DX:MD was cracked too. This type of DRM is literal cancer, and it helps no one. It also kills any proper attempt at preserving games. There are also A LOT of first world countries where the right to keep a copy of the work is part of copyright law, hence DRM is basically breaking the law.

Well said, as usual! Hear hear!!

I remember the day when virtually every AAA title had a demo, and one could both rent games from the video store and lend out your copy to a friend. It must have KILLED AAA publishers bottom line back then! 😛

Every time you played a demo, a dev slept hungry that night.

All this DRM shit is gona drive me away from PC gameing as my dominated gaming means I been slowly moving back to console game soley cause i dont want to deal with DRM shit, despited the fact, 1080p60fps still a pipe dream alot console games are still 30 fps

Good, now crackers can focus their efforts on VMPROTECT. Ubisoft don't deserve a single cent for their crap software

I have so many cd cases filled with playstation demo's that come with playstation magazines and lots and lots of pc demos too that come with pc gaming magazines back in the day... I loved trying demo's so much, just to see what is new. These days it seems the demo is watching other people play the game on youtube.

And if you like the game, you hit the like button and subscriiibe to their channel! Apparently Denuvo has been sold off. We're totally supposed to trust them. Urgh. https://torrentfreak.com/denuvo-has-been-sold-to-global-anti-piracy-outfit-irdeto-180123/

The protection is used in many triple-A games like Assassin’s Creed: Origins, Football Manager 2018, Need for Speed Payback, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Injustice 2 and Star Ocean: The Last Hope HD Remaster.

Oh yes! Now I can use the games to enjoy the great single player campaign of SW:BF2! Oh wait... 🙄 On a more serious note, I'm proud of Noctua being Austrian, but Denuvo also... I guess it's light and dark everywhere.

I'm just hoping one day they don't get cracked. And before anyone starts going on emotional on me about how DRM is bad and etc. If you think there's a world where DRM doesn't exist, you live in a make-believe world. That would doesn't, and will never exist. So what does that mean? It means as long as DRMs keep getting cracked, they'll continue to get more intrusive. I have no desire to see DRM continue to be cracked just so the DRM can get worse.

DRM is about trying to control the release, not piracy. Thinking it wouldn't have gone this route if no one cracked a game or anything else is the fantasy.

Where did i say it wouldn't go this route? Don't put words in my mouth. And DRM is to control piracy. The only reason to "control the release" is to control piracy.

Nothing wrong with DRM so long as it not plainly obvious it effecting the game performance, which at this point it is, fact of the mater is DRM dont workand certain game develops have figure this out already just like they figure out these DRM hurt game performance and mainly effect the paying customer only. Stacking DRM isnt gona stop "piracy" from happening if anything it make they go harder at. and to counter that they gona stack "more" drm and further effect. game performance. I dont want to see this becoming vicious cycle anymore then people want to see this mining crazy force manufactures to 2 double there retail price for gpu, just for just other to double those price just for the manufacturers to double there retail prices again.

Except that actually gets you somewhere, the DRM has been proven by studies (which were suppressed by the government, scumbags) to be ineffective in actually generating more profit. I despise Denuvo so much that the only thing it's done is prevent me from buying games. It's a key reason why I almost didn't order FF XV even at a large discount. DRM has never made me buy a game that I wouldn't have bought otherwise.
