One way or another there's waiting

I've come to prefer waiting. When a new game comes out, what I tend to see from the scene is the initial release, then a few updates/patches, a lull where updates/patches are missed (unless it's pretty popular), and eventually a rerelease with the now final updated version.

Waiting for the last means no figuring out why cracks don't work, wrestling with weird performance issues, etc.

Oh for sure, patient gaming all the way. But I was more just pointing out that Denuvo does make things unpleasant for pirates too.
