Would you rather want...
1. a DRM that only lets you play a game technically on one single machine, making machine to machine file copies useless for pirates.
or
2. a DRM which requires a gaming interface (Steam, Origin, etc) to be on, but can be file copied from machine to machine and still be playable.
>>322094386
neither
>>322094386
>wanting DRM
Goddamnit pepe
>>322094386
Why would anyone want either of those?
DRM never benefits the player.
>>322094513
>>322094560
>>322094656
I'm talking about if you only had the choice of having DRM in a game and nothing else.
In this situation, you are working for a company (let's say Jewnami), and you have to include DRM in your game or you are fired.
>>322094806
I'd turn 360 degrees and walk away
>not understanding the purpose of hypothetical two-option decision exercises
The point is for you to determine what your values are based on a hierarchy of which values are more important to you.
>Denuvo vs. Steam Authentication
Clearly this is a thinly veiled MGSV vs. FO4 thread.
Good job OP.
>>322094885
>what your values are based on a hierarchy of which values are more important to you.
well what's most important to me is not having DRM
so my unwillingness to choose between two unfavorable outcomes is indicative of my values
deal with it
>>322094386
>a DRM that only lets you play a game technically on one single machine, making machine to machine file copies useless for pirates.
not possible
>>322095135
You are being deliberately obstuse. You are not participating in the thought exercise.
>>322095153
Technically, it is
See: Denuvo
Cryptographic executable packer based on the type of hardware you have in your machine.
If you had MGSV, and upgraded your video card.... lets say from GTX 750 to AMD R390X... you need to reinstall the game as Denuvo locks you out as the grabbed hardware-based decryption hashes (after you upgraded the video card) wouldn't be able to decrypt the game.
>>322095381
How would you put that on a disc for console though? And what, it installs permanently in you hard drive? Why wouldn't you just uninstall it? Or would it check your MAC address against a database on their servers? How would you play it if the servers went down? It's the same thing as always online.
>>322095381
oh yeah,it also pokes at your timezone so that you can't play your precious game when moving to japan to fulfill the life of being a 24/7 weeb
>>322095513
>How would you put that on a disc for console though?
You simply can't. Denuvo was designed ONLY for Windows-based machines.
>>322095513
>console
adults are talking
go to bed
>>322095381
What?
I upgraded my card from a 770 to a 980 the week I was playing MGSV and I didn't have any issues
>>322095650
Feel free to answer the questions that are actually relevant to the PC master race though
>>322094386
Neither, I just don't play the game.
>>322095681
>"The group suggested that the technology involves a "64-bit encryption machine" that requires cryptographic keys unique to the specific hardware of each installed system."
Huh? I guess it's involved with your CPU then.
>>322095381
>wouldn't be able to decrypt the game
so what you're saying is "Make a magical DRM that's unavoidable and works 1000000% of the time and has a force field"
>>322095615
>Denuvo was designed ONLY for Windows-based machines.
Only because people using Linux have full control to almost all software in their PC.
If Linux was a yet another restrictive closed source OS like Windows then Denuvo would exist for it.

>the dragon age inquisition crack was first exclusive to a certain range of i5 and i7 chipsets
No shit
>>322094884
You'd turn completely around and walk at them?
>>322095787
That DRM does involve your CPU, sadly.
My copy of MGSV crashed and never started when I switched from AMD to Intel CPUs. Thankfully a reinstall could fix it
>>322094386
Obviously the second one. I experience both with having multiple 3DSes and using steam, origin, etc., and the first one is really fucking annoying.
It's 2015. You can get free wifi in a fucking starbucks or a mcdonalds. Steam lets you play shit offline as long as you were online at some point, which you'd have to be to get the game in the first place.
>>322095153
>not possible
Ever owned a 3DS, dipshit? Your digital games are tied to the Nintendo Network ID you buy them with, and the NNID can only be activated on a single 3DS at any time.
Not possible my ass. We're in fucking space with photographs of pluto and shit and this motherfucker thinks it's literally impossible to tie software to one specific piece of hardware. Fuck outta here.
>>322095787
Really? I changed both my gpu and cpu a few weeks ago and I played it fine
>>322096769
That doesn't even make any sense.

huh
>have digital games on my WiiU/3DS
>can't put them on any other console without removing the account from the original console as well
there's the first option

>we can all play each others' games as long as the libraries aren't being used
>I have steam installed on my desktop and laptop and can switch between them completely freely and could have more PCs with the account activated
I think the answer of which one is better is pretty fuckin obvious
>>322094386
Basically

>>322094806
>let's say Jewnami
Is this a joke? Konami no longer makes video games.
>>322096993
Did I say it makes sense? It's bullshit, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. I spent an entire day trying to find a way to log into my original NNID and download ORAS onto my new 3DS XL, and it just legitimately won't let you. You have to do a transfer using the infared or something, and it wipes the old 3DS when you do.
>>322097063
My god you fucking autist it was literally just any company related to video games
>>322094386
I have Origin, Steam and UPlay all going at teh same time
So far I've had 0 problems with them
Just my 2 copper
