DRM is never for the benefit of the consumers.

Bro, I’ve got like 25 hours in the Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster, on my Steam Deck and laptop.
Yesterday, an update caused the game to launch with a black screen. So I tried a few different Proton versions, before I start getting a new error.
I take a look at the discussion board for the game on Steam… Fucking Denuvo considers each version of Proton to be a separate “activation” and it will only allow five BEFORE LOCKING YOU OUT OF THE GAME FOR 24 HOURS.
I have never really given a shit about Denuvo before, but this is so fucking infuriating. I paid for this game. I’ve already played 25 hours of this game. Now I can’t fucking play it?
Unbelievable. Denuvo is fucking trash, and I guess now I’m on it those people who avoids it.

Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster has fucking denuvo in it? What the fuck? Does it have multiplayer or something?

Thanks for the heads up, was going to get that for my wife to try. I’ll just spin up the ISO instead.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
The game itself is outstanding (but I may be biased since the original is one of my favorite games of all time)
Jaysyn@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I agree. Said ISO is an image of the disc which is safely in its case :D.

Ahhh ok.
Worth checking out the remaster, even if you pirate it. Tons of qol improvements, and pretty good VA

Happened with the new DOOM too. I just wait for AAA games to remove DRM as a precaution.

I guess you were testing with multiple versions of Proton to see which one works the best? Otherwise, doesn’t make sense to have changed 5 versions in 25 hours.
If you were testing as such, the game publishers should be paying you for doing their job of quality testing.

I don’t think anyone read your last sentence lmao
ulterno@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
Maybe they did and didn’t like that I used the technically incorrect term “quality testing”, instead of “performance testing”, which would be appropriate for this case.
