It’s not always about the performance impact…DRM has been known to restrict and prevent legitimate gamers from playing the games meanwhile those that sail the high seas ignore the useless DRM and continue to play.
I had a CD-burner that was wrecked by DRM, back when they were expensive.
preventing legitimate gamers from playing a game they bought in anyway is inexcusable to me. I dont even want to sign into your “social club” or download another launcher. If i have to put in one more address and password than necessary I’m much more likely to get an illegitimate copy.
There’s so many games I haven’t bought simply because they used/ implemented Denuvo. I see Denuvo and it’s an instant lost sale/nonbuy.
Yup, I was going to grab Like a Dragon last week but saw Denuvo on the sidebar & quickly changed my mind.
In our chat, Huin implied that this kind of public analysis was not very useful because “gamers [almost] never get access to the same version of [a game] protected and unprotected. There might be over the lifetime of the game a protected and unprotected version, but these are not comparable because these are different builds over six months, many bug fixes, etc., which could make it better or worse.”
So they are literally trying to say that Denuvo isn’t the cause of performance slowdowns, because patches to the game since the version that got cracked made the game that much slower?
Denuvo is a cancer on the gaming world, full stop.
