"I thought it was the OP who did that."
English not your first language? I don`t mean any offense but this makes it pretty clear I don`t think you pinned the comment.

I am still amazed that they thought this would be good time to drop in an pin a comment. I guess they are learning from the big boys thinking mocking the customers is a good strategy. They are too small that this wont bite them in the ass...maybe. But this is a very unprofessional move on their part. I have half a mind to post this into Reddit. You know what? I think I will. Maybe it will be picked up by some of the big boys.

sir i am the op

Tekken 7 Director Says Denuvo DRM Is Causing Performance Issues In The Game[wccftech.com]

Denuvo anti-tamper tech causes major issues to legitimate owners of Sonic Mania[www.dsogaming.com]

Warner Bros games like Injustice 2, Shadow of War and Mad Max are unplayable due to Denuvo server issues.[segmentnext.com]

Denuvo, like DRM in general, offers no benefit to legitimate game owners[www.giantbomb.com]

The main point is that Denuvo doesn't benefit the players and worst of all, it seems to affect slower systems far worse because of all the processing power it clearly uses.

Removed from my wishlist. I was really excited to jump into this but will not support the online only nonsense of Denuvo. I live in a very rural area which loses internet and power with a slight breeze. Plus I refuse to support a developer that stands behind the ignorant, childish mocking of their customer base.

I would like the Devs to pin this comment.

That is an ignorant thing to say. There is a platform that specializes in selling DRM free games, that made $350 million in profit last year. Obvisiously people actually want to buy DRM free games.

your talking about GOG right? yea i also like how they go the extra mile and mod the games a bit so they run better on modern systems not to mention how they do alot of great giveaways and the fact there are some great classic games you really cant get any where else

I remember when the conspiracy theorists claimed that GOG would never be allowed to lay their hand on games that weren't at least a decade old because the whole platform was allegedly just a giant pirate scam.

Well....look at the GOG storefront and their place in the industry now.

Been on my wishlist too and I will abstain from it. With so many playworthy games out there no one needs to play along with every publishers whims.

Besides, a week ago GOG gifted its customers the revamped Outcast: Second Contact which will be a nice treat until Christmas.

> EVERY ♥♥♥♥ing game i can see has atleast 3 "you lost a sale because you decided to mock your customers" threads on the first page of the forums. can someone tell me what it is?

>Basically its a harmless game development practice that stops non paying customer or rather aims to mock them. However tinfoil hat people are convinced that saying "just don't buy it lol" and calling you customers dumb hurts sales.

in short the type of people who cry about it are the type of people the game/community is better without. It worked brilliantly for every game that tried it, just look how successful this marketing strategy made BF5 and all other games that tried it.

That pinned comment is definitely not how I expected the devs would handle this. The desire to play the game is now gone...

Basically its a harmless software that stops piracy or rather aims to slow down piracy, however tinfoil hat people are convinced its using their $299 walmart pc to mine crypto currency or is collecting infomation on their my little pony fetish to sell to the russians :P

Bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them.

I can't trust you guys to take the issue of DRM seriously, I can't trust you guys to remove it when it becomes necessary since these people are the same people who created and abandoned SecuROM after only six years.

Lost my sale. Well done. This one was on my wish list.

[Watter]

Wow... I was super excited about this and don't generally care much about DRM, but I DO care about devs being asshats. Nice job. Just dropped it off my wishlist.

denuvo - I wanted to buy but now I do not buy. bye bye

It's not online only. You can play Denuvo protected games offline. Where do you get your information?

[VelcroSnake]

Oof, that's a really crappy thing for the Devs to do.

Saw this game for the first time this morning on a Retcon Raider playthrough video and it looked interesting, but having Denuvo dampens that enthusiasm (I don't like extra garbage running in the background affecting PC performance, as has been shown can happen with Denuvo from articles posted in this thread), and then having the Devs pin a reply seemingly made by some troll?

Yeah, not gonna bother. Honestly, even without Denuvo I wouldn't want to support Devs that would do something like that, plenty of other Developers I'd be happier to give my money to who don't validate responses like that.

You can't go anymore retarded than this. I'll be very happy when this gets cracked D-1 and pirated like hell.

I guess we know why you have a problem with Denuvo then....

It's like shoplifters campaigning for less security in shops because it makes them uncomfortable.
