That’s cool, but some people prefer to buy their games. To either show support, to track their hours/achievements, or the biggest one is to easily receive updates without having to scavenge the web to find an update patch.
“Show support” sounds like you only care about showing the game off to others on your steam profile. you can pirate and still buy merch if have the overwhelming need to not feel morally bad. the devs got paid, denuvo publishers don’t deserve anything.
Or, you can buy products. If you don’t like what they do, just don’t buy them.
I am not even defending Denuvo. I will not be buying this game. Pirating it also supports them, because if you talk about the game, show your friends, stream it, upload screenshots/videos, etc, you’re potentially getting others, who refuse to pirate, to buy the game.
If you don’t like what the company is doing, don’t play it.
And without the context that these devs just added Denuvo to their game, you might have a point. They shouldn’t be supported for fucking consumers, time can be tracked by adding as a non-Steam game, and by the point they remove Denuvo, the patches probably won’t be rolling in anymore.
Personally, I don’t pirate, so this is where I’d buy grey market or used on console. They wanna be dicks, I’m gonna be a dick right back.
People shouldn’t show support for companies that are willing to use this shit.
Also fuck updates. I hate that effect of the Internet on games, where they just keep updating, which also leads to increased laziness on release. I miss the days when you got a game and that was it, what you had was what you had, never to change again unless they release an expansion pack.

Will happen sooner than it being officially removed.

Supporting devs is good, but supporting a denuvo game is also showing that you will tolerate such overbearing DRM
I think they’re talking about the performance hit denuvo adds to a game
You can do all that pirated too, no scavenging needed
You can show support without buying the game. Indie devs often have patreons or donation links these days
