Which programmer, game designer, graphics designer, voice actor, musician or what have you is paid how much more because they added denuvo? After the fact, mind you, so all the contracts and wages were agreed long ago.

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.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
In a world were plenty of games without denuvo are doing just fine? Yeah I blame the publisher/dev.
- Comment on After US-Israel Operation Kills 180 Girls in Iran, Melania Trump Chairs UN Session on Children in Conflict 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s Trump showing the UN how little he cares by letting his bought trophy wife deal with it.
- Comment on A product of his environment 2 weeks ago:
Us Germans sadly have owner’s associations in appartment buildings that can pull similar shit with the house rules, and also crazy restrictive building codes in some places, dictating how your driveway is allowed to look etc.

Tbh, that would be a functional dish without the broth.
- Comment on Jason Schreier says Sony is backing away from putting single player games on PC 2 weeks ago:
If I were a console vendor and I were worried about the PC as a competing platform, I’d think that I’d try to emphasize my competitive multiplayer games, not single-player games.
Step one: Don’t charge extra for online play.
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 3 weeks ago:
You can pay 6€ for shipping today or help amazon finally become the monopolist, and then tomorrow your batteries will just cost 10€.
Another way is to ask at the next electronics store as I’m sure they can order them with their next routine shipment.

- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 4 weeks ago:
If you know that you explicitly disagree with somebody on certain aspects, their opinion will be just as useful to you as if you liked exactly what they like.

Oh no! Somebody else might benefit from something you would’ve made anyway, at no additional cost to you! The horror!
- Comment on Blizzard reportedly partnering with Arc Raiders owner Nexon to revive StarCraft as a shooter 5 weeks ago:
Weird idea but bear with me: They could, and this will shock some of you, I hope you’re sitting in a safe position … They could revive Starcraft as fucking Starcraft!
- Comment on 32-year-old programmer in China allegedly dies from overwork, added to work group chat even while in hospital 1 month ago:
Planned economy is not a defining feature of communism, nor is it exclusive to it.
governed by it’s native Population
It’s governed by the CCP that violently suppresses all dissent.
with a public policy centered on general social welfare.
I’m sure the people living in huts they just bulldoze to build highways will agree.
Communism would be a classless society free from rulers. I see neither condition fulfilled.
An important defining feature is ownership of the means of production by the workers (not the authoritarian single party government that claims to speak for them and tolerates no dissent). There literally can be no billionaire company owner under communism.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 1 month ago:
The newer Anno installments. I’m not buying another Ubisoft game unless they get rid of their stupid Launcher, and I’m also not buying anything with Denuvo and similar BS.

They are reachable though.
- Comment on Noooooo 1 month ago:
For me the times are usually the other way around. I have coworkers who’d need two sentences for the actual question but wrap it in 15 minutes of useless small talk when they are on the phone.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 1 month ago:
There’s plenty of “actual” economists like that, and unfortunately some of them are among the generally most listened to, they lead prominent institutes and advise my home country’s government.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 1 month ago:
The main problem is that the math they do is often based on assumptions that have repeatedly been disproven but are still treated like gospel.
If you assume 2+2=5 you can follow up with as much correct math as you like, your results will always be shit.

- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 months ago:
Rolling back, sometimes because of file system corruption (had damaged RAM). Shouldn’t restoring be similar as long as the snapshot is intact?
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 months ago:
I’ve done that a few times now without issue. What’s wrong with it?
- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 2 months ago:
Everybody who has to work for a living is part of the working class. Further division is just “divide et impera” by the owners.

Chairs are fucking expensive though. It’s always like “oh, this table is only 300” “yeah, but the matching chairs are 120 each”
