Add Denuvo to stop people pirating this.

[Karl Pilkington]

I've seen a lot of people bragging online that they are going to steal this game , more than any other in recent memory. Should use Denuvo to stop their intentions to pirate this product.

This is kind of wrong in both directions. What you're describing is how more sophisticated copy protection schemes work, but anything could be theoretically defeated, including any anti-cheat or "spyware" anti-copy.

Preventing casual copying goes a long way.

I've never noticed any performance problems from Denuvo. People blaming it are probably the same people who blame software for crashing their computer, overheating their GPU, etc.

Definitely. My computer is playing these Denuvo protected games with zero impact or issue.

I never had problems with Denuvo protected game, but it doesn't mean that those didn't exist

Personnaly, i feel like it will be unnecessary to add an Anti-piracy system such a Denuvo, since Piracy isn't a huge deal in the gaming industry, but if they does add it, well, i will still buy the game if it's good enough

Honestly while I have almost no internet issues, all DRM like that does is slightly delay the pirates a tiny bit and gives the customers an inferior copy of the game compared to the thieves, besides that if people are going to boycott it (yeah because those work out so well with gamers, when was the last successful boycott and how many times have people said they were not going to buy or play it and stuck to their guns?) then they should flat out not play it at all otherwise it is not a boycott it is just ****s being thieves, either boycott it and don't play it at all or STFU and stop pretending to have a cause because if you are still playing it despite not liking the person/company/entity it represents then you must not be all that against them, that is like going "Man McDonalds has the most vial disgusting food that just makes me want to vomit" and then turning around and stealing all their big Macs to eat, by consuming the product you are just proving you don't truly believe your own cause.

At the end of the day if it has DRM, fine whatever, if it does great awesome, but DRMs do not stop piracy or dent it in any ways all it does is make it take longer to crack which in turn gets more day one sales from lazy people which helps the company keep investors interest, if people are going to steal they are going to steal DRM at the end of the day only makes sense for maybe the first month or two when that few weeks delay allows the company to show investors that it is worth it for the investors to spend more money on the next game, but after that point then all it does is give those who stole it a better experience then those who are customers. DRM has a function, but it is a very limited function.

How much were you paid to make this topic? What a jester you are.
Also it has been proven many times over that a pirated copy was never going to be a lost sale, the vast majority of people that pirates any video games, was never going to buy it if they couldn't pirate it, they would just skip it altogether. Games such as the witcher 3, elden ring and a bunch of others sold perfectly fine, even without any intrusive anti consumer cancer drm. Are you paid for this, or are you just a brainwashed and delusional pretending to be a critical thinking individual? , for your sake, i hope it's atleast the first and not the latter.

Well that was a study from 2017. In 2023, things are a bit different. At least in this case which is a somewhat unique situation. The pirates are doing it out of principle, not because of monetary issues.

Some might, but i'm pretty sure that the crowd that want to pirate the game because of their ideological nonsense won't be able to follow basic tutorial and won't have enough patience to do it

Their objection is over financially supporting the game, not the game's difficulty. Also games like this are designed to be very casual user friendly. Any tutorials will consider people who don't play games on a regular basis, but are interested in playing because they liked the books/movies.

I wasn't talking about in game tutorial, but about internet tutorial on "How to priate Blank game"

Some sort of always online DRM would be good.

no i don't want another outriders that i cant play when my internet is down

[[{******---Dead4Life---******}]]

+ 1 We need always online DRM so the company can do Hogwart's Legacy 2 and people don't pirate.

Make a good game, that's finished on released, no day one BS patch to fix the game so it's barely playable and don't insult your customers.

If they did that then people who pirate the game might actually buy it.
Gaben had it right when he said piracy is a service problem.

I'm pretty sure those that are "going to pirate out of principle" are the same people that said they were going to storm Area 51 that one year. We seen how many people said they were going to do it (what was it... 2 million "going", 1.5 million "interested"?), and when the day came there was only like... about 1,500 people that showed up for a music festival or two nearby and only about 10% of them actually dared to get near the base, with some taking selfies at the gate. Only 1 of them made an actual attempt to enter the base, while 6 more were arrested for lesser reasons like indecent exposure.

People are loud and bark a LOT, only a rare few of them will actually bite.
The user experience should not be lessened all because 10 out of 10,000 people are planning to do a crime with only 1 out of 10 actually committing to it.

Denuvo is garbage. No.

By the way denuvo is middle finger for paying customers.

That's pain, can't hold it against the devs if it's WBs decision too..

We seriously have people here pushing for Denuvo and always online DRM? That's disgusting. I barely recognize PC gaming anymore. What a dark, dark time.

Denuvo isn't always online and while not preferable I find it perfectly understandable considering there's public support and a big push advocating the theft of this game.

after reading all this makes me wish for a nuclear winter
