    They’re not. And now they don’t get to play it for free either.

    Win-win.

      all the would-be pirates now having to actually pay

      You think pirates are going to pay for this shit? They were never going to pay to begin with, what makes you think they’re going to pay for it now?

      They’re not.

      Way to contradict yourself in literally the next comment. Clearly you are a shill and not a serious person.

        You made great points!

        @rhoeri@lemmy.world 's entire persona is to argue w people, then get mad, tell on them, and stomp away because he can’t people banned off all of Lemmy.lololol I’m glad so many people here are downvoting him. He’s finally realizing that people aren’t putting up w his bullshit anymore. He’ll get banned from somewhere and then just say variations of “I didn’t like them anyway so I blocked them!”

        Check out his moderation history, it’s a wild ride. He brings so much toxic negativity to Lemmy. lol

          I’m not allowed to argue with you here or I’ll get banned, but do go ahead and bad faith your way through the entirety of the ToS agreement.

          I’m well aware of who moderates this comm and the bias in .world. So enjoy the freedoms that comes with preach bullshit to the pasture.

          I won’t apologize for having a different opinion, despite the angry kids that it outrages. A different opinion is no reason to remain silent.

          Enjoy the hive.

            Just accept that your argumentative style and habit of putting people down are unwelcome here. So much of your post history is of you complaining. You’re being negative and toxic to the Lemmy community. Look at all your downvotes in this thread.

            Your mod history doesn’t paint a pretty picture! lol Doesn’t that tell you something about what people on Lemmy think of you and the way you talk to people? You need to take a break from Lemmy or something. You this angry in your real life? Ick.

              You’re saying I have “put people down”….

              LMAO!

              I guess we’ll ignore the personal attacks you have made toward me. Shit that I would have gotten banned for by the way. There’s a very well known bias here bud. You don’t see it because you’re part of it. And a moderator that has biases as well. None of any of the shit that violates the rules against me will be removed, because I know how it works.

              and my mod history only proves how the unpopular opinion isn’t welcome on lemmy. I’m not here to make friends and get karma. Oftentimes, I simply don’t agree with popular opinion. Should I not speak my mind?

              Additionally, If we’re here in bad faith, I’d have deleted my comments long ago. I have the strength of conviction to stick to my opinion for better or worse. I don’t care that it’s unpopular. I don’t care that it’s downvoted and disliked. I feel the way I do because that how I see the situation. And my opinion is that the entire thing is blown out of proportion by those that would be denied access by the very thing they whine about.

              Benchmarks have been made and published that show negligible harm in performance. But you all side-step that shit and got upset because I disagreed with you. And on top of that, you all are the ones that lost your shit. Maybe reread the discussion. And leave your bias at the door. It might read differently. I was I insulted by nearly every one of you.

              Simply for disagreeing.

        Pirates weren’t going to buy anyway, so therefore just let them pirate the game.

        Thats your argument?

        So that’s a slap in the face of paying customers. Why not just make the game fee for everyone then? If stupid “what if’s” are allowed.

        And I’m not contradicting shit. You’re crying about a protection the developer put in place to stop people from PLAYING THE GAME FOR FREE. And not crying about the people that caused them to have to do it.

        Fucking laughable.

          Stop sabotaging games for paying customers is the argument. It’s not complicated. You are obviously more interested in trying to stick it to pirates than getting an optimal experience for your money. Pirates will still play it for free in the end anyway.

          Pirates didn’t “cause” anyone to do anything. The developers did it themselves after buying into Denuvo’s scam. Thousands and thousands of dollars paid every month to make up for the unknowable number of “lost sales”. I guess there’s one thing Denuvo does well.

          Also, you did contradict yourself. Will the pirates buy the game or will they not? Make your mind up.

            For denuvo to adversely effect your gameplay, you need to be running some seriously outdated hardware. It sucked the life out of AC Origins, sure…. Almost ten years ago….

            It’s basically a non-issue now.

            The only people crying about it now are would-be pirates that never planned to buy it in the first place. They are people pretending to be on a crusade against the «evil» Denuvo but in reality just angry they now can’t easily pirate the game anymore.

              So Denuvo “basically” doesn’t cause any performance issues, and if it does, its the users fault for having lower end hardware? That’s just ridiculous.

              Calling all critics of Denuvo pirates is nonsense. Not all people who buy games are okay with mandatory online checks, performance hits, and curtailing of mod support.

              Speaking of things that Trumpers do… Falsely accuse all opponents of being domestic terrorists or radical leftists and refuse to accept that they might be wrong.

                What if I told you that’s exactly what they do and get very mad at you calling it out? Where they have an alt also do that to you? @Rhoeri@piefed.world got banned from a community for doing that, and then cried fowl for them breaking the rules.

                While still insisting I’m an alt of some users. Medication and therapy isn’t enough for him. Boomer Facebook brainrot.

      Who exactly “wins” anything here?

      The dev pays for denuvo licenses an doesn’t gain enough sales to make up for it - lose.

      The pirate waits longer to play the game - lose.

      The paying customer gets an inferior product - lose.

        Again, ten years ago there was a performance hit. Now, it’s not even noticeable unless you have severely outdated hardware.

        The only people whining about this are people that would have pirated the game. Tough shit.

            The people who worked their asses off to make a good game deserve to be paid for it. That’s who wins.

            I wouldn’t expect anyone here to give a shit about that though. Enjoy your little memes.

              Which programmer, game designer, graphics designer, voice actor, musician or what have you is paid how much more because they added denuvo? After the fact, mind you, so all the contracts and wages were agreed long ago.

                He can’t answer because he doesn’t want people to play games, he just wants people to pay for DRM spyware.

                  @Rhoeri@lemmy.world also just just wants to argue with people because he’s so unhappy w his life. lololol

                  Then he tells on anyone who disagrees with him! He’s an authoritarian bootlicker through and through.
