I had a huge internet outage yesterday (from 2 afternoon to 12am midnight) and I couldn't play Resident Evil 7. I didn't even have a chance to activate online and then go to Steam's offline to keep the game playable. I had no idea the outage was coming. It just happened.
I realized right there that denuvo games are not worth very much. My experience as a customer is impacted and that removes value from the game since I could not play it. It's not that the games are worthless (to some people it is, I still don't think so b/c I enjoy the games).
Thank goodness I didn't pay the full 59.99+tax. I paid 41 after fees but in retrospect, that's still too high for a denuvo game. I'd say the sweet spot is 20-30. Ideally 10-15 but it takes a long time before it hits that price.
