“Here are the top 10 things you need to know about Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3”
Why do we “need” to know anything about said game, much less ten things about it?
Because that’s, uh, the name of the video?
Except that it’s not that name of the video. Reading comprehension fail, right there!
So you’re basically getting your panties in a twist over the use of the word ‘need’? You must be fun at parties.
Nope. Perfectly fine here, thanks. I’m just laughing now at your embarrassing inability to read properly and subsequent attempt to gloss over that fact by making childish comments in retaliation. gg
”TOP 10 Things to Know About Sniper Ghost Warrior 3”
“Here are the top 10 things you need to know about Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3″
Bub&Bob: ‘WAAAAAHHH!!!!! WHY IS THIS VIDEO GAME WEBSITE POSTING NEWS ABOUT A VIDEO GAME AND ADDING THE WORD ”NEED” TO THE TITLE WAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!”
You’re seemingly intent on continuing to embarrass yourself. Carry on!
Edit: Oh, apparently, he figured it out in the end…..
I think?
Indeed! It took him a while but by Jove he got there in the end! Another semi-literate troll to be filed in the ‘special’ category it seems.
Because “Top 10” videos & “What” videos are #popular right now, so, GIT HAIPED, YA DUMB TURDS!
Indeedy! Such is life on the internet nowadays that folk are so desperate for clicks that they seek to artificially manufacture reasons where no good reasons exist for why we should care for what they have to offer or say.
cuz the vast majority of gamers are idiots that cant figure basic gameplay mechanicis 10 hours in.
Here is ONE thing you need to know about Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3… This game is using Denuvo.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6326ad536f0443e5c4f862df5e844bc327d3c8843766612f8f73422bb7b92e70.gif
good, i only buy games that use denuvo
….. You do realise how pathetic that is, right?
Not to say outright moronic, really…….
here we go again so what it uses denuvo i am glad it uses denuvo only a pirate needs to worry
Yeah, sure, keep telling yourself that.
I mean, it’s not like Denuvo’s predecessor, SecuROM ever affected legitimate customers primarily, since the pirates were all removing it, right?
Oh, wait……..
But yeah, I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about what-so-ever as a legitimate customer, because, after all, how often does DRM end up affecting us, instead of p-
Yeah, no.
I think the mods are letting them stay as a joke now. I remember nearly a week ago that they warned said user to knock off the pirate talk and talking about the mods/authors.
Really? Is that why pirates can play Syberia 3 faster (according to PCMR subreddit, it boots about 40 seconds faster) than those who actually support the devs?
Or is it because after leaving Denuvo, 2Dark actually sold at least 1k more (which accounts to 33% of their sales…. yeah, that bad when protected)?
Only paid shills or idiots would support a product whose only purpose is to hide access and information from their own costumers.
You try to play Mass Effect Andromeda, spending good boosters in gold (in Multiplayer) and then be kicked out from the entire game because Denuvo didn’t get the correct reply from the server. You’ll love it. (If you’re wondering how to differentiate a crash by the game or a crash by Denuvo, it is simple to differentiate. If the game crashes, it creates a crash report. If Denuvo crashes the game, it will dump the memory so nothing happens. You’re just sent into the destop). But sure, tell me I have nothing to be upset at. Because at least I have the satisfaction that pirates can’t play it (which is a pathetic satisfaction to have and)…..OH WAIT, they can. And only us (the paying suckers) got screwed here.
You play Mass Effect Andromeduh and call other people idiots? Oh, the irony.
And how the f*ck is it that pirates can play multiplayer?
Exactly, they don’t. And as such they are hindered in any way by Denuvo. I AM!
And I play whatever the hell I want, not what you want (I dislike almost everything about it, but it is still none of your concern, nor does it mean the idiotic protection isn’t inconveniencing the costumers).
So pirates can’t play multiplayer in Andromeda and they’re not hindered in any way? Because they didn’t pay anything?
Here’s a hint: pirates don’t pay for games, ever, so if they can’t access X game, yes, they are hindered.
And you said earlier that they could play it, what is it? They can or they can’t?
WRONG! They wouldn’t play the online feature in any case, Denuvo or not.
They can play the game, they won’t play the online, with or without Denuvo, you skewed fallacious jerk.
I have it, I hate it. Your POINT IS WRONG!
Relax dude, looks like you’re about to start foaming through your mouth.
That’s true, he is starting to look a little…. foamy……. 😛
Just a little……… 😀
Yeah, because someone insults others tastes (not a terrible insult there, the game is pretty bad), skews information to make it look like LotF only crashed for me (absolutely idiotic), pretends that the fact that because people can live with a few crashes in the day, they’re experience is not worst for it, that pirates are hindered by it (as if they would play the online anyway). And somehow, after proved wrong and obtusely self centered, still goes against an actual consumer saying that I’m not bothered by it.
Yes, I am upset.
Grow a fracking conscience. Idiotic.
” Is that why pirates can play Syberia 3″
Well sht, i have never played a syberia game but the fact they cracked the latest version of the game in record time proves denuvo is pointess.
Paying customers shouldn’t be worried about Denuvo.
No, yeah, you’re right, I mean, why worry about anything that restricts your access to a product that you’ve legally paid for, right?
After all, it’s not like that’s extremely detrimental to consumers in any way what-so-ever.
Hear, hear.
It’s sad to see that attitudes once the exclusive reserve of the peasantry are making it over to the PC platform. I suppose it’s the price one pays now that so many one-time console-only gamers are finally seeing sense by making the switch to PC gaming. They bring all manner of unfortunate baggage and brainwashed anti-consumer attitudes with them.
So if I don’t see what the big deal is about Denuvo I MUST be a console player, right? Hahaha, you sound like a leftist.
Trolling me yet again, huh. Do stop embarrassing yourself this way.
You dismiss my reply claiming I’m ‘trolling’ and your argument is that I’m ’embarrasing myself’? Are you 14?
I dismiss you as having trolled and having embarrassed yourself because it’s evidently true. Do carry on doing so!
And still you keep evading the real discussion. Now I’m sure you’re a leftist, or at least you use their ‘tactics’.
So not content with being a troll and an ongoing embarrassment to yourself you’re now showing yourself to be mentally disturbed. Well done you!
‘Troll’, ’embarrassment’, ‘mentally disturbed’.
All of that because you’re incapable of making a point?
In what way exactly does Denuvo restrict a paying customer from access to the product?
As a dev, I would hate to put denuvo in my game. The more people that have access to my work, the better. And the way in which denuvo works, when/if the company shuts down, people wouldn’t be able to play my game anymore due to no working server checks. If the game doesn’t work, and is known to not work, nobody buys it which means I don’t get any royalties when I’m between contracts. Of course, whatever publisher I happen to be working for makes the denuvo decision, but I have advised against it.
” If the game doesn’t work, and is known to not work, nobody buys it
which means I don’t get any royalties when I’m between contracts.”
exactly and at some point you dont get any royalties.
I find this comment very confusing, despite you quoting me. Can you explain? Yes, royalty contracts have a time limit, but I’m not sure what to take from the comment.
If I were a dev I would make my games DRM free.
Having said that, what happens if Steam closes and we lose access to ALL our games, not just the ones with Denuvo?
Should we boycott Steam too?
I believe in steam’s end user agreement, you can crack all games you own. Cracking steam is easy, too.
Denuvo seems pretty easy to crack too.
Ah, but Steamworks is basically just crack & forget, Denuvo does take some effort, even if it’s just a handful of days worth.
It really isn’t. The 32 bit version is relatively easy-ish. The 64 but version, which most games use, appears to be quite difficult to crack, seeing as only one group can do it right now, and they aren’t day one cracks.
you don’t own the game by paying for it, you pay for the rights to use it, if you want to buy a game you should contact either developer or publisher of that particular game and at the end, if you don’t like playing those games then don’t buy them, as simple as that
You buy a license of the game. That license belongs to you, & is protected by consumer’s rights laws.
Yes, the Intellectual Property rights remain in the hands of the creator, but so what? When you buy a book, you buy a copy, you don’t buy the original idea & the rights to the words written on the page.
So what? When I buy a video game license, I expect that license to be valid in perpetuity, as that is exactly what I have paid for, rather than for a few years, before the DRM starts c*ckblocking my access to my license.
We already have enough problems accessing older games due to time degradation without adding in vendor-supported initiatives like DRM that only aggravate the situation further.
What kind of logic is that? Pirates are the ones who don’t need to worry about Denuvo. Either crackers will get them the game, or they won’t play it. In any case, Denuvo doesn’t really bother them.
I, in the other hand get kicked about twice a day in ME:A by it (no crash report is created, it is Denuvo). I don’t even want to play gold in it because I may just be wasting boosts. I am the one who needs to worry, not the pirates who can just enjoy a part of the game without being kicked out because of ANY LITTLE THING in the internet.
Not to mention that any dev can hide ANYTHING they want in their code and we, the paying costumer will be none the wiser. How can that ever lead to anything negative? Never, right?
This logic, man.
Pirates want to play a game but they can’t if it’s not cracked and that’s why they’re the ones who don’t need to worry about Denuvo? Yep, makes perfect sense. Flawless ‘logic’ you have there.
If Denuvo crashes your games twice a day, shouldn’t that also happen to all legit users?
Yeah, logic doesn’t seem to be your thing.
“If Denuvo crashes your games twice a day, shouldn’t that also happen to all legit users?”
What.
I’m sorry, are we all running consoles featuring identical hardware specifications & software versions now, but I just failed to get the memo, or something?
“Pirates want to play a game but they can’t if it’s not cracked and that’s why they’re the ones who don’t need to worry about Denuvo? Yep, makes perfect sense. Flawless ‘logic’ you have there.”
Because Denuvo isn’t getting cracked, or something?
“Flawless ‘logic’ you have there.” No, seriously, “Yeah, logic doesn’t seem to be your thing.”
“What.
I’m sorry, are we all running consoles featuring identical hardware specifications & software versions now, but I just failed to get the memo, or something?”
What does hardware have to do with the problem he’s describing?? (allegedly the game crashes because Denuvo fails to contact some server) How is that hardware related? So, yeah, if that’s the case it should happen to all legit users.
“Because Denuvo isn’t getting cracked, or something?”
You missed the point, he said: “Either crackers will get them the game, or they won’t play it.” So basically he’s spouting bullsh*t to support his claims. In ANY forum that permits openly discussing warez (haven’t used that word in at least 15 years), you’ll see everyone hoping that X game won’t be using Denuvo when it comes out, and wondering when X game that uses Denuvo will be cracked. And this clown claims that pirates don’t worry about it, haha!
You said if it’s happening to him, it should be happening to everyone “because Denuvo”, right? Except, how do we know that? Denuvo could be responding negatively to a hardware issue, or a software issue, specific to his build.
The only way to know for sure either way is through controlled environment testing, which, I believe, neither of us is in any position to do.
“What kind of logic is that? Pirates are the ones who don’t need to worry about Denuvo. Either crackers will get them the game, or they won’t play it. In any case, Denuvo doesn’t really bother them.”
Yeah, I admit, I’m not entirely sure what he meant by “Denuvo doesn’t really bother them”, maybe he meant it in the sense of “they don’t really care about it”, maybe he meant it in the more literal sense of “it really doesn’t bother them, since they remove it.”
But as for the rest, it seems pretty clear-cut. Yeah, sure, pirates hope games don’t come with Denuvo, of course, since while Denuvo does eventually get cracked, it does (usually) take a varied amount of time to crack, & they want to play the game in question sooner, rather than later, so from that sense its existence & implementation into games bothers them, sure.
Whether or not it actually “bothers” them in the sense of “this f*cker won’t get off my jock” “bothers”, though, I doubt it, since, even though crackers aren’t fully removing Denuvo, they are basically circumventing/disabling it, making it a non-issue.
So basically the game’s crashing on the guy without any sort of error message, but he’s absolutely sure it’s Denuvo. And he claims that ALL people who bought the game are having the same problem.
You’d think there would be a mighty sh*tstorm if millions of legit PC players would get booted out of the game every 20 minutes, right?
His Lord of the Fallen game was also crashing constantly on him, but I finished that game (ugh) without a single crash.
Okay, “all” is an exaggeration, but come on, it’s the Internet.
As for Andromeda; well, he said he crashes during the multiplayer. All things considered, I’m guessing only so many people care about ME’s multiplayer, now or ever, so only so many would bother to report anything, as well, & out of those, Google seems to be producing quite a few results for them.
Beyond that, who knows.
It does happen to all clients. Have you checked streamers? Take a look.
And YES, it doesn’t bother pirates. It bothers crackers, who I expect welcome the challenge. But pirates, until the game is cracked, are just excluded. And when it is cracked, they do not have to deal with it. So any issue that Denuvo causes is not to them. But to me? Who bought Lords of the Fallen? I got that game crashing to desktop every 20 minutes.
I PAID FOR A GAME THAT CRASHED EVERY 20 MINUTES! Pirates? They didn’t get that problem. They just played it later.
But somehow, in your mind, I (the costumer) was not inconvenienced . The pirates were.
Right…..
So millions (I’m assuming this turd sold at least a couple of million on PC) of legit PC players are getting booted out of the game all the time. Right. Dude, there would be a massive sh*tstorm on the internet if that were the case.
And I finished Lords of the Fallen and didn’t have 1 single crash, so at this point it looks like there’s something seriously wrong with your PC.
If you say that you played the Lords of the Fallen when it released and didn’t have a crash, you’re simply a liar. Everyone went through it. It costed them so many sales.
And as for the crashes, everyone goes through it. People are just getting accustomed to this crap. The game crashes in all platforms, it destroyed entire characters (and all its saves). I saw it happen to Bahroo, and to most streamers. In fact, most stopped streaming it because of these things, but your idiocy is what is always right. You’re not self absorbed at all, right?
And no, there’s nothing wrong with my PC. I can play everything quite well, thank you for your fake concern.
I didn’t play through LotF when it was released (never said I did), I played it recently.
So the game crashed a lot when it came out and had Denuvo, now it doesn’t crash anymore but it still has Denuvo, so for you the game had zero bugs at release, but they patched Denuvo and all crashing stopped, right? Wrong, look at the patches changelogs (all SIX of them), Denuvo isn’t mentioned anywhere.
And it wasn’t ‘fake concern’ about your PC (lmao), I couldn’t care less about your PC.
To be fair, it’s not exactly like developers are legally required to disclose the minute details of every change they make to a game post-launch. We just expect them to give us a long & detailed list of what they do, because….. it’s habitual, by this point, I guess? And we just assume that they include everything they want us to know, rather than every-single-minute-f*cking-comma that may &/or may not have been moved.
Look you can spin it all you want (maybe this, maybe that), the bottom line is that they patched and optimized the game several times so it doesn’t crash anymore, but it still has Denuvo.
Yeah, and? Doesn’t mean Denuvo couldn’t still be causing problems. We shouldn’t dismiss it out of hand as a possible problem generator, either initially, or even now.
Everything that gets added to a game has the potential to create &/or become a bug at some point, & DRMs are not exempted from this, either at launch, 6 months afterwards, 12 months afterwards, 18, etc. etc. etc. As long as they’re there, there’s a possibility they may be the cause of someone’s issue.
Whether that is what actually happened in this case is undoubtedly up for open debate (& will sadly remain that way, in light of our lack of way to prove this one way or the other), but that doesn’t change the fact that integrating Denuvo does open you up to a host of brand new bugs that could otherwise be oh-so-easily avoided by simply not using the f*cking thing, in the first place.
“Everything that gets added to a game has the potential to create &/or become a bug at some point, & DRMs are not exempted from this, either at launch, 6 months afterwards, 12 months afterwards, 18, etc. etc. etc. As long as they’re there, there’s a possibility they may be the cause of someone’s issue.”
Absolutely right. But just look at this, it doesn’t get any simpler:
> game releases with Denuvo, crashes a lot and performance is bad.
> the devs patch the game a lot and it still has Denuvo. But it doesn’t crash anymore and performance is good.
What does that tell you? How can you honestly still think that Denuvo was the cause of those issues?
Because Denuvo is basically akin to a feature, & every time you add a feature, it has the potential to break something. If they implemented Denuvo clumsily, or maybe even if they did it right, but it interacted with something in a weird manner, for whatever reason, then Denuvo became the cause of the issues – not that they’d ever admit that, of course.
Yes, they patched them, so what? When a feature’s causing a bug, you fix it, you don’t remove the entire feature, especially when it’s a DRM. Nobody wants to ever admit they purposefully caused a problem to real buyers by implementing a shady, controversial “anti-tampering” program that’s been marred in controversy ever since the moment it first came out, & removing the DRM “because it caused a problem” is tandem to admitting that Denuvo as a whole, has problems – at least, as far as anyone on the Internet is concerned.
The only thing one can say for sure is that a game that had Denuvo on it had issues at launch, which were possibly due to Denuvo, but we can’t definitively say that it was or wasn’t, either way. Regardless, those issues are now gone, for whatever reason, though Denuvo remains. Does that eliminate Denuvo as the culprit? Not necessarily, no, it just means the problem, whatever the problem was, has now been fixed, period.
But I won’t get to play online, so where’s the incentive?
And I even did that for some games like Lords of the Fallen (I own it and I play it with a crack).
You need to understand that I’m not saying it is hopeless, just that Denuvo is absolute trash that hinders actual costumers. And this coming from a costumer of plenty of gaming companies. That is not good. Denuvo and its sorts are not a good thing, not by any stretch of the imagination.
any cracked denuvo game will work forever cant say the same for uncracked ones.
But… has any Denuvo game to this date stopped working? Shouldn’t we also hate Steam with the same passion in case it closes down in the future and we’re all locked out of ALL our games?
Valve can at least be trusted to code in some sort of “release” switch in the case that they ever go bankrupt & have to shut down their servers (obviously, they’re exempted in the case that an EMP wipes them out, or something). Denuvo, EA, U-BE-SOFT, etc. on the other hand? F*ck no.
Especially now that they’re finding a bit of a market in re-releasing older titles on GOG without DRM, all while “forgetting” to remove the DRM in question from the Steam versions (ex. Crysis).
It’s funny how you think Valve is the ‘good’ guy and EA, Ubisoft, etc are the only ‘bad guys’.
Don’t forget that Valve tried to push paid mods on Steam, and they will try again in the near future.
Compared to EA which hates mods, U-BE-SOFT which has annihilated mods & treats PC gamers like sh*t, etc. etc. etc?
Yeah, I place Valve above them, even if only because they aren’t anywhere near as evil as the rest of them. Sure, paid mods were a mistake, but even if they do try that again, I expect they’ll do so through a considerably different approach, after considerable consideration of how the community will react to it.
This always reminds me of how CCP also tried to introduce extreme levels of micro-transactions into EVE Online a few years ago, & they ardently believed in their approach, even after the initial community backslash, until eventually they were forced to concede their mistake, & go into the “correct” direction, instead, which they’ve largely stuck with, until this day.
CCP & Valve at least realised their respective mistake, & conceded it. Most others would have never conceded, & instead opted to simply push on with it, no matter what, “because the whiney little b*tches will eventually give in, you’ll see!” EA, U-BE-SOFT, ZeniMax, Square Enix, etc. etc. etc. for example.
Much like how we’re routinely forced to bear witness to one of the above introducing some new, moronic + anti-consumer initiative which they believe they’ll be able to get away with because they treat (& probably even believe that) their customer base like they’re a bunch of imbeciles with wallets, which is sadly proven to be the case more often than not.
No DRM being there in the first place shouldn’t worry devs, but it’s there.
Speak for yourself. I’m a paying customer with close to 1000 games across various digital stores and I refuse to touch a game that has it.
I’m around 650 games on Steam but I don’t see how that is relevant. Never had a problem with Denuvo.

Saw that before and to my knowledge, at least one of those is a lie. The one about not letting you play offline. So who knows if all the other points are true or not.
A noble effort but you’ll be wasting your time on him by linking an entire article when he’s already proven in this comments section that he can’t even read the one line title of the video correctly.
Still butthurt about the video title thing? Wow.
In any case that ‘article’ is, to say the least, childish. Did you write it?
Stuff like ‘crapware’, ‘it doesn’t let you play offline’ and blaming Denuvo for stuff that Steam does. Looks like you didn’t read it. And if you did and you believed all of that, well what can I say, I’m not surprised.
If you meant to ask if I’m still laughing at your ongoing obsession with embarrassing yourself in this comments section then I’m happy to confirm that’s correct. Do carry on doing so because you’re good to laugh at and pity if nothing else.
You: “Here’s proof that what I say is true!!!!”
Me: “Uh, no, see, this and that isn’t true”
You: “lol plz staph embarrasing urself lel!”
Carry on trolling and embarrassing yourself because it’s seemingly all you’re here for.
Nope, I’m here for actual discussion, something you’re so desperately avoiding.
so it is securom 2?
Well, it is made by the same people who once-upon-a-time made & managed SecuROM, so, yeah, I’d at least call it SecuROM’s distant cousin, if not its outright successor.
Thanks for the heads up. Saves me from even adding it to my wishlist.
meanwhile The surge from Deck 13 partnered with Focus Home Interactive and it will NOT be using Denuvo
i still don’t see the merit of Denovu, it’s gonna get cracked anyway
Another thing you need to know: Ghost warrior 1 & 2 were terrible games and this one will most likely be no different.
Eh. I don’t remember much of the first, to be fair, but the second was more mediocre than terrible. Linear, generic, dull, moronic, too easy, even, sure, but it did have good gunplay, at least, & considering it’s a sniper game, that does go a long way in my opinion.
Sure, it’s not enough to save it from being a thorough mediocrity, but yeah.
but this is like far cry
I’m not entirely convinced that that’s a good thing, yet, honestly.
Has better level design for sure, Then again you are not convinced that prey is copying system shock 2 when it even has the foating telepathic orb monsters.
I don’t care about copying, I care about calling it a spiritual successor, when all I can really see is just “Dishonored in Space With a Possible System Shock Assets Ripoff” at best 😛
Yeah, the “open world” (Achievement unlocked: “Open World” Marketing Bullet Point!) maps seem like they’ll be a better deal than Sniper 2’s linear-as-f*ck deal, definitely, though that whole “have a base from which to work out of, & oh, a bed to sleep in, so you can rest & recover!” seems a little….. too much?
At least compared to its predecessor, I mean.
dishonored in space? How so aside from the fast climbing and the stealth indicator on top of enemies heads, i dont see anything else that is like dishonored, instead i see alot that is like system shock.
“Yeah, the “open world” (Achievement unlocked: “Open World” Marketing Bullet Point!) maps”
I would agree with you if the gameplay did not let you infitrate bases the way you want. When you can do that, the open world is not a gimmick.
Honestly these days I take everything that says “open world” as a marketing thing, no matter what I see, until I actually get my hands on the game for myself & confirm that it’s not one of those “controlled bullsh*tting” things, but yeah, I admit, it does look like they’re really doing open world.
As for Dishonored; it’s more a general thing. From the moment it was first revealed until now, it’s just never lost the general feeling of “Dishonored in Space” for me. Maybe I’m wrong, if so, we’ll know soon enough, but yeah.
DSOG you were the last bastion of gaming journalism where there were no titles which included “Top 10 things…” “Here’s 5 things you need to do before…” and now this happens…
To be fair, the developers themselves made this video, not some random dweeb on YouTube, or some shill of an editor trying to boost their ad revenues.
Sure, there’s an argument to be made on whether or not it was worth them posting the video regardless, but even so.
It’s the title of the video, for pete’s sake. What is it with all these cry babies plaguing the site lately.
Well said. Ignore Martin the troll.
but its the title of the trailer
“Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t automatically think “lost sale” and fall into the fetal position, while dreaming up ways to prevent “lost sales” triggers.”
F*cking Hollywood…….
“I actually want devs who think they can control and tell a market how to buy/play said games, to just jog on and go somewhere else. The market does not need someone going around telling others how to buy and play regardless.”
Exactly. After so many years of endlessly failing CoD Clones, these morons in charge still haven’t learned a single f*cking lesson, & I just have to say; that simple fact truly is mind-f*cking-blowing.
Well, except maybe that they can’t kill the PC platform through sheer force of will & moronic “PC Gaming Ez D33d” campaigns ^^
Small Polish company who supports Denuvo, they bring shame to their country, when they stand next to people like CDPR who are anti-DRM and run the largest DRM free game distribution platform in the world.
That “small Polish company” has an annual revenue of $584 million and a market capitalisation of $1.64 billion. In the last financial year two of its senior management were each paid nearly $1.5 million and a further three individuals were each paid circa $0.9 million. It’s bigger than the likes of Capcom and is one of Poland’s largest companies when measured by those key metrics.
Might want to re-read what he wrote, mate 😛
Edit: Nicely put, now 😀
Since suitably amended!
Quote from CD Projekt’s Michal Platkow-Gilewski :
“We don’t want to assault anyone. Each time we are thinking about a decision, the first rule is we have to treat gamers like we’d like to be treated. We don’t believe in DRM because we hate DRM. It also doesn’t protect, not really. Games are cracked in minutes, hours, or days, but they’re always cracked. If you want to pirate you’ll find a way. But if you’re a committed gamer and are buying the game why should we place a barrier on you?”
I hope you can shoot people in this one.
Activation limits in Denuvo are fairly lax (nothing as arcaic like Tages), so no real users are affected, unless you pretend to install the same license in multiple computers in a cyber cafe or something.
CPU benchmarks. Yeah, I’ve said before it’s not ideal but eh… just type the name of the game + your cpu + your gpu on youtube and bam, you can see exactly how the game would perform on your system.
I’m not saying customers gain anything from Denuvo, because they don’t. But all this rage against it is completely overblown.
No mods that need .exe fiddling is not good, though.
Lax activation limits are still worse than no activation limits.
Which is more accurate, seeing how a game runs on MY system or someone else who could be falsifying data or could be lying about his hardware or may have different drivers, os or any number of software differences running in the background ?
I should be the judge of whether a mod with an .exe is good for my system that I paid for and I maintain not Denuvo or anybody else.
We can argue all we want about how much Denuvo can infringe on paying customers but at the end of the day you admit Denuvo does nothing for the paying customer and that it does throw up restrictions. Who in their right mind wants to support something that gives them nothing and may inconvenience them down the road ? That’s just asinine.
What? When did I even remotely imply that Denuvo (or any other DRM for that matter) is good or offers something valuable to users?
Who in their right mind would come to the conclusion that I support Denuvo or any other DRM from the posts I wrote? That’s just stupid.
You’ve spent this whole time downplaying the negative side of Denuvo, how is that not supporting it ? Judging by your posts I would assume you are a paid employee towing the company line.Now your a consumer rights advocate all of a sudden ?
Now I’m not surprised in the slightest you’d assume such ludicrous things.
So pointing out that when someone says “but Denuvo doesn’t let you play offline!” is a blatant lie, or that the guy complaining (without a single shred of evidence) that Denuvo kicks him out of multiplayer in Andromeduh is also a blatant lie (since it also happens in PS4 and XB1), or that same guy claiming that Lord of the Fallen crashed a lot at release because of Denuvo, when in reality it was just bugs and unoptimization of the game (which have been fixed over time with several patches), and the game STILL has Denuvo but it’s not crashing anymore, and I could go on and on, so all of that makes me a paid shill? lol, the level of discussion here is abysmal. You guys just hop on a bandwagon and won’t get off no matter how many times you’re proved wrong.
And I did say that blocking mods that need to modify the .exe file is a bad thing, now why would I say that if I were a ‘paid employee’.
First, yes. LotF works well now, not because of patches made to the game itself (although they help) but also to Denuvo. It was the game that taught me how to differentiate a crash caused by the game, and a crash made by Denuvo. The things this crap teaches you.
Second, my biggest gripes about Denuvo weren’t even about anything related to this. I only mentioned it because someone started to say that those who bought the games aren’t affected, only pirates. And I can atest that it is the contrary. Pirates wait to play the game, but then have no issues.
Third, the allegations weren’t proven false. They were impossible to assess clearly, although I know little about that specific part of it.
Fourth, for me the true problem with it is that it is a anti-tamper. Meaning it is meant to hinder not just crackers, but also modders, data miners and anyone trying to take a look at it. That is my biggest issue with it.
Denuvo is an attempt to turn a pc into a console ecosystem. And that is what I personally have a problem with. I will be extremely upset if someone simply skews fact to portray something negative as “not so terrible”, opposing the best interests of their actual consumers.
And as for “the games will be patched”, they should. But you always see devs not giving a damn about patching it, forcing the community to actually do it for them and we’re all ok with it. Well, I’m not.
You’re so intelligent….
First: Yes you can. A game, when it crashes, generates an error report to help people know what it is wrong, so it can be fixed. Go find out what happens when Denuvo crashes a game. But if you want to save time: It dumps everything in the memory, leaving you at the desktop without an error report (or anything)….. the more you know…
Second: You’re right, that happens all the time. And now many don’t even truly bother finishing it even. And we do get the patches earlier, but we get more crashes because of Denuvo. They don’t. See the issue? You can actually try this. People did. I did. Arkham Knight crashes (very rare, it happened about twice in my Steam version). After it was cracked? It hasn’t crashed yet. And I must have put a lot more hours in the cracked version. And I own the whole game.
Third: From what I saw, the only comparison is Denuvo v2. The v1 was removed so fast, that no one could really test it (it wasn’t cracked at the time). And you want a benchmark of it completely removed (not just circumvented)? Sure. According to the PCMR subreddit, Syberia 3 boots 40 seconds faster in the cracked version. I really want to see where they go from here.
Fourth: Did you know that Ubisoft gimped the PC version of Watchdogs so it wouldn’t make consoles look completely awful (in their very first year of existence). It was necessary some people looking at the code, removing a small snip of the code… and voilá, we got the game running as intended and with much better performance. We got that because we have the chance to check these games. That is the best part of the PC experience, that someone is looking out for you, the consumer. As for the modding community? Well, they’re where I get most of these news, they love what the crackers done and are doing because it helps them play with the games in their way. And if the mod touches the EXE file, it can’t be done unless the game is cracked. Any EXE or memory tamper will lead to Denuvo shutting it down. Pirates just taught modders where to touch (for now, Denuvo will get to them). Many of the possible ways to do that is because of those “filthy pirates”. And what do the modders do with it? Many times, actually improve your experience. And these companies are making anti-tamper to prevent just that. So forgive if I won’t praise that. Forgive if I won’t praise the jerk who hid bit coin mining software in their games and now can get handed a tool to try and hide it better. Forgive me if I don’t support a draconian measure that hinders our experience with a game. If developers were to put that money into the actual game, it would come out a better experience and actually sell better because of it.
But Denuvo can count on you to support them, right? They made your experience better, right?
Denuvo needing patching is a concern that should never affect anyone. We get screwed for their failures. Sony is gimping the PC gaming experience, and they even have advocates for their product.
It is not an extremely visible or with a high impact. But when you’re playing with your friends and you get kicked out by it, without even seeing the bug report to help fix the possible issue (knowing it won’t be fixed, not by your actions at that moment), you’ll get ticked. Not extremely ticked, not then. You’ll get like that when some people online, that can’t even muster a bit of consideration, go to say that you do not have a problem with it, that it does not impact you. Then you’ll be really “ticked”.
And those “stupid people” making excuses are just people trying to justify their actions. I risk to say that most of them are probably the ones who can’t afford the game. Because those that can afford it and still get it cracked, those are the idiots that don’t care how you perceive it or who it bothers. They won’t try to justify anything, they’ll just take and move on. And those that cannot afford it, pirate it. Have fun with it. And don’t feel bad. Only feel bad when you can afford it and screw others by not contributing to the industry that gets you that game you liked so much.
And your point is useless. Instead of interjecting those advocating for a better treatment of the costumers of this industry, you should inform or leave it alone. Because what you’re doing is defending a product that moves paying costumers to use cracks, when they could take the money they put into that protection and make a better game for all, thus removing their fault from the cracking of their games. Until Assassin’s Creed 2 online DRM, I never used a crack. How pathetic does it have to get? A costumer that bought their product having to crack the idiotic game to be able to play it? When will you stop defending their behaviour? When do we matter in all of this? When will you stop saying “do it, screw it” and start saying “it is terrible that you (who paid for a product) need to do something like that to improve your experience. They’re failing us.” Because I’ll I’m hearing is how not terrible I got and that it is a good thing, as if pirates aren’t playing Mass Effect or as if even guarantees sales (which is completely wrong). This DRM only helps Sony, no one else. Everyone else pays….just a little….at a time.
Sorry if I can’t fall in line with these apologies, but they sicken me to the core.
Everyone keeps pointing to that article and I have expressed my views on it repeatedly. I guess here we go again:
1st bullet point is fake. Denuvo works offline.
2nd bullet point is also fake, there are games with Denuvo that work both in MAC and Linux.
3rd bullet point: OMG such a BIG deal!!! Every now and then Denuvo silently contacts a server for validation, so you have to connect to the internet from time to time. HUGE drawback!
4th bullet point: fake. See bullet point #1.
5th bullet point: how exactly do you “prepare” to go offline? Also this point automatically invalidates point #1 and #4, which state that Denuvo games don’t work offline, period. But now if you mysteriously “prepare” your PC to be offline they do work.
6th bullet point: exactly the same as with Steam. If the servers go down, you can just use a crack.
7th bullet point: the ONLY legitimate issue (which I’ve always acknowledged) is the prevention to use mods that need to modify the .exe file.
8th bullet point: surprise, surprise, another fake. Rock Band VR is Oculus exclusive, uses Denuvo and it works with HTC Vive.
9th bullet point is beyond retarded. It basically blames Denuvo for something that Steam does.
10th bullet point: guess what, we have another winner (read: fake) As long as your backup connects to your Steam account you’ll be fine. The activation limit is 5 PCs each 24 hours, so you’ll be fine as long as you don’t spend those 24 hours running around town playing the same game on MORE than 5 computers.
11th bullet point: “blah blah Denuvo bad blah blah”
So you see, that “article” is plagued with misinformation and outright fabrications.
To be honest with you i don’t know why we try so damn hard to convince you about how $hit is Denuvo. if you like it and you don’t have any problem with it on your games Good for you.
Huh? Who says I like it? Where did I say or even implied that I like or I support it? Denuvo or any other DRM for that matter?
If you leave your bias aside for 5 minutes and read my posts you’ll see that I take issue with the fact that “””””legit users””””” are clinging to all these fake (except 1) issues to hate on Denuvo, which happens to be the hardest DRM to crack (this is purely a coincidence!)
TAGES is way, WAY worse than Denuvo, but it’s pretty easy to crack so nobody talks about it. I get it, it’s not as widespread as Denuvo is, but still.
By the way, care to counterpoint my critique of that “article”, or did I waste my time with you?
