#WHY DENUVO IS BAD PC#

There are games with much lighter DRM like GFWL that require work arounds these days, and that's only one generation behind, and that's run by Microsoft, who have a much bigger presence in the PC space. History has taught us to not trust DRM.ДЄre the things I can list just from the top of my head. We have no numbers that indicate that Denuvo games, that remains uncracked, sell noticeably more then similiar games without Denuvo.ДЁ. If it's not a stop for modding, then it's at least an obstacle.Д§.

If anything, Denuvo only serves like a further source of technical issues for your purchase.Д¦. There's nothing to be gained for a customer that Denuvo is included.ДҐ. It gives nothing back to the customer for what it takes away from you in further limiting your ownership.

Since DRM free releases invalidates the point of using Denuvo, you can be sure that you won't get GOG releases, DRM free alternatives on Humble, etc from games with Denuvo.Д¤. This third party that was just sold to another company. It asks you trust to this random third party to keep your access to your bought games open, over the years, and that they do not collect information about you. It creates a depency to their Amazon servers, no matter where you buy your games from.Дў. It's hard to have a level-headed discussion.ДЎ. I mean, you can practically guarantee there'll be posts below explaning how Mania was delayed to include Denuvo (false) or how Rime ran bad because of Denuvo (false). People just need to find a comfortable middle ground, with both sides pushing their agenda, meaning there's not many meaningful discussions to be had. We know of successful models withour DRM (see GOG), so a lot of people are inclined for that kind of future instead, despite the fact it does nothing to stop the rampant piracy (0.01USD Humble Bundles where money goes to charity are frequently up on Torrent websites - so yeah.).Дenuvo is not ideal, but some anti-piracy measure is needed if you don't want PC gaming to end up like it nearly did a decade or so ago. It means it's harder to cheat online, but at the same time it kinda kills modding.

You can't really mod the game or use secondary software when Denuvo is on. There's a lot of other unfounded rumors pushed by pirates that would love to see Denuvo fail because some of their games needed months to be pirated, which can be an awful lot of time - not unlike what happened with Securom and such. There have been rumors about Denuvo killing your CPU usage or bricking your HDD, no convincing proof was ever brought forward however. If the game doesn't get Denuvo patched out and Denuvo goes down in some years, you can't 'legally' play your game anymore, you need to crack it. If the Denuvo servers are down or you can't connect for whatever reason, you can't play. There's equally legitimate concerns and pirate-friendly faux concerns:
