  Go back to the Steam forums where you belong, bootlicker.

    Person disagrees with your point:

    You: “bOoTliCkEr!”

      Except when people provide you with evidence and reasoning you just go “lmao” and leave it at that too.

        I laugh at shit I find funny. If that makes someone a bootlicker, I hope for your sake that you have no sense of humor whatsoever.

  Show me the data that proves piracy actually causes a tangible loss for the developer for DRM to actually be needed.

  • Rhoeri@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Lmao…. Show you the data that would otherwise be impossible to show you?

    There is no tangible way to prove who would or wouldn’t buy a thing if the parameters were different other than polling them.

    And how exactly do you think polling dishonest people will turn out?

      Why is pirating inherently dishonest in your opinion?

  The developers have a lot of choices in their approach to piracy and they chose a company that makes performance killing restraints that runs concurrent to the software causing poor performance. The game could be fun and run well but it is saddled by the poor business choices of the developer.

  Denuvo adds an obscene amount of checks to the executable, which manifests as an increased CPU load (compare Assassin’s Creed Origins with and without it) and poorer performance. It also restricts the game’s availability to legitimate paying customers if there’s any issue with the “is this a new installation” detector.

    Would be pirates are never going to pay for it

    No loss.

      You… either completely missed or completely ignored the point. The point being that, in order to attack the pirates who wouldn’t have bought the game anyway, regular paying users are getting screwed over by a significant performance hit.

  Yes I do because they actively chose to make their game shittier for people who purchase legitimate copies. You think pirates are going to pay for this shit? They were never going to pay to begin with, what makes you think they’re going to pay for it now?

  source

  • Rhoeri@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    They’re not. And now they do get to play it for free either.

    Win-win.

    • Don_alForno@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Who exactly “wins” anything here?

      The dev pay for denuvo licenses an doesn’t gain enough sales to make up for it - lose.

      The pirate waits longer to play the game - lose.

      The paying customer gets an inferior product - lose.

      all the would-be pirates now having to actually pay

      You think pirates are going to pay for this shit? They were never going to pay to begin with, what makes you think they’re going to pay for it now?

      They’re not.

      Way to contradict yourself in literally the next comment. Clearly you are a shill and not a serious person.

      source

      • Rhoeri@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Pirates weren’t going to buy anyway is your argument so therefore just let them pirate the game.

        Thats your argument?

        So that’s a slap in the face of paying customers. Why not just make the game fee for everyone then? If stupid “what if’s” are allowed.

        I’m. It contradicting shit. You’re crying about a protection the developer put in place to stop people from PLAYING THE GAME FOR FREE. And not crying about the people that caused them to have to do it.

        Fucking laughable.
