That may be the case, but doesn’t change the fact, that games run better without Denuvo.
It also doesn’t change the fact that the activation limit is stupid as hell when you are using Linux and every Proton change counts as a new activation.
As far as I know Denuvo also hinders the development of native Linux builds of games.
And if you see video games as art, Denuvo actively stands in the way of preservation.
Obviously it is anti-consumer as you can’t do backups, need constant internet convection, if any part of the chain breaks you are screwed out of your game, it hinders mod developers and so on.
Its only positive, is that the denuvo license is non-perpetual.
This is what has led to the trend of it getting removed after a while, because if the publisher wants to keep using it, they have to keep paying.
They aren’t removing it because people hate it, they’re removing it because once launch year has passed, and the crack is out, there’s little reason for the publisher to keep paying denuvo to apply drm.
Much better than it being on there forever on every game that ever launched with it.
Yea, they often want to secure the first month-year of sales as it’s most of the sales anyway. Sometimes there’s some user pressure but that’s really rare.
I don’t need to be convinced. I’m all for DRM-free games and have been using GOG for quite some time.
Fuck Denuvo, all my homies hate DRMs; but still, let’s not misinform because of our opinions, that would be falling low.
I’ll be switching to Linux soon, and didn’t know about the activation stuff. That’s going to suck. I’m nearly always staying away from AAA games & games that implement Denuvo, but still, good to know! Thanks
