Fuck Denuvo. DRM does not benefit the gamer. Period. No amount of gaslighting will change that.

Stop being shitty. Skill issue.
If anyone deserves the Steam forums' shit it's these cunts.
No amount of hostility will ever reach the levels they've earned with their malware shit.
Fuck Denuvo. They just slithered their way into Undisputed with the 1.0 update and I’m stuck without a boxing game again.
What's with all the recent articles whitewashing Denuvo?
They are trying to "save face" by shit talking while refusing to show any true evidence that their product does not impact performance.
People are tired of it so they stop buying games that have Denuvo. Denuvo needs to look like a sound investment, but it's bleeding out because it really isn't, and companies are likely losing more than they are actually gaining via sales because of Denuvo, thus some companies are distancing themselves and Denuvo is losing money.
Denuvo is the single most odious intersection of capitalism and leisure; and in a perfect world, everyone in that company's c-suite would've already been kicked into a tiger pit
Imagine someone punches you in the mouth and then when you get pissed off and say mean things, they call you "toxic" and "hostile". Like bitch, you created this situation.
lol. lmao, even. cry more Denuvo.
Fuck off, Denuvo.
Yes, the Steam forums are awful, but still. Fuck off. Nobody wants you here.
Denuvo has the reputation it has for a reason, and labeling their critics (most of the gaming community) as salty pirates is not going to help them any.
When it comes to performance claims, why on Earth would I believe the salespeople for Denuvo over the people forced to play with it? The former has every inventive to quash any and all claims of causing performance issues.
The upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard will somewhat surprisingly not use Denuvo at all
There’s the tell. Publishers might start listening to their customers, who generate income, rather than their vendors’ sales personnel, who create expenses. He’s panicked over a potential existential crisis.
Have you tried not hurting game performance?
Better yet, have they tried not fucking with gamers' property rights by shutting down their criminal company?
If I read a forum where people are known to object to what I do, there’s a fair chance I’ll get my feelings hurt. That’s on me.
To be fair. The Steam forums are actually pretty bad in general and could do with better moderation.
Having said that, there is a reason why some corporations have the reputation that they have. Might want to fix the thing that is causing that reputation instead of blaming everyone else for your bad reputation. But that would be the harder thing to do that takes time and effort and no one likes to put effort in.
What do you mean?
All I see are hearts and love ❤️❤️❤️❤️. /s
Skill issue.
I haven't bought a Denuvo-protected game in about a decade, and that isn't going to change.
Denuvo-~~protected~~infested
FTFY. The notion that Denuvo "protects" anything whatsoever is itself accidental pro-Denuvo loaded language.
Oh look, Denuvo playing the victim.
And it exemplifies rather well why I hate the word "toxic": bad reputation? Toxic! Criticism? Toxic!
Bullshitting like «it's in part because it "simply works" and would-be pirates are trying to make it unattractive to game publishers by disparaging it.»? Noooo that is not toxic because it aligns with the discourse that Denuvo wants to spread, right?
"I'm with the company for such a long time," said Ullmann. "The guys here are like my family, because a lot of the others here are also here for ages. It just hurts to see what's posted out there about us, even though it has been claimed wrong for hundreds of times."
"Insert personal story to make it look like you aren't criticising software; no, you're criticising a family. You monster~
it exemplifies rather well why I hate the word "toxic"
I mean it can be abused just like any other adjective...
Most people that i know that use the word toxic, are the things that they mean when they say toxic. Its a worthless word in the contexts its being used in.
@BrikoX The only thing Denuvo can ever do is make the product worse. Plenty of games launch DRM-free, and that's what I want as a customer.
