i believe most of them do, since it's a subscription service and is generally only worth the cash for the opening few months where 90% of your sales are made

They sometimes do, but many never do. Still plenty of older games on Steam that have never been cracked because of it. Especially from big companies like EA and Ubisoft.


In case anyone got the game from CDKeys:

So, maybe not at 5 sharp but this translates to 5 to 6 pm PST, or within the next two hours.

I'm sure that's true, but I got the game way after release and while average framerate was at least okay, the stuttering was completely ludicrous. Every time it happens it just instantly takes you out of the experience. Feels cheap, lovely, and even makes some people feel ill. No setting did a single thing to help.

Ah, that explains it. You just missed how insanely bad it was at release. Even average framerate was terrible. Was probably the worst performance I've ever gotten from a major game release (relative to graphics quality and hardware).

Maybe DD2 will dethrone it? We shall see.

See how the shoulders are slightly different? That means the "flesh" color is a giant tattoo enlarged to cover the fur, looks like with the shine turned up to make it more skin like.

If denuvo were clever they'd make the download shared versions have denuvo but paying customers get the clean version.

Someone would have to buy it first to make a pirated copy so how would that even work?

Just tell them you're experiencing a medical emergency and set your status to offline. Re-emerge if and when you've done everything there is to do in DD2. Problem solved.

If there is a single copy of any game anywhere that is given to the public without Denuvo, it'll be instantly pirated. This recently happened with Lies of P, the developer (accidentally it seems) uploaded a version to steam for a patch that didn't have Denuvo and now it's available to torrent. They probably didn't lose that much from it though, if someone was going to buy the game they likely already would've a while ago.

In fact, I'd suggest that all games after a year or so should remove Denuvo. Who cares at that point.

I was just making a joke because I hate not owning software we purchase, hate the DMCA and it's ilk, hate income inequality and support poor folks playing whatever they can possibly download. Not to mention download sharing is a boon to the economy, except for industries based around fear mongering and selling the cure like Denuvo.

I didn't know that about lies of P though, that's fantastic, hope to see it happen more. Recently there was a great show that was finished and ready to air, but was getting shelved for shady tax tricks, except someone accidentally uploaded an episode which meant they were legally obligated to air the rest. Funny show too, Killing It.

I can see both. Switch his hairstyle for a ponytail and you've got Furio from The Sopranos. Or give him slick-backed hair for Odo from Deep Space Nine

4 more hours for the PS5 unlock. I am so hyped. The original game is one of my favorites of all time. I can't wait. I am preloaded and ready to go!

I have to work Friday-Sunday night sadly. So Im gonna play all night tonight once it unlocks, and then just be sad all weekend waiting to play more. Probably start over on Monday :D
