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

    Win-win.

      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.

        You made great points!

        @[email protected] 's entire persona is to argue w people, then get mad, tell on them, and stomp away because he can’t people banned off all of Lemmy.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 moderation history, it’s a wild ride. He brings so much toxic negativity to Lemmy. lol

        Pirates weren’t going to buy anyway, 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.

        And I’m not 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.

        Oh, and read this:

          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.

            For denuvo to adversely effect your gameplay, you need to be running some seriously outdated hardware.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.

              So Denuvo “basically” doesn’t cause any performance issues, and if it does, its the users fault for having lower end hardware? That’s just ridiculous.

              Calling all critics of Denuvo pirates is nonsense. Not all people who buy games are okay with mandatory online checks, performance hits, and curtailing of mod support.

              Speaking of things that Trumpers do… Falsely accuse all opponents of being domestic terrorists or radical leftists and refuse to accept that they might be wrong.

      Who exactly “wins” anything here?

      The dev pays 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.

        Again, ten years ago there was a performance hit. Now, 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 wouldn’t expect anyone here to give a shit about that though. Enjoy your little memes.

              Which programmer, game designer, graphics designer, voice actor, musician or what have you is paid how much more because they added denuvo? After the fact, mind you, so all the contracts and wages were agreed long ago.

                He can’t answer because he doesn’t want people to play games, he just wants people to pay for DRM spyware.
