Out of the loop. What’s Denuvo?

There’ll be nothing to get adjusted to if they continue to insist on Denuvo

Anti piracy software that slows down your game

The “slows down your game” bit has always been hotly contested. There are certainly occasions where a modified exe without Denuvo runs faster, combined with accusations that that specific game integrated Denuvo in a very poor last-minute implementation that calls it dozens of times a second.
I don’t work on video games, but my own experience with software engineering and release management suggests those sorts of murky answers are likely to be the norm.

Cracked games with Denuvo removed run significantly faster.

Would buying the game and playing it legally still slow down the game?

Yes, cracked Denuvo games actually run better because you aren’t running
a virusanti piracy software in the background. It runs at the kernel level and Crowdstrike is a pretty good case study on why that’s bad.skaffi@infosec.pub 4 months ago
Yes, that’s the issue.

Reddit and lemmy like to say that but I doubt any noticeable portion of the player base is going to bother. Has been for almost every game with denuvo lol

Sadly your average person just doesn’t care about consumer rights, in any matter.
I learned my lesson about malicious DRM when Starforce broke my new computer’s DVD drive back in the day. Fortunately it was still under warranty so I had it fixed, but sucked all the same.
