Why use Denuvo or any other DRM?

[LUIGI MALATESTA]

Why so much anticheat on a single player campaign? I would have bought it for 12 dollars here, but i cant bc i dont want to install that stuff.

I was planning on finally picking this up, now i probably wont. Thanks for the heads up.

What a silly argument, only AAA studios use Denuvo, and recently that is not much of a loss.

Denuvo's supposed to be anti-tamper (not really anti-cheat—that's a little different), but it doesn't seem like it works as advertised when day-1 bypasses pop up so frequently. It's almost like companies who use Denuvo are getting ripped off, but some execs, I guess, drank Denuvo Kool-Aid or something.

I don't have performance issues with Denuvo and I can't reference about people who claim they do, but that's not the point. The question is "Why Denuvo?"

Why Denuvo when it's just a waste of money for the publishers (and possibly passed onto buyers, though probably by negligible amounts that wouldn't result in a price reduction but, rather, profit going elsewhere instead)?

I'll buy Denuvo games as it's not a big deal, but I still wonder why publishers keep letting themselves get ripped off instead of getting income.

Denuvo seems to sway a small and loud minority of people away from legitimate purchasing (resulting in a no-play or in a pirated-play). For pretty much everyone else, it doesn't seem to do much.

Excepting that small but loud minority: People who'll buy will buy. People who won't buy but still play won't buy but still play. People who are on the fence will still make a decision as they would've anyway.

Again, Denuvo pretty much does nothing regarding purchases.

So, why Denuvo? It feels more and more like a scam against publishers.

Well, since so many publishers "waste" their money, there must be a reason, no? They can't be just that stupid?
