With pirates or not the games are not so good like in old good days!!!
Not so many buy Just Cause 3: 405.000 vs Fallout 4 2.805.000 copies.
Without piracy the devs&publishers will make same bunch of bad games(EA,Ubisoft and so on).With piracy the devs&publishers will always says the pirates destroys the market but its not true.
Some people pirate the games because of money or because of non-existance of demo versions.

I too believe that chances for this to be good or bad for all gamers is 50-50.
Demos can't be released anymore due to the size of games' assets..
(the only similar to demo is "early access" nowday..)
I only hope -if this will really happen- that Steam will not change the terms of refunds...
People don't create,we make stuff using already known assets with different methods, we modify stuff, we develop stuff and we define undefined ones
but I agree with the word "destroy"..

I will test the game first! Not going to waste my hard earned money on rubbish games like I have done in the past, if the game is worthy I will buy it sorry but I just don't like to gamble with little money I earn.

Well, they shouldn't need to put a protection on games if they priced the game in each country according to their income.

meh, only a matter of time before Denuvo is destroyed. It's not the first time we hear news like this. Happened with previous supposedly "uncrackable" protections.

Matters little to me.
Ever since I've began to earn money I've started paying for all my stuff. May it be games or *gasp* music.
That said, the following guidelines keep me a happy consumer:
- Don't ever be a day one adopter
- Don't support Origin/UPlay in any shape or form
- Don't consume yearly iteration of long running series (AC, Fifa, COD, etc.)
- Only play the games you actually want to play (I for one don't play Shooters or games such as GTA / Just Cause / Infamous etc. and no offline MMOs such as DA 3)
- Only buy titles for what you deem them worth (I won't pick up FO4 before it drops beneath 30€ minimum)
- Don't buy half-assed console ports
Realistically however, everything is likely to be cracked eventually. Question remaining is whether or not it'll be worth the effort on the cracker's side. If not, well, better adopt some guidelines of your own 😉

Didn't they say that about Securerom? 😀

For very popular single player games they will always find a way. Plus we have services like GoG that only sell DRM free games, which means those games will always be available.

take this with a pinch of salt - reverse engineers will get there eventually, just a matter of time

Never mind then, I guess talking about cracks in a thread about it is out the window 🤓.

I remember reading similar statements for securom 7, staforce, and the server ubi had for ac2. Don't care.
I don't appreciate it when studios add another layer of drm on top of steam's ceg and don't disclose it either. I would never have bothered with arkham knight if I had known it will have denuvo. I never bought securom protected titles and I will never buy denuvo protected titles.
Denuvo's grand daddy is blocked in windows 10, one day this crap will likely cause trouble and there is no guarantee the developer will come back to fix it.
They rarely release demos these days, I've downloaded so many games and bought it after playing for an hour or so and then continuing it on steam after buying. Just recently I played helldivers with bigtime after downloading a pirated copy. I would never have bothered otherwise.

"I can only wish this to actually be true, but i doubt it, people will always find a way"
My games have been legit after I grew up and got a job. But this is bad for kids and teens(especially from poorer families) who just cant buy the games anyway and might never grow into gaming as they cannot start young.
The other issue is of course for legit gamers. These kind of DRMs make performance of games noticeably worse than in games without DRM. Even after removing weaker DRMs games have seen big performance boosts. You also pay more for games because of DRM, because DRM technologies aren't free. The few (or in this case only) working solutions comes with a serious price tag for the legit players.
This too. But lucky for us MS is plain hostile against DRM which alter OS functionality in any way or have potential security issues.

Real quick, just want to add in no talk of piracy please. Don't care your reasons for it, just please don't do it.
