Denuvo wants to convince you its DRM isn’t “evil”
(arstechnica.com)
Private property was a mistake.
Yes it was. I think you're getting down voted because people are considering private property with personal property.
Your stuff that's there so you can live your life? Personal property.
Stuff that's held from the common but isn't for the purpose of someone living their life? That's private property.
the thing that I hate from denuvo is I need to connect to the Internet for the first time just want to play the game which is quite annoying for my Steam Deck.
They should stop making really shitty DRM then
They could tell me it actually makes games run faster, I'm still not going to buy games with their anti consumer cancer in it (except for the .001% chance I really want to play that game)
It's about the (potential) inconvenience, not how "evil" it is.
even if the glorified rootkit denuvo puts out had 0% impact on game performance it still would be "evil" as it mere existence broadens surface area for potential attacks on your system

- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
