Denuvo’s quest to improve its reputation with PC gamers is personal.

    The upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard will somewhat surprisingly not use Denuvo at all

    There’s the tell. Publishers might start listening to their customers, who generate income, rather than their vendors’ sales personnel, who create expenses. He’s panicked over a potential existential crisis.

    The steam-forums are often toxic and hostile. But denuvo also is and every hate justified. It does absolutely nothing good for the honest consumer. Quite the contrary.

    I haven’t bought a Denuvo-protected game in about a decade, and that isn’t going to change.

      Denuvo-protectedinfested

      FTFY. The notion that Denuvo “protects” anything whatsoever is itself accidental pro-Denuvo loaded language.

        Nah, that’s a dumb take. Denuvo does protect from casual piracy - even if only temporarily - that’s why companies use it.

        It also negatively affects legit consumers, and that is the problem - these publishers have decided that potential profit matters more than actual, realized customers.
