Because it's the hero that PC gaming deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt it, because it can take it. Because it's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.

I'm sorry, but if I can't pirate the games, I just wont play them.
/v/, why do you keep thanking this faggot for raping you in the ass?
But how does this shit benefit me, the consumer
>>273005531
AA games are the best games, they don't lean on 10 million dollar marketing budgets to sell themselves to the true fans. Pretty much all of them are on PC.(except the ones made by or for Nintendo)
>>273005814
If all those big publishers are out of business, lots of IP will be dead. No more Diablo or Far Cry.
>>273006423
Console fans have been thanking manufacturers for raping them in the ass for like a decade. Now they thank DRM programmers for fucking people in the ass.
They just love supporting cancerous business models.
>>273006487
You are saying that as if it was bad.
>>273006437
It helps you using that expensive i7 for something like scrambling game file code.
>>273002246
>Pirates just need to be forced into becoming a paying customer
And they wonder why games like Tales of Valkyrie and Witcher 2 do amazing, while CoD and AssCreed do piss poor
hey, my game can't run. Is it software incompatibility? Surely it is not the game programers fault. They would never take my hard earned dollars and give me a shitty game that crashes on anything I play it. Oh wait! The game thinks I'm a pirate! Oh, I better spends 24 hours with tech support at this defunct company to convince them I actually bought this game.
>I actually bought this game....
>>273003179
Not all the time. Bad games get pirated heavily and affect sales but good games get sales boosts.
Case in point:
Divinity OS. The beta could be pirated and was in a very playable state that was pretty much like a 12 hour demo yet is considered Larian's most successful game to date.
>>273006159
Steam is a DRM system, you moron.
>>273006694
>CoD do piss poor
CoD:AW just raked in 8 billion dollars for Activision. How is that piss poor?
>>273006223
DRM is not the answer to piracy.
>>273006447
>

Completely agree with you.
>Pretty much all of them are on PC
Yep.
But they also get on Steam, PSstore or XBLA when they get the chance.
Those three are a real sales boost.
>>273006798
But it benefits me, it gives me cheap games, easy access to mods due to steam workshop, easy access to free to play games.
What does Denuvo do for me?
still no Dragon Age crack? I hope this game will be the flop of the century
yes mad
>>273006437
It helps the economy. Thanks to non-intrusive DRM you will see better games in the future.
>>273006878
No we won't.
PS4 and XONE cannot be pirated, and they still get tons and tons of shit broken games.
Why do you retars keep replaying to these fucking threads.
>>273006856
It protects Steam DRM from being cracked.
>>273006878
Buyfag here. If you really think every pirate is a missed sale than you are hopelessly deluded.
And "helped ecnomy" doesn't benefit me, the consumer. it pits more money in the pockets of publishers provided IF pirates buy the game. (which they wont)
>>273006970
*replying
>>273006803
Talking about on PC. Sales for CoD, AssCreed, and anything EA are constantly doing worse and worse. Which I honestly wonder why they're so focused on PC piracy, when Console piracy is just as relevant. Then again it's probably just a convenient excuse to boost up their console consumer base, and dump money into R&D that'll eventually go nowhere.
>>273006982
And how does that benefit me?
I don't give a fuck about the companies I buy the games.
For me, they could go bankrupt after I get the game I bought.
The only honest company is CD Projekt, or the ones working on Nintendo.
The rest can rot for what I care.
Yes, Denuvo, thank you. Now literally nobody will be playing Dragon Age, and I am perfectly pleased. You couldn't pay ME to support a Bioware circlejerk.
>>273006996
Killing theft is important for the capitalism to work.
>buy a denuvo game

Thank You Based Denuvo™!
Rime, feeding first blood.
>>273007086
And why would I want capitalism to work?
It's a shit system that crashed hard due to how fucking broken and corrupt it is.
Give me a single reason to support EA, Activision or Ubisoft.
>>273007069
>The only honest company is CD Projekt, or the ones working on Nintendo.
Bullshit. You believed their marketing teams.
>For me, they could go bankrupt after I get the game I bought.
No more patches, no more new good games.
You are the reason why we won't have any good titles in the future.
Denuvo is actually a good way to weed out the leeches from piracy.
If you can't wait a month, tops, then you deserve to buy a plastic, generic, Sweden-approved AAA+ EA blockbuster.
>>273006776
>Bad games get pirated heavily and affect sales but good games get sales boosts
So to clarify:
Piracy of bad games harms sales.
Piracy of good games boosts sales.
In other words, this system works beautifully, and only retards and shitposters are against it.
>>273007121
>it kills your SSD
fake disinfo
>>273007190
>No more patches, no more new good games.
Funny how we had 3 gens of excellent games without patching.
>>273007190
>Bullshit. You believed their marketing teams.
And you believed Denuvo's marketing.

It's PC, the benefit of it is that we can fix the games ourselves, and even improve them. See Watch Dogs.
Also
>no more new good games
That will happen regardless if piracy lives or not.
This industry is broken, and PS4 and XONE proved that even if piracy doesn't exist, shit, broken games will keep coming
>>273007171
>single reason
You want more of their game? Some of us actually like game like CoD. I bet you have a soft spot for some title published by EA or Ubisoft.

Because communism doesn't work.
It's the best system we know.
>>273007249
Yeah pretty much.
I never hear of good game developers moaning about piracy but I always hear shitty developers/publishers moaning about it.
>>273007308
>we can fix the games ourselves
Unless nobody wants to patch the game for free.
StarForce took over a year to crack. Unless they actually release good games protected by Denuvo I don't give a shit.
>>273007371
Communism is not the only system besides capitalism, you retarded amerifat.
>>273007308
>This industry is broken
The industry hasn't changed a bit.
You are the one who is broken.
Your age influences your view.
>>273007259
kills is the wrong word here, it simply degrades your ssd memory blocks 10000 faster than than normal non-Denuvo games.
>>273007350
>Some of us actually like game like CoD. I bet you have a soft spot for some title published by EA or Ubisoft.
I had.
EA's was Battlefield, and they destroyed the series by releasing 3 games in a row broken as fuck, that needed 1 year worth of patches.
>Ubisoft
It had, Assassin's Creed, in fact, after pirating AC4, and playing 2 hours, I bought it, physical edition even, but with AC Unity they just killed the entire series with single game, also Watch Dogs, which is literally the iPhone of videogames: marketed to hell, but dull as fuck.
>Activision
The Transformers games, but nope, they decided that the studio making them was better put to making previous-gen Call of Duty ports, and they decided to kill that series as well with Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark.
Sorry, but I have reasons to wanting to see all of them dead.
>>273005531
Most idiots aaa games cater to are on consoles because that's the platform for madden and cod.
Piracy does not make a major difference except for small developers, as far as I know the only developer truly fucked by piracy are the guys who made world of goo.
>>273007491
Sure it hasn't.
I remember playing GTA SA and buying the online pass and some DLCs for it, along with waiting 1 year so they could patch it to make it playable.
>>273007491
>You are the one who is broken.
that's actually true, i am fucking broke, that's why i wait for the crack
>>273007350
>some of us actually like CoD
If this is not bait then this is definitely a grim future we live in.
>>273007371
>Because communism doesn't work.
lol
And capitalism does?
>>273007368
And after they are gone, nobody will start new ones.
Pretty much. When small studio asks for 60$ for their game you refuse to buy it because it's so expensive. Small studios need more money to produce games. Large studios can offer dumping prices. Your greed will eventually destroy every small dev studio that even tries to release a new game.
>>273007627
It's neo-/v/

Yes. At least when compared to communism.
Proprietary DRM malware is not a good thing.
This is something that is malicious and bad for customers/users.
>>273007605
It's not companies fault that idiots buy DLCs and pre-order games. Don't forget to pre-order Witcher III right now. They are just doing business. It's the clients who got dumber over the years.

Git good.
>>273007834
Pre-ordered the limited edition of The Witcher 3 for PC months ago.
But it's not my fault either, why would I have to put up with the shit of a bunch of retards?
I've done nothing to deserve getting kicked in the balls everytime I buy a game.
The industry wants me to buy their games?
Okay, don't release unoptimized broken PC ports, and don't harass me constantly with 20$ DLCs.
Then we have a deal, until then fuck off.
>>273007495
its been disproven. Only one site has posted about claims, and no one has been able to repeat that many writes. Everyone is showing a low number of writes/accesses after hours
>>273007683
No. Look at Grinding Gear Games for example.
So Denuvo has never been cracked before?
If that is the case i might just buy from some cheap russian site
>>273007976
Dude, look around you, the world entirely is in ruins.
Communism broke 25 years ago, and capitalism broke 6 years ago.
They don't work.
>>273007732
>Yeah, we're just a bunch of old men angry at change.
Yes you are.
Costs of producing games goes up.
If you don't like something in the game, don't buy it.
I'll repeat.
DON'T BUY IT AND DON'T PLAY IT.

the new denuvo hasn't been cracked for almost 70
>>273008052
obvs the solution is more capitalism
>>273007751
There's no such thing as a communist country on Earth, the USSR was never even communist.
A communist country:
1) Has no such thing as money.
2) Has no state. That means no government.
Did you country have either of these things? If so, it was not a communist society. Communism has been done by most human societies for most of human history actually, it just wasn't called communism.
TLDR: Most people have no clue what communism is, and often think communism is about the very opposite of what it's meant to achieve.
>>273008053
Costs goes up?
Then proof that those costs to something.
How is it that AC Unity costed millions and millions of dollars, yet it's one of the worst PC ports ever made (probably the worst) and it's absolutely broken?
Costs don't mean shit in quality, and if higher costs don't mean higher quality, they can go broke for all I care.
>>273007813
>DRM malware
And what is this?
Denuvo does jack shit to my PC.
Also, it's not DRM. SteamWorks is the DRM protected by Denuvo.
How come you are not bashing Steam for being a DRM platform?
>>273008107

Denuvo gives me none.
>>273007979
>But it's not my fault
>Pre-ordered the limited edition of The Witcher 3 for PC months ago

>>273008147

Communism is about equal distribution of wealth who do you think is responsible for that distribution and maintaining balance.
>>273008147
>1) Has no such thing as money.
>2) Has no state. That means no government.
This is complete bullshit. That's not what communism is at all. The first thing can be true in communism but is by no means a requirement. The second thing is downright the opossite of what communism is.

No I am not, because I'm not buying DLCs or paying an online pass.
CD Projekt has shown me that they do not disrespect users.
In fact, they didn't even add a DRM.
I could just get the game, and play it, yet I bought it, and a lot of people will.

>>273008369
I don't care if you disagree.
If you don't like their games then don't buy them
If you like their games then buy them
If noone buy their games they'll die out
If people buy their games then they'll survive and produce more games
That's how capitalism works in this case and it works fine.
>>273008348
Retard. I'm not an american, I'm from eastern europe. I know what communism is first hand.

I think Steam is proprietary freedom denying DRM malware too. I think Steam is bad, but I use it anyway because it's a sacrifice I chose to make to get to the end goal of what I want.
In terms of proprietary software, Steam isn't the worst thing in the world either.
>Denuvo does jack shit to my PC.
Malware just means malicious software. This is software that's primary goal is to do malicious things against the user of it, and restrict their freedom.
Thanks Denuvo, you will show the publishers that piracy is free advertising

>angry marketer
It's not my fault your shitty company dumps boatloads of cash into expensive name brand VAs, hires some hollywood hack to do the score and directing, dumps a shitload of money into the marketing and DRM, and then blames me for pirating the piece of shit. Maybe you should actually pay the developers, hire good artists, stop making everything a 60$ checklist and create a meaningful consumer base as opposed to paying a 3rd party to viral shit that has nothing to do with the actual game via mountain dew and doritos. Maybe if we had demos before release so that feeling of being tricked into buying a AAA piece of shit isn't 100% confirmed. Same thing with review embargos.
Now I can't attest for everyone, because I'm one singular anon. But why would I want to go back to being a paying customer for EA, Activision or Ubisoft? What incentive do I have? I don't even pirate their games, nor pay for them, and they still make it very well known that they don't like me as a consumer. And because I don't buy into their hype and anti-consumerist policies, then I'm not welcome.
>>273008540
Just hope that you don't get BTFO-ed by sales figures.
>>273007036
EA is telling that only reason their games don't sell on PC to the investors is because of rampant piracy.
They cannot just turn around and say "remember that piracy thing? we made it up." They have to find a way to stop the piracy for the investors.
I'm sure EA itself will hack denuvo if nobody else does it.
>>273002246
>tfw all the pirates racing to crack Denuvo for bragging rights
It's happening.
>>273008339
You can judge the game based on videos.
Who the fuck forces you to buy at release?
You can only criticize if you bought the game.
>>273008478
Oh, yeah, sure, same like North Koreans know first hand what it's like to live in a democratic people's republic.
>>273008481
No, I have bought games since forever because pirating games is a hassle, i've always played games at the right time.
So, what benefits does Denuvo give to a user that has always bought games?
>>273008501
>Stop trying to convince people if you aren't willing to be convinced.
Then what's the Denuvo thread?
>>273008557

Exactly. They cater to those idiots because they won't even think about pirating a game.
AAA companies produce games to get revenues.
It would be fucking stupid to put your money in a clever game that is going to get pirated when you can make a dumb one that will sell thousands (or millions) of copies.
>Piracy does not make a major difference except for small developers...
And for us. The players. When companies grow big enough, they end up switching sides in order to appeal to te console market. A market that, as you know, is dominated by dumb-fucks. So they start dumbing down their games, and making games that stupid cowadooty and madden people would buy.

>What's more Denuvo shit doesn't allow for any modding, so fuck them.
false, more bullshit by pirates
only doesn't allow editing of the exe, texture files character files and script files should be able to be changed
so far the only games that use denuvo run on frostbite anyways so they can't be modded regardless of drm
>>273008686
For you it's neutral.

>>273008638
>You can judge the game based on videos.
>You didn't actually play it!
>Who the fuck forces you to buy at release?
Nobody. That's the point. And you won't change that. If I'm interested in a game, I'll pirate it first. If it's good, I buy it if I can, or at the very least recommend it to people. If it's shit, I won't buy it, and I'll tell everyone why it's shit.
>You can only criticize if you bought the game.
You literally can't do a single thing to stop me. Kill yourself you cancerous faggot.
>>273008686
You mean this one? Well I learned the SSD rumor was false, but I'll still say it's going to do nothing but discourage people from even considering the games it's on. Which it will. That's a proven fact. You might get a few idiots, but the majority is still going to look at an unpirateable game as one you just can't trust to be good in this day and age.

>>preordering a game from a dev and publisher that have proved themselves over and over again is bad
Yes it is. Pre-ordering is always bad.
Meh. These proprietary anti-piracy things never end well.
It will hurt their earnings, people who weren't going to buy the games aren't going to anyways. They just miss out on selling merchandise. Someone will inevitably crack the denuvo system there is yet to be one form of online security that actually works. Hell, even banks aren't safe.
SecuROM was also up in your face about it's tyrannical DRM capabilities and we all know how that paying customer raping train wreck went.
>>273008287
>Communism is about equal distribution of wealth
There is no such thing as money, I'm just going to remind you of that.
>who do you think is responsible for that distribution and maintaining balance.
The community. Capitalist societies have evolved where if you took away law enforcement and government there would be chaos, but if you think in terms of how a tribal society would have handled things several hundreds of years ago, that's basically how.
If you were living in a Native American tribe a thousand years ago, you can kind of figure out why there wasn't much "crime", and when there was how it was dealt with. You can also imagine why everyone was okay with helping out a little for the community.
>>273008296
>but is by no means a requirement.
Yes it is.
>The second thing is downright the opossite of what communism is.
No, it's the downright opposite of what most people falsely believe communism is. Most people think communism is about being oppressed by a government or dictator, when it's ironic because it's actually closer to complete anarchy.

Who gives a shit about names and labels. It's what the reality of trying to do communism looks like. The "communism" you are dreaming of won't and can't ever exist. It's on par with getting high and saying "dude... it would be great if everyone like, had enough of everything and shit"

By being proprietary software it is freedom-denying and gives unethical control of the users to the owner of said software.
By being proprietary software whose sole purpose is to even further restrict your freedom and only has negative effects, is even more malicious.

You are the insignificant minority. Most pirates don't buy the games they have stolen.
>>273009180
These dont apply because piracy lets you try the whole game. Its no different of an experience than playing a purchased copy. Thus people who pirate a game have the right to give a review of it just the same. In fact you just ruined your own argument because most AAA games today don't let you test or look around before you purchase.

Exactly, they were socialists countries.
The logic is that after capitalism, there's a socialist revolution and then Communism.
Why Communism never happened? Because it doesn't work. A economy without private means of production is a economy doomed to fail.
People who critisize capitalism are people who learned capitalism from a marxist point of view, which is incorrect. Those economic problems that we have today are mostly (if not all of them) because goverment makes dumb decisions and they blame "free markets" or something else so they can still make dumb decisions.

>That's how capitalism works in this case and it works fine.
Totally, I mean, since we're talking EA, the people that supported DAO as a the successor od Baldur's Gate it was announced to be by buying and word of mouth totally didn't get fucked backwards when DA2 was released.
The people that thought that they were supporting developers totally totally see it coming when EA fucked Infinity Ward for Modern Warfare 2 anyway.
"Support the company" doesn't work long term for those companies, because all only interested in maximum profit and are not in any way interested in the long term.
If they can fuck you right now they will. Then try to present some excuses and PR the backlash so they can go at it again later on - see the Sims. See Sim City. See Dungeon Keeper cellphone.
That's how capitalism works.
>>273009370
Videos and review sites are more than enough to determine if you will like a game.
Is there any word from any groups that this is being worked on or any progress towards cracking it?

Motherfucker, the whole gaming industry works because it's proprietary. People don't buy free as in freedom software. You can't make any serious profit by selling free software. Creating games costs money.
So is this the end for pc gaming?
Should I move to consoles if I wanna play games for free?

I know they are of course working on it you retard. I'm asking if they specifically gave their word on it, I'm interested in knowing what progress has been made.

That's kinda fair when that dumb decision is to let the free market handle it. Oh yeah, sure, let's deregulate, let's privatise, what's the worst that could happen, it's not like we had regulations for a reason.

Piracy rate in Poland in one of the highest in Europe. Almost nobody in Poland buys games. It's a fact. That is why most polish dev studios spend all their money on marketing in the US.

>People don't buy free as in freedom software.
A sever license for RHEL costs hundreds or thousands of dollars to install on one computer. RHEL is still free software though. Ardour is another example of someone making money off selling free software.
>Creating games costs money.
Yes, sometimes the community does make games though and release them for free, expecting no profit. Games like Xonitic or Super Tux Kart.
>>273009673
Yes. You are free to not buy the game.
That's it. If you have moral objections to the product, don't buy it.
>>273009483
Why are you shitposting? I sincerely want to understand what drives you to say stupid shit on purpose. To make people mad? I mean, I guess you find it funny? I'll never get it. If you're going to respond with more stupid shit like, "You just can't argue it :^)" don't bother, because I'm not responding to it.

I wont buy it, I will download it for free.
>>273009629
>You can't make any serious profit by selling free software.
You totally can, but not in the current structure. Which most publishers don't want to change. Can't really, by sheer amount of inertia from their size.
But then one terribly disagreeable truth is that a structure for which that could work would be much closer to the game as service model than the game as product.

See you're missing another point: it makes them irate that we can pirate. Which is a fair backlash when it makes us irate that they can fuck us up whenever they want because they hold the production means.
Pirating is not purely an economical endeavor. It's also a politically motivated one. It's a big fuck you message sent back for one received.

Every Denuvo implementation is different for every game. If it takes 100 days to crack one title it will take 100 days to crack another.
>>273009989
Newsflash, devs have always made shit for a quick buck and the problem got worse with piracy because everyone had access to the games and only a small fraction would pay for them so devs had pump shit out on a very frequent basis. This way they have to create a customer base that will stick around and pay for their products so they will have to be careful with what they pump out. You might not like it but Denuvo will spring us forth to a new golden age of gaming.
>>273010245

>>273010182
If you ever made a habit of pirating games your opinions on them have been skewed by money from the get-go. Money should have no bearing on your evaluation of a game.

Okay, I don't really know about Poland, but I lived in Latvia on minimum wage when it was still like 250 euros. It's hard to live like that man, buying games isn't even an option.
