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.

    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.

    Fuck Denuvo. They just slithered their way into Undisputed with the 1.0 update and I’m stuck without a boxing game again.

      They are trying to “save face” by shit talking while refusing to show any true evidence that their product does not impact performance.

      People are tired of it so they stop buying games that have Denuvo. Denuvo needs to look like a sound investment, but it’s bleeding out because it really isn’t, and companies are likely losing more than they are actually gaining via sales because of Denuvo, thus some companies are distancing themselves and Denuvo is losing money.

      The PR firm they hired must have not googled how hated they were ahead of time. How long till we see bots saying hey love getting broken games with spyware.

    If anyone deserves the Steam forums’ shit it’s these cunts.

    No amount of hostility will ever reach the levels they’ve earned with their malware shit.

    You know, i prefer my cyberpunk dystopias to be ballsy enough to just say it with their chest. You’d never catch Lofwyr groveling like this.

    I’d also very much prefer dragons, or at least technological implants, but whatever.

    I’m with the company for such a long time," said Ullmann. "The guys here are like my family, because a lot of the others here are also here for ages. It just hurts to see what’s posted out there about us, even though it has been claimed wrong for hundreds of times.

    It hurts???
    I understand he’s being paid to gobble corporate dick, but at least try to mask it like most people do lmao

    You couldn’t pay me to embarrass myself like this
