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.

Rhoeri@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThey’re not. And now they do get to play it for free either.
Win-win.

Again, ten years ago there was a performance hit. Not it’s not even noticeable unless you have severely outdated hardware.
The only people whining about this are people that would have pirated the game. Tough shit.
The people who worked their asses off to make a good game deserve to be paid for it. That’s who wins.
I soundly expect Antone here to give a shit about that though. Enjoy your little memes.

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

@rhoeri@lemmy.world 's entire persona is to argue with people, then get mad at them and stomp away.lololol I’m glad so many people here are downvoting him. He’s finally realizing that people aren’t putting up w his bullshit anymore. He’ll get banned from somewhere and then just say variations of “I didn’t like them anyway so I blocked them!” Check out his mod history, it’s a wild ride. lol

I’m not allowed to argue with you here or I’ll get banned, but do go ahead and bad faith your way through the entirety of the ToS agreement.
I’m well aware of who moderates this comm and the bias in .world. So enjoy the freedoms that comes with preach bullshit to the pasture.
I won’t apologize for having a different opinion, despite the angry kids that it outrages. A different opinion is no reason to remain silent.
Enjoy the hive.

That’s extremely ironic coming from you. lol

Just accept that your argumentative style and habit of putting people down are unwelcome here. So much of your post history is of you complaining. You’re being negative and toxic to the Lemmy community. Look at all your downvotes in this thread.
Your mod history doesn’t pain a pretty picture! lol
Doesn’t that tell you something about what people on Lemmy think of you and the way you talk to people? You need to take a break from Lemmy or something. Are you this angry in your real life? Eww…

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.

Stop sabotaging games for paying customers is the argument. It’s not complicated. You are obviously more interested in trying to stick it to pirates than getting an optimal experience for your money. Pirates will still play it for free in the end anyway.
Pirates didn’t “cause” anyone to do anything. The developers did it themselves after buying into Denuvo’s scam. Thousands and thousands of dollars paid every month to make up for the unknowable number of “lost sales”. I guess there’s one thing Denuvo does well.
Also, you did contradict yourself. Will the pirates buy the game or will they not? Make your mind up.
Rhoeri@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
For denuvo to adversely effect your gameplay, you need to be running some seriously outdated hardware. It sucked the life out of AC Origins, sure…. Almost ten years ago….
It’s basically a non-issue now.
The only people crying about it now are would-be pirates that never planned to buy it in the first place. They are people pretending to be on a crusade against the «evil» Denuvo but in reality just angry they now can’t easily pirate the game anymore.
