Comment on Crimson Desert Includes Denuvo DRM, To Nobody’s Delight
Rhoeri@lemmy.world 12 hours agoIt’s completely logical to me. A thing can be two things. Maybe look up a thing called nuance.
Laughing about people crying because of an anti-piracy feature instead of being pissed at the pirates- then going so far as to say “well, they weren’t going to buy anyway!” as an argument is fucking hilarious to me.
It doesn’t mean I have nothing to say about it . Not doors it make my stance in bad faith. I just think your argument is ridiculous.

Logic is objective, so saying it’s logical to you is illogical.
A sense of humour is irrelevant to a discussion from a logical standpoint. Furthermore, we literally have data and studies that show that piracy doesn’t hurt the sales of games— when provided with this evidence in the comments, you just “laughed” at it.
You ask for reasoning/evidence, and when provided, just laugh at it. Laughter doesn’t dismiss evidence.

I laughed at the argument that piracy doesn’t hurt the sales of games- THEREFORE it should be allowed.
It’s not about hurting the sales of the games. They weren’t going to buy it anyway. But for those that PAY for it. It’s a slap in the face. I should get to play it for free too, right?
Where do you draw the line?
All game should be free! Developers don’t need paychecks! It’s a service to the people!
LMAO!

It doesn’t hurt the sales of the games, that’s an unscientific assertion you are asserting that directly contradicts research.
If you want to play it for free, nobody’s stopping you from pirating it too. It seems like resentment here rather than logical rigour in your argument. It’s not a slap in the face for gamers who want to support the developers. If you don’t, there’s no reason why you should be obligated to purchase the game.
Games are made and developed for-profit, they only continue production if they are profitable. They’ve remained profitable despite piracy forever.
This has nothing to do with the argument that all games should be free or that developers don’t need paychecks. It’s an entirely different set of claims which nobody is making here.

Bullshit

The consensus isn’t a dislike of DRM in general. Denuvo is especially bad because of how much a performance hog it is. The idea that it’s protection will be circumvented eventually but the people who bought copies will have worse performance is the frustrating part. Additionally, Linux users who change their proton version can be slapped with lock outs(usually temp) on games they purchased with no recourse.
