになっても仕方ないよ。　お前らがDENUVOがいれたからだ

だからDENUVOはよせ。　DENUVOを入る意味がもうないんだ。　今更DENUVOが入れてもパイレート共には無駄な事だ

つくなくとも金を払う俺らの話を聞けよ！　DENUVOを捨てろ！！

Man, didn´t you see the hundreds of other threads with a denuvo topic? Prefer one of these threads and be happy. There´s no need for a new one....

but they have plenty of alt accounts they need to use still!
plus the thrill of openly talking about piracy within a drm network.

I included this message to them with a more strongly worded Japanese version in case they didn't get the memo.

I'll also probably message directly to their JP Twitter account later on.

♥♥♥♥ you, man. Not every account here are sockpuppets. There's no fun in trolling this way if I wanted. If I want to troll, I would do like you do and create threads about DENUVO being necessary instead and that everyone who complained are either sockpuppets or entitled ♥♥♥♥♥.

But I'm genuinely pissed that SE is treating us this way. Let's not forget that this is already on top of the game itself being an unfinished, rushed piece of ♥♥♥♥. Just because they covered it in shiny new wrapper(better PC graphics) to play doesn't mean it's less of a ♥♥♥♥.

[神様ですか？]

did the JP official twitter reply to you?

[Cypherous]

You think the board of directors will read this and even more amusingly you think they will care? :P

They will still sell enough copies of the PC game, at the end of the day, they ported a game so its pretty easy money for them, they didn't have to develop the game for PC from scratch, these lost sales aren't going to make a dent and will already be accounted for

[Merciful]

Wow now I want my money back.

Oh hey wait. Since I already bought the game, am I actually legit allowed to torrent it?

OP, you should also voice your concern on Square Enix's official account pages like Twitter / Facebook and the likes. Maybe also email then directly too. I did all three of them explaining this whole situation and requested removal of denuvo.

A brother posted on my behalf, but they haven't replied.

I basically told them to 'stop treating paying customers like criminals'.

Probably have to wait until office hours resume on Monday to get any sort of chance of a response.

If they don't do something about this, fine by me. IT WON'T BE MY LOSS, I can tell you that.

The last time I whined to them via the JP account about Nier Automata not making it into my region, they relented and I bought the game. For this game? That depends on whether they give a ♥♥♥♥ or not.

Good. We'll at least have to make a collective effort and make our voices known to the right places. If they listen and respond then awsm. If not, then just vote with our wallets and hit them where it hurts.

The minority annoyed with denuvo won't make a big enough dent to matter, i mean you do realise this right?

This ♥♥♥♥ wouldn't be that big of a deal if they didn't mislead us first into thinking it doesnt have denuvo.

But they did.

They sold a lot of copies from goodwill alone. If they wanna keep their sales figures, they better uphold that goodwill.

Never underestimate the power of consumer and their rights. It only takes one voice speaking up against an anti-consumer act for a spark to start. One becomes ten, ten becomes hundred and so on. Every single voice counts. If you look over, a lot of people are genuinely angry with Square Enix on various sites for this shady stealthy implementation of denuvo DRM. Historically, we consumers have fought against many many anti-consumer practices in the past. This denuvo DRM is no exception.

Did they ever state it would NOT have denuvo?

Because unless they flat out came out and said they would never add it they never mislead anyone, you just incorrectly ASSUMED something to be true that wasn't

And as they say, "Assumption is the mother of all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥"

[Hardcore ಥ_ಥ]

anyone else always suprised how much shorter those japanese texts are compared to ours?

also apparently in the cracked version you cant play dlc content. so they wont remove it.
