I will say this post isn’t completely true. Denuvo (on pc) requires online checks but from what I’ve experienced it’s typically every 2-4 weeks. I’ve played persona 4 and 5 on my steam deck without internet just fine.
Edit:
Of course this could change for switch. It would be backwards as fuck, but I suppose it is possible
even when I’m home, my switch is in airplane mode unless I’m actively playing online. it’s crazy how often some games try to phone home, never realized until I got into this habit and started seeing the “please turn off airplane mode” popup
I don’t think it really has much to do with DRM. It’s practically well known at this point that consoles are easy to pirate through emulation. Especially with the constant day 1 emulation articles
So just a roundabout way to keep people from emulating games? People are gonna figure out how to relate your games. We took many years but we can finally emulate Banjo Tooie. Good games sell well and don’t lose really to piracy, bad (lazily made) games deserve to be pirated

I just need to know which titles have it so I don’t buy those games. It requires an always online connection and that’s a major dealbreaker for me.
I dont see that in the article, does it say that elsewhere?
It’s how Denuvo works on PC.
No? I’ve definitely played denuvo games on my steam deck completely offline. It’s like a once a month check or something.
And according to the website the drm is moreso hardware based, which is much more feasible on set hardware like the switch versus PC.
Fuck Denuvo and all but let’s keep speculation and facts clear
You are right, I mixed it up with something else.
Also sorry about my tone, I realized afterwards it came off as kinda dickish.
Don’t worry about it, you were right.
Always on connection? For a portable console? Great idea

Yuck.
What’s the point of locking down the console if games still include DRM?
Locking down the console stops the vast majority attempting piracy, drm attempts to stop the small minority attempting piracy

Thanks, I hate it.
