““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…

Gravity is tired of humans saying it causes things to fall down.
well… it doesn’t. Mass bends space-time which is the reason why things appear to fall. Einstein figured that out a long time ago.
Is that the phenomenon commonly known as “gravity”?
It’s like Jimmy Neutron calling salt sodium chloride lol
That’s a long way to say “falling down”
Denuvo and every employee there can suck my hairy, unshaven, sweaty, salty, moist, oily ball sack.
Denuvo rhymes with “fuck you, no.”
Too bad. Denuvo sucks.
Hm. I wonder why gamers say that.
“I’m a gamer myself, and therefore I know what I’m talking about”
Should we call it a fallacious call to authority, meme on it for being a “how do you do, fellow gamers” moment, or simply mock the guy for whoring himself out in favor of daddy corporate? I could write an essay on the ways this is an absurd statement.
Gamers hate Denuvo because it doesn’t “simply work”. It limits paying customers from accessing their content, bogs down mid-range machines that are already overtaxxed by poor optimization and, in admittedly uncommon cases, full on breaks some games until patches and fixes roll out. Stop pretending that “gamers” are out here rioting because they’re too cheap and immoral to pay for content. Quit your fuckin’ lying.
Option 4: All of the above.
What’s crazy is that it’s more than that.
“I’m a gamer so I know what I’m talking about, that gamers know nothing about this topic.”
The logic is very backwards.
I thought this was an onion article.
Think it would go over well at [email protected], or do you think they’d reject it?
Spot on, bravo!
and we’re tired of Denuvo lol
Well I’m a game dev myself and drm is bullshit. Denuvo can get fucked
Too bad you’re not a gamer like Denuvonian Man, you’d know a thing or two about games.
Denuvo’s DRM is bad for games.
DRM is shite by itself as well.
I’m a gamer, therfore I know what I’m talking about. Denuvo is SHIT!
I’m a gamer too and I agree. Now there’s two gamers saying that denuvo is crap vs one gamer. We got majority.
Its simple.
Pirates don’t ruin games for other players.
Pirates ruin games for the dealers.
Pirates mostly enhance games, in my experience
Not necessarily even that. Piracy can benefit the developer by increasing popularity. Piracy made Bill Gates a billionaire despite his fighting tooth and nails against it.
And also for longevity of the games, I heard that one company (I don’t remember the name) selling pirated version of their games for modern system because they can’t get rid of DRM themselves
Good luck trying to PR like this garbage is useful to the end user, you gonna need it.
Let’s not be too hasty to call it garbage when it could in fact turn out to be rancid dog shit.
Well, he’s not wrong that it’s “super hard” to see any benefit of Denuvo for anyone other than the beneficial owners of Denuvo Software Solutions. Gamers might have a better than average ability to suspend disbelief, but that “new study” was pushing it a bit far.
Boohoo, Denuvo, cry me a fudging river!
fucking*
Fudging gremmar nazis
Ducking heck! 😄
God damn right!
only good thing about their drm its so expensive very few companies will pay a subscription to keep it active forever
