Back in October, Ubisoft released Assassin’s Creed: Origins which uses the latest version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Not only that, but Ubisoft has protected Denuvo with VMProtect. The French company has put VMProtect on top of Denuvo. And while some may claim that this implementation is eating additional CPU cycles, Ubisoft has managed to protect its game from pirates for an entire month.
As we’ve already reported, Assassin’s Creed Origins scales well on more than four CPU cores. However, the in-game performance is similar on both quad-core and six-core CPUs. Moreover, there is no performance benefit when Hyper Threading is enabled, even though the game scales even on twelve CPU threads. On November 1st, Ubisoft claimed that the game’s protection system does not have any perceptible effect on performance.
This isn’t something new though. Watch_Dogs 2, another open-world game from Ubisoft, shows the exact same behaviour. However, and contrary to Origins, Watch_Dogs 2 does not use VMProtect over Denuvo; it only uses the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
Now this is a big win for Ubisoft and Denuvo. However, this success is not entirely due to Ubisoft’s VMProtect + Denuvo combo. It appears that Denuvo has issued a new version of its anti-tamper tech; a version that has not been cracked yet by pirates.
The games that are using this new version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech are Sonic Forces, Injustice 2, Football Manager 2018, Need for Speed Payback and Star Wars Battlefront 2. And all of them are still safe from pirates.
Assassin’s Creed Origins is available via UPLAY and Steam. And while we don’t know the exact numbers of its UPLAY sales, we can take a look at its Steam sales. According to SteamSpy’s data, the game has sold so far 367K copies. For comparison purposes, Unity has sold so far 575K copies and Syndicate has sold 452K. As such, we are pretty sure that Origins will top these two previous Assassin’s Creed games. Still, it will be interesting to see whether it will come close to the 1.5 million sales of Black Flag.
Our take on this? It was a really smart move from Denuvo to issue its new version prior to the release of the aforementioned triple-A games. There is no doubt that this new version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech will get cracked. However, it will take a while and this time is enough to guarantee the first and most important sales of the games using it. It’s not a consumer-friendly approach, and we’d prefer if EA, Warner Bros and Ubisoft followed Bethesda’s example. However, we can all agree that – from a business perspective – it was a very smart move!

I’d say even more – Ubisoft managed to protect AssCreed Origins from me personally too – by releasing the exactly same game I’ve played 10
years ago – again.
to be fair its the most modified version of that game, you could argue they improved a bit. It only took them 7 games to do so.
too bad, this is more akin to witcher 3/horizon than anything they’ve done before. for once try to play the damn game before decide if it’s same thing you played years ago.
it’s a very good news for PC gaming as a whole but at what cost?paid customers getting fuked over
how are paid customers getting fuked over that is pure bs it’s a good news regardless
Because we haven’t already been over this a million times?
I guess not.
and the game is still broken mess thats raping CPUs left and right 🙁 and worsens performance each patch
imagine what will be when they release version 2.0 😉
nah..as long as the game it self run fine. so what. already play it without a problem
sure constant 99% cpu rape-usage while gpu sits at 40% is definitely in “runs fine” category :-/
What CPU are you using?
My CPU is nearly maxed out at all times during the game too (and on a 5820K) but my GPU usage never dips below 96% so high CPU usage or not, I’m not being bottlenecked. What CPU are you using?
that has nothing to do with denuvo and vmprotect you f~!king moron
Go to hell.You know nothing.Smells like a denuvo employer here.
Iike there is one
The question is how you managed to have 2 upvotes.I think that’s enough for you.
Every AC game ever release has ran terribly (this was a thing before Denuvo). If you expected anything different, and didn’t check before buying, I don’t know what to tell you.
I’m playing it on PS4 Pro, because I knew better. It’s paid off.
You payed full price for an inferior version of the game and your gloating about it, smh. Console users are beyond stupid. The game runs great at 1440p on my gaming machine (5820k + 1080) and looks way better than your gimped PS4 pro version.
It runs great on my computer too at the same resolution and CPU as you, though with a 1080 Ti. I don’t understand how people are calling this game “broken” after some of the disaster releases we’ve seen in the past five years.
You’re wrong. This year it was time for an upgrade on my PC. Got rid of the old one entirely and just kept my SSDs and my 900W PSU. And I use an XBOX contoller to play my PC games. I can’t stand mouse and keyboard when playing.
But I was seriously considering a console. A Ryzen 1800X with 16GB and a GTX 1070 cost me a lot of money. Just my graphics card could buy the whole console.
And console games are slightly cheaper. And they don’t crash, ever.
Yes, the graphics on a powerful PC are better but only for a couple of years. Then a new game comes out and you need a new graphics card to run it over 60FPS at 1080p.
A console will last until the next console release. It’s that simple.
What EXACTLY is broken? The game uses all of your CPU, yes, and it may or may not have something to do with the DRM, though no such thing has been proven one way or the other, only inferred. But broken? I guess everyone’s standards for a “working game” just keep changing. UNITY was a broken game at launch (though, mind you, it’s actually a REALLY nice game now that it’s been fixed if you give it a try. I love what Ubisoft was going for with that game, even though they were a bit late achieving it. I do hope they try to be that ambitious again some time when they have more than a one year release cycle).
This game runs just fine, even with a frame rate slightly lower than some might wish.
You know what that means right?. They’ll continue to quadruple layer DRM their games and continue to screw over CPU’s in the future, now they know that 4 layer DRM works for them.
good if they use 4 layer drm because the does nothing to cpu like you all pirates morons are whining keep trying
And you’re still putting out these ridiculously pathetic posts, riddled with personal attacks.
Seriously, how are you not banned yet?
same for me re blocked him again
i forgot my password so i have to recreate my account to take the vendetta
Fighting the good fight as always, I see. 🙂
Sorry if I haven’t been active as I used too on DSOGaming. I was and still am a bit busy with some stuff as well as managing my Youtube channel.
Been busy myself lately, actually 😛
Nice to see you again, though ^^
Look, no matter now much you suck corporate c*ck they will not give you a free console or games and will not pay you for your shilling.
That’s funny, how you label me as a pirate so easily.
They could put 100 layer DRM and cracking groups will still try to crack it and probably succeed. They’re just doing it for the fun of it and more informed consumers benefit from it.
Don’t believe for a second this game will be protected forever. It will be cracked sooner or later.
Not that I’d care to be honest. I wouldn’t even pirate Assassin’s Creed Origins if it was cracked, since I think it’s a waste of my time and Internet bandwidth. :))
As a pirate you offended me .
I’m pretty sure I actually have bought most ubisoft games except for ghost recon and primal and maybe a couple others I’m forgetting… Pirated none.
Side note; You know, I got in such a big debate at work last week when I said water is wet.
Bethesda might start using it again now and even if they probably hope they can make use of their paid mod or w/e for some of their games.
Sorry, but Denuvo does not guarantee or secure sales, how is it that indie and DRM free games sell just as much then, it should be rampant with piracy and low sales by AAA’s devs logic. Still is zero proof that DRM improves sales but there is proof that DRM free and no DRM games sell well.
The conclusion is that such AAA game companies using such draconian measures to “protect” their product, are over optimistic of sales or overprotective of their product and think they will lose hundreds of thousands of sales, when in reality those sales are not lost, sales are gained from piracy by the very fact that crackers buy the game, they just share it which breaks the EULA of the software.
but it sure guarantee no pirates which is it is all about and there are many pirates who have bought this game due to denuvo and vmprotect thanks to both
Guaranteed lost sales due to draconian DRM, they lost my sale due to it, that’s one reason why I brought ELEX instead. If you think 4 layers of DRM is good for the customer, you’re a corporate slave and anti consumer.
“there are many pirates who have bought this game due to denuvo and vmprotect thanks to both”
Lol, nope! And there’s plenty of proof to back that up with, but no, please, keep sperging.
Oh man, how wrong you are buddy. Still haven’t purchased this awful excuse for a video game.
It isn’t remotely productive to use such extreme language when you dislike one thing about something….
You think the DRM implementation sucks – fair enough. But to go so far as to label the game “an awful excuse for a video game” ?? I hardly see how that can be true… It’s like other comments you see where people are telling someone “You should just go kill yourself” after one minor disagreement over something really trivial. You take something to the most extreme degree to make a point, where you have no evidence otherwise to back it up. Like calling someone a Nazi white supremacist just because you think they’re slightly rude or you disagree with them.
This game is nicely designed, very fun to play, and has a minimal amount of glitches/bugs. What more defines a decent video game than this?
Maybe that’s called a personal opinion and I think it’s an awful excuse for a video game personally because I’ve played it at a friends house and never would drop a dime on it? You know, it has very little to with DRM.
Just for my own education then, what makes a good video game to you?
What makes Origins an awful excuse for one? I’m just curious, because I’ve seen lots of people that despise other AC games say they really like this one. I find it intriguing that you think it’s an awful excuse for a video game. I could understand not liking it for one reason or another. I personally hate the story, but it’s still a video game that seems to keep most of its players entertained somehow or another.
Sure man, sorry for the late response, got bad nerve problems with my hands.
But to be honest with you, I just think it’s just hated many aspects of it. I don’t find the setting interesting despite it being one that should be interesting, the combat still doesn’t feel “good” in the AC series(I’m not sure what would fix it to be honest), the voice acting wasn’t really all that amazing(like it distinctly sounded low quality, like almost like a low quality MP3 despite them probably using uncompressed sound like every other game these days), the sound overall was rather poor.
Perhaps my language is a bit hyperbolic, and sure it’s not productive but it’s how I honestly feel. I just find what Ubisoft does to be awful now a days, and for some reason I feel like the only game they have now that’s even remotely worthy is in Rainbow Six Siege. That game has some of the most fantastic sound design I’ve heard this Generation.
But I used to produce music before the nerve stuff so I notice the sound aspect of games quite to much, and just like in music it can kill a cd, or for gaming, and game if it doesn’t sound “right” to me. Not even the sound tracks mixing sounded right. I was all in all disappointed because I felt like “Hey eventually they’ll get it right” and boy was I wrong lol.
I agree. The sound was terrible in every way. The quality was low, the voice acting itself was cringewothy, and while the composer, Sarah Schacner, has some nice pieces, they weren’t used very tactfully, not to mention the technical issues with multiple music tracks playing over one another all the time.
I hated the story. I still am not certain what I was supposed to take away from it because of how poorly structured all of the events were. I’d like for future AC games to start anew story wise and forget the events of this one ever occurred. Bayek had no distinctive character traits or defining moments of dialogue, other than the fact that he is very fond of children (not in a Herbert the pervert way lol) and kind towards them. That was it. Otherwise, nothing he did or said made his character stand out at all. Aya, on the other hand had lots of potential, but she was minimally used.
I agree that the setting lacks the mystery and enchantment that one would expect ancient Egypt to have. I thought the world looked really cool and I enjoyed traversing it, but most of the time, I just felt like I was running around through one giant ghetto s***hole and was serving no purpose in the grand scheme of things. They didn’t explain Ptolemy at all or who the guards you’re fighting the whole game are fighting for. The political backdrop was simplified to Cleopatra caring only about advancing herself and, oh yeah, Ptolemy was her little brother. The only era of the game with any sociopolitical depth was the Faiyum region and its missions, touching on the interactions between the Greek and Egyptian cultures merging in that area. There was practically zero featurings of mummies/sarcophagi and their significance in the game also… Imagine that – ancient Egypt where mummies are insignificant.
This game sucked as an AC game, I completely agree. But the world itself and the gameplay apart from the story was solidly executed enough to where I could get through the game completely and enjoy my time doing it. The majority of others say much the same. So while I do agree this is a poor excuse for an AC game, i disagree that it’s a poor excuse for a video game.
See I knew we agreed, you’re just a much more eloquent person to put it bluntly. I’m sure if I owned it, played it for multiple hours, I might change my mind on it being a “poor excuse for a game” and just simply think what you think “It’s a poor excuse for an AC game(which ultimately is the major truth about it)”.
Also I noticed that whole multiple tracks playing on one another and I didn’t know if it was a bug or if somebody at Ubisoft had a stroke and actually made it that way. But thanks for letting me know it’s a bug. Hopefully once it gets fixed it will sound better.
Perhaps one day I’ll buy it on sale like I did with Black Flag, put some time into it and be surprised completely by a change of opinion.
nah it just creates grey market with key activations
This was the naive thinking when Denuvo first hit games. No security is 100% impenetrable. This will get cracked too, given time. If Ubi implements so many more DRM layers in response for future titles and further adversely impact CPUs then Ubi (in a time when they need to care about shares going to Vivendi) will miss out on the huge PC market since we will just not buy it. Its a fun game, but nothing ground breaking where people would feel like they are missing out.
Also your many ad hominem posts on this article show how fallacy centered your comments really are.
Even though it’s a logical ASSUMPTION that the DRM is the culprit for the high CPU usage in this game, it has yet to be proven or demonstrated to what specific degree. It could be a 5-10% effect for all we know. Or it could be 90%. The 30-40% claim from the original cracker was at best an estimation based on his familiarity with VMProtect, not something he was able to test by removing it, because it still hasn’t been removed yet so we can’t possibly know how significant it is until then.
I won’t call the accusations of the DRM as cause of high CPU usage “fallacies” because they are founded in sound logic, even if unproven, but no one truly has the answers on this one so I don’t think everyone should continue pretending that they do.
If Ubisoft cared enough, they’d throw together a copy of the game without the DRM and run it side by side with the release version and demonstrate their findings in a video they could release to the public. If I ran a game company, that’s what I’d do in the wake of publicity like this, at least, if I knew for certain the public was mistaken.
It still is a “post hoc ergo propter hoc” fallacy though.
Oh please. If people can’t pirate it when it comes out, it means some of them will buy it. Obviously most pirates are not lost sales, but it absolutely will have an effect.
So will people not buying their games on principle, customers like me.
Dude……Star Wars Battlefront II is cracked, so it’s probably not denuvo, but the combo that’s protecting it.
Nope, it’s not cracked.
What!! Crackwatch says so.

its not cracked yet , what you saw on warez is only un-lock edition 🙂
“This isn’t something new though. Watch_Dogs 2, another open-world game from Ubisoft, shows the exact same behaviour. However, and contrary to Origins, Watch_Dogs 2 does not use VMProtect over Denuvo; it only uses the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.”
and despite that no one has cracked it with its 200$ worth of dlc, which hints that the cracking scene doesnt care rather cant crack origins.
It’s cracked already.
Voted for this in the Steam 2017 awards, “Worst Console Port”.
Performance is awful. I wouldn’t mind so much if UBI had stated it was going to be just a console port, but again they lied stating that it was also being cross developed on PC.
Meta Crititc and Steam reviews seem to be poluted with fake positives, and the mobile morons who feel a solid 30FPS on PC is great.
Worse than Wolfenstein 2?
Wolf 2 is amazing! Maybe you’re thinking Evil within 2?
I’m asking because I’ve seen many complain about the game’s performance.
The first one was poorly optimized on PC.
3770k @ 4.5, 1080Ti FTW3, 32GB RAM and a resolution of 1440p. How do you know you are getting a steady 60FPS? “I haven’t seen *any* performance issues with this game.”, what planet are you on? The forums are full of performance issues.
There are equally as many reports like his and mine claiming that despite the high CPU usage, they are getting very good performance. There’s enough evidence to prevent either side from being discounted, but it does question why there’s so much variability.
Like the above post though, no joke, I can easily keep 90-130 FPS at 1440p on a 1080 Ti. 4K Ultra does seem a bit hard to grasp though considering the game doesn’t support SLI and on a single 1080 Ti I can’t keep 60 FPS on 4K.
Your 3770K is probably to blame if I’m honest. This game is obviously very CPU intensive and if my 5820K is reaching its limits then your 3770K has to be well beyond its own. I had a 2500K i5 (one gen before your CPU) until about 2 years ago and had to upgrade because I was being CPU-limited in almost all new AAA titles at that point. Ivy Bridge did not offer much in terms of IPC improvements over Sandy Bridge so I imagine you’re due for an upgrade as well.
Sure, you can throw a newer processor at it, but my argument is that the game has no visual content to require such a processor.
It’s also worth noting that newer 4 core 8 thread CPUs have not increased that much in performance and that the average Steam user does not even have an I7 class CPU.
Ubisoft themselves do not claim to be able to sustain 60FPS while suggesting a minimum of a stock 6700k or 1700x at high settings. Ubisoft have claimed that this was cross developed on PC.
I don’t believe a 3770k@4.5 is that far behind a stock 6700k, nor do I believe such content needs that CPU performance unless the coders had no clue what they were doing. Hence, it’s a poor console port.
To make it easier to understand, the only way a game such as this could swamp higher end CPUs is if it were not written for such CPUs to begin with.
It’s really not though??
I admit, I have a 5820K and a 1080 Ti, but at 1440p, I consider a range of 90-130 (city/desert) FPS to be really decent on a new AAA title with all settings at their highest (except AA)
I have a friend with a 1070 and a 6700K, running at 1080p, she gets slightly less FPS than I do, but is very happy with it.
I’ve seen lots of people with claims of good performance, even though their CPU’s stay maxed out. Most people who have complained only say “my CPU is maxed out; that game is crap” but that doesn’t mean they’re getting bad performance, just that their CPU is being fully utilized. The CPU usage doesn’t seem to be bottlenecking the GPU for most players.
hahahhahahahhahaha i am so happy pirates neutralized denuvo + vmprotect ftw lol best combo ever more developers should start using this die all the pirates death to all pirates
denuvo + uwp + vmprotect + uplay + origin + steam + always online the best combo ever
winner ubisoft kudos to them
You’re death to gaming but you have a cute butt so there’s that.
PC users will continue to buy more DRM free and anit tamper free games then. These games using such anti tamper software already lost because people know about it, DRM and anti tamper supposed to be invisible to the user, so Ubisoft failed. When Ubisoft sales of PC games when up, what did they say and do? Add anti tamper on top of their DRM.
Did your brain fall out your head or do you get it now? Sales of Ubisoft games on PC go up in sales, they add 2xAnti tamper. Learning anything yet?
“PC users will continue to buy more DRM free and anit tamper free games then. ” yes for free via their favorite torrent site that is
And yet again you don’t understand DRM free and why it’s so popular to paying customers, companies and corporations love low IQ idiots like you.
so popular that only the owner and indie garbage is there no new AAA release on it
You’re a AAA moron more like.
weak
Low IQ^
Ahahahahahahaha Assassin Creed Origins Kangz on steam spy 377,565 owners. Versus: Divinity Original Sin 2 932,190 owners and Cuphead 958,566 owners. Fantastic games with no bullsh** inside (DRM, Political Agendas, Microtransactions) . Fatality for Ubitroll and their cr** games!
trying to be civil and fair, but normally AAA games never really sell well in PC market. (which is also reason why these AAA always get shittier port and company being overprotective.)
LOL, you are being kinda naive here, do you pretend to make us believe that AAA developers are sitting there while Divinity Original Sin sells like hot bread?
Yeah Steamspy doesnt take other platforms into account but also there are no source to prove that consoles are selling much better AAA games right now, the only sources are those twitter post when a DEV comes with ” We sold a million of copies” which are actually pretty scarce these days,
pc is for indie and f2p garbages
If the game is good, then it will sell in every platform. If the games is cr** garbage overhype with the marketing, then it’s not my fault for the bad sales. And also we live in a era in 2017 when the US and some countries are pushing the fuc*** political agenda in videogame. Assassin Creed Origin the message before the begin of the game : “Inspired by historical events and characters, this work of fiction was designed, developed, and produced by a multicultural team of various beliefs, sexual orientations and gender identities”. Plus this game has the microtransanctions with the bad game design to force you to grind, to tickle your mind for open more your wallet. I wonder why these games sold baldy. One last thing: Dark Souls series and The Witcher 3 sold very well on Pc , but again we talk about good games.
of course pc is for f2p and indie garbage
You are trying too hard to trigger people. 0/10 get a life.
nope just telling the truth and busting their delusional a$$
“get a life”
That’s not something Sony or Microsoft sells so he’s going to have a tough time with that one.
Yeah, that’s exactly what we’re doing.
/Facepalm.
Bold words from someone Im sure doesn even have the game, but dont worry, Im just gonna block you, so you dont get more of my “childish” comments.
Well, if you’re that stupid…..
Yeah, we should just shut up and play our games like good boys and girls, never question our rights as customers and why we’re concerned.
I’m not, that’s the point, it’s about the tech itself, nothing to do with pirating FFS. Guess you didn’t hear about secuROM? It was blocked on Windows 10. There are loads of instances where DRM has been bad for customers and we’re supposed to believe Anti-tamper is safe? It doesn’t phone home, it’s not spywhere? This has been claimed before.
This will be emulated eventually.. it is a cat and mouse game
Or just cracked. Probably both, actually.
denuvo is not cracked just emulated
Denuvo is cracked as of a long time, now. It was originally being emulated by CPY, then BALDMAN cracked it and they’ve been cracking it ever since.
Apparently Denuvo 1.3 isnt.
The new one? Yeah, not yet. It’s always just a matter of time now, though. They can’t make it hold for any real length of time as that would mean having to do more than just modify a few lines of code, the way they’ve been patching it so far.
VMProtect is the real question/problem now, I expect.
And Ubisoft think they can charge me £50 for it as well, HAHAHAHHAHAHA ubisoft are having a joke, £50 for a PC game with double layer DRm and double layer Anti tamper. Glad I brought other Ubisoft games on sales or cdkeys.
That’s ok, I just spent my money on another game that’s DRM free instead on principle, Ubisoft lost a sale because of their draconian measures.
and they probably gained quite a few more because the game couldn’t be pirated. Not that many, but definitely more than the those who didn’t buy it on principle.
So you claim, yet the evidence only points to the opposite……
I don’t care about you because you clearly know nothing about customer service and as a customer who has brought Ubisoft games, they should be concerned and take note.
People are against DRM and anti-tamper because it’s anti consumer, if anything goes wrong when they stop supporting the game, you’re screwed, the game won’t work and it’s happened with old DRM. it’s not actually about pirating, that’s what we’re saying and still people don’t get it. DRM has been concerning people for years, so when your games stop working for some reason, you were warned.
Its too bad they cant protect owners that paid good money from the stuttering issues the last patch introduced. Worry less about pirates and more about the experience the people that supported you have. I uninstalled the game after the latest patch.
I just want them to fix what they screwed up the last patch… game was running good before then.
I dont pirate games, i just want the games i paid for to be playable.
some rumors said the big pirates group were paid by ubisoft to not release a crack…anyway i wont get near this game a cpu bottleneck because of a drm is not worth my money even at 75% off
LOL?
LMAO 😀
If that’s true, then it means they really believe they’re losing vast sums of money to pirates….. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
how is that even possible? did Ubisoft contact all crackers and offered them $$$ not to crack their game? each and every one of them?
it sounds absurd
I don’t know if that’s possible. Don’t these hackers rely on anonymity to avoid prosecution. There would be some kind of money trail and if Ubisoft really wanted to they could claim that the hacker was also guilty of extortion. I guess it would depend on the country they live in and whether the government cared at all about some French company. The hacker could still hack the game anyway if there were no way to prosecute.
i was actually very close on buying this weekend and then i remembered all the performance analysis and the fact the latest patch introduced stuttering and how this game hammers the cpu and how my cpu is not the latest one anymore(i7 3770k)
guess what i did? did not buy it because of those reasons not because of the drm
And did you speak about “kids”, lol, you behave like a jealous one.
The only petulant child here, is him and that Kim account.
really doubting me? you are invited to look up my steam or uplay account with all the game i’ve bought including(im not proud of it) assassins creed unity.
but you know what…i have nothing to prove to infantile inbred.
Those 367k copies would be there even if the game were DRM free, so John don try to suggest that this “protection” is making the game to sell more. Pirates pirate because “no money”. And while that legit users get their CPUs being rape, lol.
Wow so witcher 3 blew up a lot of Triple A titles in sales.
calm down you muslim a$$ pirate “We hate denuvo cause of lack in performance due to it and always online sh*t. Otherwise we don’t have a problem with denuvo.” ummmm no that is cause you’re a pirate “fitgirl repacks” i wonder why ?? hahahahaha “legit buyer” sure you performance is hitting hard as a legit buyer lol
Not impressed. Witcher 3 had 690.000 sales through GOG alone, without DRM. Not counting copies sold through Steam (4.2 million) and other services.
If Denuvo and VMProtect had an impact on sales, it was a negative one for increasing CPU demands
of course it was a highly overhyped downgraded garbage
Yeah like your AAA downgraded garbage.
these are bunch of pirates all over here always whining
lol pirates are still blaming denuvo for performance ahahahahhah when there is no actual proof just all speculations and it is well known that ubisoft games are hard on cpu and are unoptimized
We’re going to turn you into a pirate eventually. You know that, don’t you?
Errmmm pirates can’t play it. Legit users blame double DRM and there ARE grounds for blame.
^^Oh look, a pirate projecting himself.
Yes, because intelligent adults have no regard for proper capitalization, punctuation, spelling or basic grammar.
It protected them from a lot of legit buyers too. 🙂
Why do they think ppl would pirate it ?
Good job guys. You Denouvian scum! Fighting piracy,eh? It is fighting mostly teens or younger who can’t afford to buy games. I say NO! Let little Timmy play! And let little Suzie play too! Damn it! Damn it all to Hell!
to be honest, i think it hasnt been cracked because no one of value would ever play this propaganda and just a bland boring game in general…
Propaganda?
If it was a decent game then it would most likely be cracked by now.
Sorry Ubisoft I am never buying what is essentially a 30 FPS title on PC. 60 locked and up can’t happen due to VMprotect and all Ubisoft has done is make the title never worth buying. Triple A gaming will be dead soon and none of you will be missed. EA, Ubisoft, Activision can all die. I hope every parent buys their kids a Switch this Xmas. MS deserves to die as far as gaming as well. Sony makes one good game every 2 years and they are just becoming taken over by intersectional feminists like (((Neil Druckmann))) who ran a woman off (Amy Hennig) the franchise she was the lead on, because modern feminism isn’t about feminism. It’s about protecting Zionism, pushing LGBT and soon to be P, which is rampant in (((Hollywood))) and using women as shields. All games are now is (((propaganda))), just like (((movies))), which is why they all suck. They even push this garbage at the end of Mario Odyssey, but at least you have an actual game to play and not just cut scenes.
Make sure to go watch the new Star Wars. Han Solo was emasculated and left his family and loved ones in their greatest time of need and has been replaced by a Furby. Luke did the same and is now weaker than someone he trained and someone who needs no training, because her character is essentially the entitled, narcissistic Disney writers with no life experience and a gender studies degree. A pink haired Tumblr LGBT tranny (Laura Dern) is replacing Leia. Anyone who takes their son or daughter to see the film might as well cut the boys balls off now and dye his daughters hair pink and prepare to be hated for putting a roof over her head. There is no agenda here either from ((((Disney))). Not like they bragged about 40 percent of the company being LGBT in the 90’s to Elizabeth Birch. Not like they did the same thing with Marvel Comics or pump millions into VICE to push all this deviancy.
Oh and YOU are the racists and “privileged”, even though (((they))) shipped black slaves as far back as the Dutch East India company, sold white Christians Slavs into slavery to Muslims, own the banks, own Hollywood, where they only hire their own as far as producers and directors, hire people who can’t even act like the new (((Han Solo))) and started and led the Bolshevik Revolution and Communism where 94 million people have been killed…with 12-20 million Christians killed so far in a Holocaust their media essentially denies by omission. They also have an apartheid state where they run over peace activists with bulldozers like Rachel Corrie and a country they built a wall around. They don’t intermarry and consider goyim beasts that aren’t enslaved yet. They control both sides of the argument. (((Breitbart))) is an “anti-Semite”? His (((CEO))) is? Yeah right. Silly goy. The video game industry is theirs now, just like all the rest of the media. 5 companies own over 90 percent of the media and they all kosher. Rupert Murdoch is the one they point to as not being “in the tribe” and his mother was, which makes him one. You are owned and you are so brainwashed that when someone tells you that you are owned, you call them a racist to protect the most racist people on Earth, who started organizations like the KKK, through their “Lodge” slappies like Albert Pike to protect Zionism and their hatred and racism. They killed blacks through their proxies, whom they shipped as slaves, not themselves. You can’t even figure out simple code like K=11 so KKK = 33, which was the degree Pike was and has on his grave in D.C or on the covers of his book Morals and Dogma. You think that grave is getting torn down? Nope. Enjoy all the illusions goy.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was exposed as a fraud 80 years ago, in case you did not get the memo.
Jews are blamed for everything — even video games :/
1) It was never exposed as a fraud. 2) People were shot for having the book in Russia. Truth does not fear investigation. Truth does not kill dissension. People does not jail dissension. 3) Youtube search “slaves goyim” and you can see what people in Israel think of other races. That is what the Babylonian Talmud teaches, that they all should be and will be enslaved. This is exactly what the protocols says, because it is genuine. 4) The Jewish Encyclopedia says that “modern Jewry is Edom”. They are frauds and admit they are frauds. They have nothing to do with the tribe of Judah and real “Jews”. Like Herod “the Great” they are from Edom or Idumea. They killed Hebrews firstborn in antiquity and they sold them into slavery later on, starting with the Dutch East India company. They got kicked out of hundreds of countries for a reason. They treat people like animals. The one country to let them in (Poland) had their people sold as SLAVES by (((them))). Slav means SLAVE. 5) Do me a favor and look at the Board of Directors for Zenimax (google about “zenimax”, who owns Bethesda and Wolfenstein. See that name? Robert S. Trump? That is Donald’s brother. The company is owned by a D.C (((lawyer))). Now why would Trump’s brother work years in advance on “anti-Trump” propaganda, that also pushes Communism? Like I said, just Zionist puppets that control both sides of the argument. Even funnier? Google “Trump and Hlllary related”. You will see Newspaper articles confirming it. You can also find pictures of Kathy Griffin hanging out with Trump on the golf course. The goyim argue over illusion. 6) LOL at that avatar and Meitner. Sorry but I don’t believe in pseudoscience and frauds. REAL scientists like Nikola Tesla called Einstein and the theory of relativity the fraud it is in the New York Times. (((They))) made Tesla the villain in the first Superman cartoon. Children are brainwashed from infancy to worship a fraud who failed a college entrance exam, never invented anything, plagiarized theories that people knew were wrong long before that and married his own cousin. A good example of a modern (((Disney))) film is Meet the Robinsons. The child is an inventor and has a big picture of Albert Eintstein on his wall. A very SMALL picture of Nikola Tesla is there that people don’t notice, but their brain did. Brutal brainwashing that teaches kids, Tesla doesn’t matter, Einstein is an inventor (lie) and along with things like Little Einstein’s prepares their minds to be raped their entire life, where they never hear about great men like Tesla. Instead they get propaganda. Now go watch a History channel (Disney) special on how Einstein’s brain was different and more advanced than all the dumb goyim…Better yet link a BS study on how AshkeNAZI’s are smarter than everyone else and that is why they are so “privileged” as far as wealth. You think they teach Einstein’s theories and that the shortest distance between two points in space is NOT a straight line as truth in a Hasidic school? LOL. That BS is for the goy.
Needs more paragraphs.
I guess you believe the Earth is flat too.
Trump Management only owns part of Zenimax.
Also if you look at history then you will probably understand why Jews are paranoid and stick closely together. Most of their ancestors lived in Europe and Hitler wasn’t the first to demonize Jews. They’ve been pretty much despised ever since the rise of the Roman Catholic Church. There’s not one country in Europe that doesn’t have a history of persecuting Jews.
Who would buy that junk game? Nobody in their right mind. It’s going in the gutter like Unity.
i think that the game being a sucky kangs version of ancient Egypt did a better job protecting this game from pirates
afterall, who would like to pirate such a POS game?
You shut the hell up, you talk too much.
Ubisoft has managed to turn everyone’s CPU into a stove top as well. Great trade off.
It’s Ubisoft, so it’s trash by default, but this is just another layer of s**t on top of that trash.
Even if it would be 99 cents i would not give ubisoft my money
Actually one quick look and FM18 is cracked, NFS: Payback is cracked, Injustice 2 is cracked.
That may be because they actually delivered an awesome piece of a game (after waiting for a couple if weeks after the release for them to fix stuff). It definitely has it’s little flaws, sure. Performance is also great, running 50-55 fps most of the time on 4k. Not surprising considering I thought unity looks kinda on the same level graphically already.
I know that the games are gonna cracked soon.Once they crack even a single title then you will see a train of cracks comming behind.Seems that Cpy is waiting for those games who have 4.7 and vm protect so they don’t have to mess up with other version if they cracked it earlier.They can crack it in less than a week but they are waiting.Anyways patience is the will.
we know they did because latest i9,i7 still hits 100% nice protection ubi kappa
why is this site obsessed with Denouvo?!!
and it was a stupid move not a smart one as we all know DRM only affects a game in a negative way so, please stop with this useless threads that are only making some of us resent and hate you
Some gamers make a decision to not buy just because it has Denuvo. Also it’s not mandatory to read every article. Just skip the Denuvo articles if it’s bothering you to the point where you hate the editor.
i don’t hate this site it is my favorite site
just showing my frustration with certain approach doesn’t mean “hating”
i have been here for a very long time ask Amir
“protect its game from pirates for an entire month”
Game was playable by pirates since day 1, like all of Denuvo and Win 10 games before, they just buy those (free for some) 0.5$ to 5$ accounts and play any game they like, some even have online options.
I don’t get why someone pays 0.5$ to 5$ to waste bandwith for that buggy trash.
I wonder how Steamspy can even tell how many owners of the games there are. It could be that Steamspy has some way of noting the number of downloads perhaps but how to know how many of those downloads are happening by owner. That could make the number of owners appear to be larger for older games due to a owner downloading it more than just once.
It’s simple: they’re all garbage games so there’s no point in pirating them.
How is this news? Is there anything new being added? Will you make another article like this after another month? “AC orgins still not cracked after 2 months”?
Sounds to me you are just milking the piracy cows here to get clicks + revenue.
And managed to get sold less because of poor performance and lack of HDR .
I joined the Steam Anti Denuvo group, I have no intentions of buying any games using Denuvo, and don’t worry it will get cracked, and cracked again and again and I am all for the crackers in this case because Denuvo is very bad.
Not only do I have to worry about losing access to my games, but also privacy concerns, and of course extra resource requirements such as RAM, CPU, and Disk Space usage which otherwise is not needed if Denuvo isn’t there which may not be a problem for a casual gamer but for us who like to lets say run 3-4 games or more at once such as multibox 5 copies of EVE Online, play Black Desert at the same time run in Utlra Graphics, and such its a huge issue.
