Denuvo = 🤮
The cracks, they don’t remove our protection. The cracks still have all our code in and all our code is executed. There is even more code on top of the cracked code - that is executing on top of our code, and causing even more stuff to be executed. So there is technically no way that the cracked version is faster than the uncracked version
That’s some bigly code there.
This quote gives confirmation he is indeed a Project Manager.
Most games with denuvo are not even worth playing. If you are scared of piracy, then your game fucking sucked to begin with.
I just read that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has apparently said it’s gonna use Denuvo. It’s the first time a game that’s been on my radar has used it to my knowledge. I saw some comments where people said they’ll just wait a year until it’s removed and then buy it. Fuck that. You screw me over at release and I’ll just pirate it. I still haven’t finished the first game so waiting until it’s cracked is no issue.
Yeah, there’s so many games now, I can easily fill time before games are actually in a release state… a year after they actually released.
If they add denuvo they are clearly not very confident their game is worth the price they are asking, so why should we believe it’s worth that much?
I’m willing to bet most people haven’t finished the first one like you, because that game is fucking boring as hell. I know that’s why I never finished it lol. Historical accuracy =/= fun.
I honestly find their “historical accuracy” claims kinda comical. Yeah it’s better than most games for sure, but it still only pays lip service to accuracy in a lot of aspects for the sake of the game’s story. Henry has a completely fantastical rise from blacksmith’s apprentice to de facto military commander.
No, I did really enjoy it. I just don’t spend an enormous amount of time gaming, and the time I do spend is most often in completely different genres that I can play with friends while chatting on Discord, like RTS (Age of Empires mostly) and survival crafters (like Raft and DST).
I found it pretty enjoyable, but never finished because the plot begins to drag towards the midpoint of the game. I actually really enjoyed the combat and the layered systems, but once you get to a point where you can just hardcore train your character for a few weeks, the game quickly loses all challenge.
There is only two ways to protect a game against piracy, right? Either you don’t, or use our protection
this is the most denuvo quote i could possibly think of. it’s beyond parody, and yet, they went and said it anyway
The whole thing is full of that kind of “drink their own kool-aid” propagandist thinking. It’s wild they expect anyone to take them seriously here.
“Any man who must say, ‘I am a gamer’ is no true gamer.” - George GAMR.R. Martin
Calling all their critics salty pirates is one surefire way to pit people against you real quick - especially when you’re already pretty reviled by the gaming community
I wonder how it feels putting all this work into these protections only for your game to get cracked anyway.
It’s almost like this strategy doesn’t actually work.
The reason why DMR tends to get cracked is that the concept is inherently flawed. If the entire game runs on your machine, then everything needed to run the game has to be on your machine at some point. DMR is security by obscurity.
So there is a huge community, a lot of people on this planet who are not able to play their favorite video games, because they are not willing to pay for them […]
Why are dirty Burundi pirates not willing to save up their eighty-eight cent per day wages to play their favorite games? 😠
Hondurans are making ten times that. Some of them still aren’t willing to pay? I could vomit.

Denuvo working on their propaganda I see
Time to boycott harder
You can be arrested just for saying you’re a gamer.
