  all the would-be pirates now having to actually pay

  You think pirates are going to pay for this shit? They were never going to pay to begin with, what makes you think they’re going to pay for it now?

  They’re not.

  Way to contradict yourself in literally the next comment. Clearly you are a shill and not a serious person.

    Pirates weren’t going to buy anyway is your argument so therefore just let them pirate the game.

    Thats your argument?

    So that’s a slap in the face of paying customers. Why not just make the game fee for everyone then? If stupid “what if’s” are allowed.

    I’m. It contradicting shit. You’re crying about a protection the developer put in place to stop people from PLAYING THE GAME FOR FREE. And not crying about the people that caused them to have to do it.

    Fucking laughable.

      Stop sabotaging games for paying customers is the argument. It’s not complicated. You are obviously more interested in trying to stick it to pirates than getting an optimal experience for your money. Pirates will still play it for free in the end anyway.

      Pirates didn’t “cause” anyone to do anything. The developers did it themselves after buying into Denuvo’s scam. Thousands and thousands of dollars paid every month to make up for the unknowable number of “lost sales”. I guess there’s one thing Denuvo does well.

      Also, you did contradict yourself. Will the pirates buy the game or will they not? Make your mind up.

        For denuvo to adversely effect your gameplay, you need to be running some seriously outdated hardware. It sucked the life out of AC Origins, sure…. Almost ten years ago….

        It’s basically a non-issue now.

        The only people crying about it now are would-be pirates that never planned to buy it in the first place. They are people pretending to be on a crusade against the «evil» Denuvo but in reality just angry they now can’t easily pirate the game anymore.

  Who exactly “wins” anything here?

  The dev pay for denuvo licenses an doesn’t gain enough sales to make up for it - lose.

  The pirate waits longer to play the game - lose.

  The paying customer gets an inferior product - lose.

    Again, ten years ago there was a performance hit. Not it’s not even noticeable unless you have severely outdated hardware.

    The only people whining about this are people that would have pirated the game. Tough shit.

        The people who worked their asses off to make a good game deserve to be paid for it. That’s who wins.

        I soundly expect Antone here to give a shit about that though. Enjoy your little memes.
