““I think it’s super hard for a gamer,” Ullmann tells Rock Paper Shotgun. “I’m a gamer myself, and therefore I know what I’m talking about. I think it’s super hard to see, as a gamer, what is the immediate benefit for me that a certain game developer, game publisher, is using our anti-piracy services.” This gap, coupled with the fact that Denuvo “simply works” and “pirates cannot play games” which use it, as Ullmann puts it, are two main contributors to its negative reputation, he argues.”
Let’s not forget about being always-online or not being able to test different wine/Proton setups for fear of activating the DRM. Or even trying simply to run the game in some situations…
Denuvo Games Curator Gives a great and clear indicator so there’s no way you could possibly buy one by accident, like the trolls keep trying to argue will happen.
This list is awesome. Unsurprisingly nearly every game has bad reviews.
They’re not even for denuvo itself.
I wonder. Do the shitty shovelware games gravitate towards Denuvo? Or do they install denuvo as part of their enshittification process
I figure they must think they can make their games sell better if they include it because it still hasn’t occurred to these dumbasses that if your games suck people just won’t buy them. Maybe its cope, after all you can’t tap into a market of people who don’t want your game (well I mean you can, but most companies don’t consider scamming people), so they assume all the people not buying it are pirating it.
