Denuvo's Latest Version Resists Piracy's Attempts Entering 2018

However, if they talk about the game and praise it, they are essentially a free PR.

You're assuming games are high quality and people will praise but in reality...... COUGH COUGH. In that case DRM may prevent a shit load of unexpected criticism.
So yeah, Denuvo does make sense. /s

I'm sure it will, especially when first criticism goes to Denuvo itself making games run like a turd... People don't even come to a point where they can start criticizing the game itself when they already have to criticize Denuvo garbage...

it is a two way street. Stop paying for games with DRM.

The money they spent on Denuvo would be better spent on marketing. Getting more eyes on a game is a better long term investment than stopping players that already know about your product from playing it for free. Most people that pirate games would buy them if they could afford them. Expanding the market through marketing increases the number of pirates but it also increases the number of sales, especially when the price is at full retail.

In Ubi's case it'd be better spent on ironing out the bugs .

You make a fair point, at the same time, they don't advertise what DRM is used on the box.

And what about Steam?

You forgot to put " and fucked the performance" it the title .

No one cares. DRM is a pestilence. Literally every single older retail game I own doesn't work on Windows 10 because stupid copy protection SecuROM driver just doesn't work on the new OS. I need to use No-CD cracks on a game I legally purchased. It has been like this with literally every single major OS release. Same reason why no game made for Windows 98 worked on Windows XP. It wasn't because the game was incompatible, it was because copy protection drivers were old and not supported by OS. Denuvo is the exact same cancer. Be gone! You'll never stop pirates from doing what they do, but you absolutely piss off people who PAY for the games and then have to deal with this crap non stop. Blaming pirates for it is just stupid, pirates are just a part of software ecosystem and they aren't necessarily a bad one. As many studies have proven so far.

Unless trying to avoid having to use online services(Steam, Ubisoft, etc) why would we need executable cracks these days? Games no longer require a CD to play, which is why it was called a "CD" crack.

Denuvo and whatever Croteam use are extremely potent and do their job nicely.

Oh god, who compares DRM to gun control? Guns can only kill, that's what they do. Big difference between controling a weapon with the potential to kill people at the pull of a trigger and a fricking video game.

If America is any standard to go by, giving guns to everyone including the loonies isn't a good idea. They have like 15x the gun violence of most 3rd world countries.

um no.

DRM has no purpose other than to deny access (kill process) when conditions aren't met. Basically an intentional fatal flaw.

Sometimes I think they wait for updates to fix the game before releasing it, so the protection isn't updated. How sad is that if true lol

Read that elsewhere as well. It seems that Denuvo's new hotness is now broken and busted. What is that, less than a month?
