      It’s so frustrating that Japanese developers are either so out of the loop with treating PC gamers with a iota of respect, OR they get contracts that they don’t understand that fuck over real buyers.

    Sad DRM noises. Just wait till Denuvo gets bought out or closes.

        Pirate sea shanty being sung in the background as pirates break the DRM and have a better experience than people that actually paid for the game

          I’m sorry to pop your bubble but while Denuvo sucks for consumers, it actually works at least on the PC front. Many cracks you would see require emulators since the pc ports are pretty solidly protected. Like Total war warhammer 3 is still uncracked after 2 years.

            That’s because there aren’t many Denuvo crackers out there (most notably Empress) and unless it’s a huge title or a new title it’s not going to be a priority for the rare few that do it. Empress has her followers vote on what to crack next.

            Related to why FitGirl doesn’t generally do repacks of games using Denuvo, as FitGirl and Empress have a sort of ongoing feud that leads to FitGirl not using Empress cracks.

    Fucking Denuvo lol. Capitalist pigs answer to getting people to buy shit they wouldn’t have in the first place.

    Don’t. buy. games. with. Denuvo. (or any DRM, but Denuvo is the worst)

    Most titles on GOG and itch.io are DRM-free. You can also subscribe to this Steam group to see which games use Denuvo and avoid them.

      I’d also recommend joining GamesThatHateYou and following the curator since it’ll tell you if a game stopped using Denuivo or just switched to a different but similarly terrible DRM.

    For anyone who wants to avoid games that do this kind of shit I can’t recommend the following steam curators enough.

    • Denuvo Games
    • GamesThatHateYou

    They also tell you if a game has had Denuivo in the past and has removed it, in case you don’t just want to avoid Denuivo but developers who use it or ever did in the past.
