Denuvo unveils new tech that reinforces my zero desire to pay for ANY game that uses it.

Nobody kills a boner to buy like Denuvo

While I'm no fan of the crippleware, I don't think this product from them would effect your average gamer. It looks to be focused on beta testers and reviewers.

But, knowing the human's facility for laziness, odds on it will filter into general release.

Even when stuff eventually goes on sale, if I see Denuvo on the game it's a hard pass.

Update: it causes even more hung processes while corpo shills and fanboys argue online that Denuvo has zero negative effect to infected games which is immediately disproven or ignored by those with brains.

I don't worry, my 4090 Ti Super can handle it!

That's a fuckin keeper right there.

And it only needs 400W+! What a bargain

How long can I run that on my car battery‽

It's a game of cat and mouse again.

One leaker caught and account got banned .. Another account created.

I can't say I know anything about how they choose their beta testers, but if I were to guess, there is probably some kind of vetting process that includes looking at how reputable you are. It would take a long time to build up that reputation.

the leaker in question is about people like a qa tester or someone who got an early access review.

Publishers don't seem to understand that Denuvo is detrimental to them as much as for gamers. That crap regularly breaks games. Ask Bethesda, they should know.

[–] SuperSpecialNickname@lemmy.ml 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Their games are broken even without denuvo

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago

True, but without it, at least they just run, haha!

fighting piracy would be easier if they Develop a working and final build of the game - We are no paying full 70 usd price to be an Alpha tester

instead of 70 usd make it 50 usd more people will have a second thought when pirating with a lower price Do not include core in-game function as DLC ( New Game Plus as dlc? )
