Now here is a pleasant surprise. Three One Zero and 505 Games have announced that they have removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from their Unreal Engine-powered first-person adventure game, ADR1FT.
ADR1FT was released back in March 28th 2016, and it took more than a year for the teams to remove this anti-tamper tech that has annoyed a lot of PC gamers. For what it’s worth, the game had already been cracked so there wasn’t any reason at all for 505 Games to keep using it. And this is something that more publishers and developers should realize.
In ADR1FT, players flat silently amongst the wreckage of a destroyed space station with no memory and a severely damaged EVA suit slowly leaking oxygen. Players fight to stay alive by exploring the wreckage for precious resources, and overcome the challenges of an unforgiving environment to repair the damaged EEV and safely return home.
Enjoy!

Better late than never. Hopefully they make a DRM free version and a Linux version at some point as well.
In other news 4 other games launched in the past 7 days that uses denuvo. And i don’t get why waste money, time and the possiblility of slowing down your game like we’ve seen in Rime. It’s not like they are stoping pirates playing for free they are just delaying the inevitable, for what, a few days!? I best case a game has no interest so it won’t get cracked for a longer time (Fernbus Simulator, Handball 17)
I think most Publishers know that their game with Denuvo will get cracked shortly after release. They seem to be counting on initial sales being higher when first released and people being unable to pirate the game. They think some will buy the game who otherwise would pirate it just because they can’t wait until it gets cracked. As always with the Publishers they offer no proof that they make any more money by using Denuvo and I don’t think there is a way to prove it even if it were true anyway.
Publishers are sometimes like a dog chasing it’s tail.
Shame the Steam verion still doesn’t have Oculus Touch controllers support… Lazy developers.
Yeah, I got a Steam refund after finding out about this.
Is that the case for Oculus store version too?
No, The touch controllers work on Oculus store.
Thanks.
pirates are scums except the ones that can’t afford the game
Whats the point in keeping Denuvo if the game is already cracked?
they’re still degenerates for using Denovu at the first place
i swear every company does this so they can gain free PR by “removing denovu” from their game
they should get $hit for using it in the first place, go GOG or f**k off
Progressive hipster sjws with one of them being part of xbone always online defenders. Studio shut down pretty fast. Devs like this and dear esther, everybody has gone to the rapture, gone home, tacoma, firewatch who make 1-2 hour walking sims should never be supported and go bankrupt.
On some popular German warez sites, example where you can download from OCHs (one click hoster) there are only about 500-1500 hits for certain popular AAA titles and OCHs are very popular in Germany (torrents are officially ilegall). Whats that compared to millions and millions sold units? I wont say that DRM cant stop some pirates (some of them end up buying the games) but in general, its waste of money and time…. sometimes even performance.
if they made it always online it wouldn’t be “waste of money and time”
but as soon as they do that pirates are going to start thousands of topic all over the internet claiming to be legitimate customers and that they’re about to boycott that specific company/developer.
Very few if any pirates have bought a game, because of DRM.
They just wait for the crack, and play another game while they wait.
Piracy has always been used as an excuse for poor sales, which are actually due to bad games, or bad marketing.
It’s used by publisher’s attempting to placate their investors.
The only partially successful DRM, has caused much more problems to owners than any pirate. Pirates never see DRM, as it’s removed when they get the game.
Contrary to what many owners think, the ones who complain about DRM, are other owners.
Pirates never see it, and the cracking groups see it as a challenge, and get more credit, for removing DRM.
It’s got so bad that DRM is l obviously causing worse sales, especially Denuvo.
Which is why it’s being removed.
i’m a legitimate customer, i never had problem with denuvo, drm belongs on PC where people defend piracy, like you that other guy, duka duka and others like you
More DRM and additional added stuff (unnecessarily or necessarily) equals more overhead and bloatware, less efficiency, less performanse, more conflict with mods….. its common sense. For me, thats a BIG NO NO for PC as an “open, limitless” platform. Basically, in long term…. pirates are becoming a better product and thats for lifetime and legitimate customers are screwed. For me, thats a insult and the same goes for all those exclusive contents for an specific platform etc. and yeah…… I have a problem with that.
Like I said…. If the game ends up being CRACKED there is really no excuse in keeping any DRM. Anti-piracy measurements sure can help them in first crucial days/month (depends) but keeping it forever is just dumb for us as supporters.
You are looking at pirates/hackers/crackers only from the negative side….. but think for a moment, If there is no scene, no hackers and crackers in general cryptographics and security would be like in early 80s and developers would be just lazy, passwords for example would still be stored in plain text and so on. Basically, they are forcing them to present better products…..
I’m not looking at hackers from “negative side”, hackers have my respect because they at least have some talent, it’s pirates, leeches of society that i cannot endure.
i don’t play on consoles
you are a pirate not a PC gamer, you love piracy not freedom.
no and i don’t want to because you probably have thousands of $0.01 2d anime and card games or games that are so old you can get them for under $5.
He has almost 5000 games on Steam and he has many good games.
most of them are probably trash, i’ve been buying every singe triple a game and famous indie games since 2009 and i barely have 2000, trash collector teenager who probably has a thing for steam level too.
first two pages of my csgo inventory should worth more than all of his library.
Whatever about denuvo, this an underrated game.
Scene groups have become exceedingly proficent at circumventing Denuvo and most people who wants cracked copies of the games know this.
Personally, I dislike Denuvo not only because of the DRM but also because it creates incentive for developers and publishers to go for draconian measures instead of trying to appease pirates and regard them as the potential customers they are. Sure, some will keep going for pirated copies but I think a lot of people could be swayed into buying games if they are affordable and without DRM.
If every (quality) PC game got released on GOG, then I’d be… well, overjoyed.
