  Denuvu, yes.

  But Denuvu was recently cracked (beyond the Hypervisor bypass; fully cracked now) so it probably won’t be too hard to pirate it and get better performance than paying customers.

    I mean, I fully expected them to use Denuvo or another aggressive DRM - considering the hype around the game. I initially expected something worse after I read that comment. Since DRM was broken by abusing the hypervisor, I wonder if a new generation of DRM might block running in a VM or on Linux/Proton completely. Like Kernel level DRM module or such.

    If it’s “just” Denuvo, I personally don’t care that much as it usually gets removed after a while and I usually wait for a sale anyways. My backlog is big enough to keep me entertained.

    As for the betrayed: Why the fuck do people preorder games? I get it, if you want a physical edition of a console game and want to be able to play day one (or want to have it delivered day one). I also get it somewhat with physical goodies of a limited edition (as the digital goodies are usually just a simple skin or such and not worth it). And I get it, if you consider backing a crowd funding campaign of an indie game as preorder. But besides that? It can and will only be a let down usually.
