Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

hard no for me. it is retarded for a product you buy to dictate how you use it

Is there a way to tell if a game is using this crap?

EDIT 3: Another auto-updated list of games to avoid that use Denuvo

EDIT: found this list, will leave it here in case someone needs it. (REPORTED TO BE OUTDATED)

EDIT 2: also as they pointed out in the comments (for Steam users) this list is more updated, and if you follow it, it shows you if a game uses denuvo or not when you are browsing a game's store page.

Gamer 1: Dude, if you preorder the collectors digital bundle, you get Denuvo+ for free.

Gamer 2: you know I preorder everything, but it doesn’t matter. I have denuvo ultra+. That way I have denuvo on games that do not normally have it.

Ad: A nerd walks up to his waifu pillow and asks, “you want the D don’t you?” Then you hear him speaking to himself in a high pitch voice pretending to be the waifu, “Please Senpai, I NEED the D right now!” Then he put a denuvo patch on the pillow.

Saw a propaganda piece like that a few days ago on Ars Technica. The comments there were pretty much the same as here, "Ah yes, the classic non-answer of saying BS until the person forgets what they asked", in regards to them ignoring the many games' sudden CPU spikes and frame drops caused by denuvo

Hopefully they leak the denuvoless exe

Getting in the way of even launching the game is pretty much the biggest performance hit a game can play. So unless they start testing that aspect of ensuring people don't run into issues of expired licenses when playing offline or running into activation limitations doing something like switching proton versions the testing is flawed from the get go and obviously biased.

I honestly don't even care. Denuvo is still cancer and I'm not gonna pay for games with that crap. Even if denuvo would make the game run 10% better.

Denuvo is being hurt bad the bad PR enough to launch a full on propaganda war.

Uh...they've been doing this since Dragon Age Inquisition. Hardly anything new, or a sign that they're "hurting".

I'm a liberterin, and it's prime time the tech industry got the hammer. We have no consumer protections and since most are sold globally, its a complete waste of time to boycott, ubisoft is still around. Prime time for some consumer protections and major regulation. For starters, after 5 years, complete source code with engine and editor(everything needed to build the game or the software, doesn't have to be a game, and modify it) should be released. gradiuty for lifetime artwork be screwed And drm or anything similiar should be completly outlawed along with software licenses. YOU BUY IT YOU OWN IT, WHICH MEANS YOU GOT SOURCE CODE ACCESS if they can't make a profit off that, then their product was garbage. Most games are sold as in an early alpha state, lets make them go bust

Sounds like your getting mad about something that hasn't happened yet. Sure a few "journalists" will make fluff pieces, but there are plenty of tech reviewers I trust to actually put that shit to the test.
