I see no reason to hate denuvo or other anti piracy software if you do not pirate games I am your father |
Probably because they end up being more of an inconvenience to the customer than the pirate. I'm a grim bloody fable with an unhappy bloody ending. |
Because the pirates remove them and then the legit customers are the ones stuck with the questionable programs. FC: 2921-9087-2265 |

The Denuvo guys claim they add in their checks at points in the game where they don't affect the performance. So that mean Denuvo affevts the performance which at the loading screen means it probably prolongs the loading times and pits more stress on the hardware with no user benefit. What can change the nature of a man? |

No, it potentially means less sales because people who might buy get turned off by the obnoxious DRM and spend their money and time elsewhere. Not that the consumer should give a damn about the company's balance book in the first place. I'm a grim bloody fable with an unhappy bloody ending. |
Because I'm own a legitimate copy of the game, so why the f*** should I be treated like a criminal by the developers? Specs: i7 4790k@4.5GHz|EVGA 1080 FTW|16GB RAM - GLORIOUS PC MASTER RACE! Congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump! (edited 1 day ago) |
If you are wondering why people hate anti piracy measures, then look no further: the PS Vita is the perfect example. Sony wanted to make an unbreakable console to piracy and they got it at the price of almost nobody wanting to buy it. I'm not a Sony hater. In fact, I have a PS1, a PS2 and a PSP and I've been in the verge of buying a Vita. It's just that the proprietary memory cards are stupidly expensive and I'm not a fan of paying for downloading anything. "Am I missing an eyebrow?". |
yourDaddie posted... I see no reason to hate denuvo or other anti piracy software if you do not pirate games A game with Denuvo or other "Anti-tamper" tech, or whatever, can't be modded. A lot of people hate it off of that factor alone. There's also forms of DRM like that, too, which make the games perform worse, load slower, and other sort of things that it'd otherwise not have to deal with. There's also the fact that most DRM doesn't do anything but annoy the person who pays for a game. The pirate's version of the game is better. They don't have to pay for it and it doesn't even have the DRM. Probably got it before release date, too. It's bulls***. I guess that's less of an issue with Denuvo, which I'm unsure is cracked yet, but for other forms of DRM, that's 100% true. It virtually serves no purpose other than to make a person who pays have a worse product than the person who "stole" it.
