Anti denuvo petition

[GoodnessGracious]

Anyone up for a mass refund claim, unless they remove denuvo?

It won't stop pirating, as denuvo has been hacked everytime, and all it does is cause performance issues for legit buyers.

Just request a refund, and you can type the message in at the end of the refund form. Don't waste time with a petition, if they see you still buy the game, still keep your pre-order, but just complain about Denuvo? They won't care. They care about money. Remove your money.

If Denuvo causes obvious performance and connection issue on release. then yes I would also refund.

But I have learned that Denuvo is activated on the Alpha and Beta and we have no problems with performance or connection with the Beta.
So if that trend continues on release, then we really dont care if Denuvo is present or not. As long as it does not hinder the gaming experience.

Nah I will stick it out. If it causes issues they will fix it just like Resident Evil: Village did. This ♥♥♥♥ wouldn't have happened though if all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the forums didn't say they were just going to pirate it on launch...just saying.

Im not gonna do that since most games that use it doesnt really much issues. Just look at Doom Eternal, Steep, Farcry 5, CodeVein. I think people are just panicking for no reason. Let the game come out first and then see. Until then, nah.

Ahh yes pirate an always online game. At worse they would be able to play singleplayer by themselves but I doubt many people are buying this game to play by themselves. Instead paying customers get screwed over and tow the made up line that its hurting the pirates instead.

Denuvo sucks, but game devs are going to keep using it. Its already in alot of the games we play here on steam.

Just keep in mind denuvo is ment to stop crackers from cracking their games. There is a list of cracked games under denuvo protection but theres a longer list of games that havent gotten cracked.

you don't need to do a refund petition, it's in pre-order meaning you can cancel at anytime before the game comes out, infact you can't be denied your "refund" because it's not a refund it's simply no longer agreeing to buy a game before it comes out

Performance issues are typically caused by custom checks that are added on top of Denuvo and not Denuvo itself. A recent example is Resident Evil 8, yes the cracked version improves performance but so does the public mod that maintains Denuvo, so is Denuvo the cause of performance issues? no?

Imagine if Cyberpunk 2077 had Denuvo, everyone would blame Denuvo for the game having issues even when it wasn't the root of the cause.

I'm no Denuvo advocate but in most cases Denuvo is used as a scapegoat.

I am not happy about denuvo but if they can offer same perf as in beta i dont care. And yes paying customers are preferable

[Z34RK]

if you pirate a game and complain about the performance, the argument is already the stupidest thing i ever heard, just don't pirate the game, plus nothing it's completely safe from hackers if their committed enough to hack a game, just get the game or don't and if you don't like it, then refund, if your worried about money expenses then wait, or if you know your gonna dump hours in the game then buy it, Alpha testing and Beta testing are meant to explore and exploit issues in the game so it can be discovered and fixed, no ♥♥♥♥ people find problems in a pre-release state of the game, that's the point

It's not Rocket Science, know the process of how games are made and perfected, and the appreciation for it will increase

people are saying that the beta, even the alpha, has denuvo. So yeah if it does not mess with the performance and connections, then no problem.

The point is they chose a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ solution for their anti-piracy measures that is known to cause performance issues for everyone not just restricted to those who crack the game.

It's not rocket science how this all works, though clearly from your current understanding it is far beyond you.

Maybe don't chime in on IT ♥♥♥♥ when you don't know tech.

People aren't complaining about a pirated game having performance issues. They're complaining about how DENUVO is being added, which has a reputation for resource hogging like the fattest hog you could ever imagine.
It's not rocket science.

I keep hearing conflicting info about this. Some say it was there during the beta, some say it wasn't. Never heard about it being in the Alpha tho.

[psyche]

the only people that concern about denuvo is obviously a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pirate
