Why have it at all? Wasn't the whole reason the gaming platforms such as Steam, Origin and Uplay came into being was because they basically told companies "enough DRM! We will be your DRM"? The anti-DRM feeling also led to the huge popularity of GOG.
So what is the purpose of a publisher implementing Denuvo despite the overwhelmingly vast numbers of law abiding purchasers not wanting it? And it's only good for 3 months? That's ridiculous!
Aren't platforms like Steam, Origin and Uplay some of the worst for managing DRM in that you can't play offline mode without being online? And that it crashes and fails often, making law abiding consumers have to suffer?
Meanwhile are there any cases of Denuvo being an obstacle for any law abiding players?
The HARD TRUTH IS
people that are going to download a Pirate Version ( for gods sake what happened to those free Game demo's that enabled you to check out weather you wanted to get the game and if it was worth buying) will wait untill a working Cracked Version is Available anyway.
That has been the truth of things ever since DRM was introduced
Dude, if I could get demos on Oculus Home, I'd be set. I'm just glad every purchase so far with Touch has been worth it. Though I am sure our luck will run out eventually.
I would say that not everyone is that way though. Certain games are simply worth paying for, especially if you see the difficulty to crack it and/or the time it's been since release and yet nothing has surfaced.
Furthermore, if you pirate everything, then you can 'afford'(I would estimate) to pay for a game once and a while.
You can't leave your house unlocked thinking that only decent people are around. Don't see the big deal with Denuvo . It does not effect the customer .
Thing is lots of the games suck. The closest thing to an educated purchase are video reviews. "The scene " mention's if you like the game buy it . Mostly that never happens . The user will exhaust the single player mode,and maybe will buy the game for the multiplayer part, if that hasn't been delivered already.
If i would be the owner of a big gaming company i would definitely make sure nobody plays my game if they don't buy it. And since they got Denuvo now, it would be nice to have a free demo to try the game first.
I always figured if 'The scene' (can't believe we now word it like it's some type of conglomerate or shadow organization) really feels that way, then they should play and legitimately review games as well as pirate them.
They won't though, because telling pirates to buy if you like, is a gesture and nothing more. IF they really felt that way about 'supporting developers' they shouldn't pirate in the first place.
The whole thing is a farce and reads straight like some paraphrase from the Communist manifesto, most likely misinterpreted by college kids enjoying some metaphysical experience on Special K, spouting some nonsense about how 'information should be free, down with censorship and copyright is inherently an evil concept.'
When in reality, they're just making some dramatic guise to cover the fact they simply want free stuff.
