Yes, DRM only hurts the paying customers. 99% of the people that would pirate this game wouldn't have bought anyway.

If I could pirate it and try it for myself I may have been convinced to pay quite a bit of money for it based on how good it might have been, I've done that before. As it is, I can't so I'm just gonna wait til its impulse purchase tier price, $5. Great job Bethsoft, you're really making bank with your DRM.

Pirating a game BECAUSE of DRM is like breaking into a house BECAUSE it has a home security system.

It's foolhardy at best, and it makes the DRM self-justifying at worst. Either way, you're an idiot.

No Denuvo has only hurt pirates. All those rumors about killing SSDs where false. I have bought lots of Denuvo games and have had no issues. And shut the fuck up with "oh pirates would not buy it anyway so I should just have the game for free XD". That is such a cop out and you know it.
>>
>>339424285
Because the very concept that I, as a paying customer, am treated like a criminal is insulting to me.

The fact that, after purchasing something, I am not just granted access to it, but forced to jump through hoops and be electronically babysat to make sure I'm not doing anything naughty with it, is disgusting. I don't understand how other people can stand it, but I can't, and I don't purchase or install games that have uncracked DRM. When DOOM is cracked, I'll buy it, install it, and then crack it. If it's on my computer, I want to have control over it, and use it how I see fit. Not how some company says I should be allowed to use it.

Look you guys can love Denuvo all you want. What makes me mad about Denuvo in the future is when these games stop being sold. You can't buy Cryostasis anymore. I don't want that to happen to MGSV, DOOM, or any other Denuvo game to not be playable in the future because a bunch of fucking lawyers realized they don't have the copyright anymore so they pull it from the online stores.

FUCK THAT FUTURE

>>339426049
I'm not being paranoid. I'm sure the game is functional and I doubt it would do any damage to my computer if I installed it. It's the principle of the thing.

If there was a store where the manager made you lick his boots and called you a worthless piece of shit every time you made a purchase, would you shop there? Would the overall quality of the products be your main consideration?

I can understand your complain (being forced to install another third party DRM software and/or being forced to activate your game on a third party website and/or having a limited amount of installs IS being called a worthless piece of shit while you lick the manager boots), but Denuvo isn't intrusive like other anti-piracy systems.

That's a pretty extreme analogy.

All Denuvo does, all ANY form of DRM is trying to do, is make sure the people who buy the game can play it, and the people who don't, can't. That's it.

It's the digital equivalent of being handed the keys to your new car.
>>
I won't buy any Denuvo games on principal

There is no actual proof of piracy truly hurting game sales, and if a game can't be cracked it could eventually be lost forever if the verification servers are taken offline. From a preservationist standpoint Denuvo is fucking cancer

Uncrackable DRM is supposed to get more people to buy the game instead of pirate it, but with the amount of options of games to buy these days, why would you need to when there are other games out there that you would be willing to pay for that you want to play too?

>>
>>339426808
You do make a good point. If one is choosing to avoid Denuvo not based on any practical concern, but on principle, then they should be avoid any other DRM mechanism as well, including Steam itself.

I find it weird that some people still don't think of Steamworks this way. Even the Takedown developers promised a "drm free" version to their backers, but ended up being only on Steam since they didn't consider it as DRM. They later offered to make an alternate version for individual backers who wanted it off Steam, but nobody ended up giving a shit since the game was garbage.
>>
>>339429535

Yes, except for the literal monetary waste in implementing the DRM solution, in addition to hurting the future existence of the title if verification servers go down with the company in the future (only talking in the instance of DRM like denuvo). The idea that a game might not exist forever like many of the movies lost in time is fucked

I'm okay with 'light' DRM that inevitably will be cracked in the future. Paranoid publishers can feel like they're getting everyone to buy their game at the start (where most sales occur) and the game can be saved for future generations after it's been cracked

If publishers put out a version with Denuvo and then something like maybe a year later released a DRM-free version I wouldn't be so down on it, but we know with the increased resources to put out another version of a game that isn't gonna happen

You're right, that is a problem.

But it's always amazing to me how, when people use this, or really, any "DRM hurts the game!" arguments, they always gloss over the fact that DRM, at least, to this game-damaging extent, wouldn't even be a thing if people didn't pirate to begin with.

I suppose I agree with that. Someone working for Denuvo (iirc) themselves said that they know Denuvo will be cracked eventually, their goal is to secure sales around initial time of release. So I could even think of Denuvo the same way.

Problem is, it's not actually being cracked. Or at least taking long enough to make me worry.

Not really.

Denuvo works through Valve and Origin, and there's no fucking way these billion dollar Merchants would sign off on a product that could potentially keep them from selling their iconic products down the line.

If Denuvo goes under, it's almost a certainty that it'll be unlocked through Steam.

It hasn't been cracked yet, and most of /v/ is underage or NEET, so they have no disposable income of their own.

That is how it works, though.

While installing the game through Steam, it goes through Steam and activates the game through the DRM server.

But the game WILL eventually be cracked, like every game. There is no game in existence that was lost because of DRM.

Just because the scene has moved on doesn't mean it can't ever be cracked.

Besides, this isn't the early 90's where the source code just gets thrown away or where you need the physical copy to acquire it. It's going to remain in Zenimax's databases until they go out of business. Even in the worst case scenario where the game is literally uncrackable, I'm sure they'd be more than willing to provide an archival copy assuming correct security procedure was followed. They're not gonna care too much about stopping piracy of this game five years from now.

I think your average /v/astard can afford to buy a game like DOOM. It's just that they prefer to spend their money with something else.
Funnily, I think that validates Denuvo's existence. If someone really wants to play DOOM, he/she has no choice but to pay for the product. Meanwhile people who never intended to pay for it isn't going to use your product for free.

DESU I'd never buy a game with Denuvo, but that's me, I'd be very disappointed if FFXV went the Denuvo route or any other game I really wanted, but I'm lucky that only AAA garbage uses Denuvo, so I didn't really lose anything yet.

While that's not UNtrue, it's extremely difficult to prove, and in a universe where piracy doesn't exist, you can replace the word "Piracy" with "Competition" or simply "Other games" and the statement would still be true.

Are CD key sites more or less scummy than outright piracy? I nabbed up Mafia 3, the next Deus Ex, Overwatch, Bus Simulator 2016, and mirror's edge sequel all for 150 USD. The games I have received have all been unlocked and okay fine.

>>339431314

If I had multiple prior negative experiences with the same product (in this case a video game, games with denuva) I'm going to come up with ways to avoid them again if I can. A simple way to do that would be to assume that if the game uses something that I originally found distasteful. Pay attention to that, and avoid that thing the next time around.

A rare game with official mod support when the vast majority of PC games don't?

Denuvo is anti-tamper technology. You can't do shit with the game files, so if a company decides they don't want to support mods, or even if they just don't care in the first place, you're out of luck.

It's likely the same with Warhammer too. They probably just have a modding API or some shit that reads external files. I imagine if something's not in their implementation, you can't do it.
>>
>>339432028
That's right. Or you might tamper with Denuvo. People behind Just Cause 3 MP had to hook up with the devs to bypass it.

That's the only valid excuse.

The original DOOM has survived all these years, because there was a community of talented programmers that made tons and tons of mods for this game. Snapmap internal mod made by Bethesda is so limited and it's pretty hard to make a good map with a limited number of pieces. Anyway I like this ne w DOOM, despite the multiplayer, Snapmap CoOp are not all that bad, if you play with friends. If you want I've made a montage of the campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOG-J-jWLcY

buy it if you want to but make sure to support DRM-free whenever you can. If Doom was on GOG I would be all over that, that's for sure.

Since Steam is technically DRM I never buy games full price on that store. On GOG, however, I buy games full price to support the devs and DRM-free games in general.

The game's too pricey were I live and I can't just shell out cash on a game I'm not even sure will work on my PC. Since I can't pirate it to try it out, I'm not buying it either.

If a game is good, it'll sell well all the same. I won't support this bullshit DRM.

The modern version of Denuvo is kind of a beautiful thing.

It really is the pirate's worst nightmare.

It's impossible (Or at least extremely difficult) to crack
And it has zero, or next to zero impact on the end buyer.

Used to be, you could just point at Gamespy, or Uplay or just the newest Sim City and go "Yeah, that sucks right?" and be totally justified. But the new Denuvo, if nobody on /v/ said anything about it, 98% of the people who bought games with it wouldn't even know. For the people who buy it, it's entirely a non-issue.
Which is a worst-case-scenario for pirates, because that was the last moral leg they had to stand on. Now they have nothing.

Really, the fact that it is, as of this moment, uncrackable, is just icing on the cake.

Wildstar
Elder Scrolls: OnlineLegendary Edition
Todds Meme Game 2015
Mass Effect 3
Project CARS Well, wasn't that big of a loss. Backed the project and actually made money even though the game itself was quite shit.

Ratchet & Clank

Uncharted 4
F1 2015
Dragon Age 2

These are games I bought because one of the following reasons:

1: Have played previous installations and liked them
2: Believed the hype
3: Friends were getting it

It doesn't stop stinging. The fact that you lost money and that you gave money to some bullshit company that thinks it did a good job.

It's funny to think that there are people who believe they know more about what's going on with a company's bank sheet and profit margins than the companies themselves.

If they keep investing into Denuvo and adding it to their games, it is most probably because they see a definite net benefit through their own research. These are people who got where they are by being good at making money, and they like to stay that way by sticking with choices that do make them more money.

They make many millions of dollars; you don't. They know if Denuvo has made a positive difference to their sales or not; you don't.

Yeah, well, you didn't see the concept art before the release. I have some people on LinkedIn and Skype that worked on the original two games and did some art for the third that sent me a lot of cool shit, such as pic related. I imagined a lot cooler shit happening, the way people told me it was going to be more like Origins, less like the second one.
It had every right to be a good game and at times it does feel like it.
But its like pressing a button that has a 1/100 to dispense a cookie. Other times the machine pours shit and in order to continue, you have to eat the shit up. And then you find out the actual cookie isn't even that good. It's better than the shit but then you remember you could've just left and go to the store to buy actual cookies.
