Don't worry. Valve will convert all developers to SteamOS if Microsoft does something crazy with Windows 10 or next gen console doesn't offer b/c (PS5 or XBox 4) with current gen (XBoxOne or PS4).
our solution made a difference for this title
Not convinced that someone who pirates a game is someone who will never by it. Just seems to be justification for stealing.
Are you guys saying that if every game had DRM that all the pirates would give up gaming and go outside or read a book?
I was just having a convo with some co-workers today and they all complained about me buying the game (Despite getting it a discounted price) for a 10ish hour long game. Once they heard the news of this game being cracked. They were about positive about the game and how the plan to pirate it now. I was low-key upset with how ignorant they were being. These are grown men that work fulltime for an IT company. But, I guess people have their money priorities on different things.. Maybe I'm just a fanboy for the RE series. I don't know, but I will admit that kind of attitude bothered me a bit.

Actually, yes this IS what people seem to imply. And its ridiculous.
I would not buy a game with an expiration date built-in by Denuvo.
Glad that the console version of Resident Evil 7 is free of this DRM/malware.
How is it that Resident Evil gets cracked lightning quick, but games like Just Cause 3 are still on the fence?

It's just such a difficult thing to calculate though. How many of those people would actually buy the game if they couldn't pirate it? I think that's where the argument "they're not losing sales" stems from. It does make sense but of course there are probably people who would buy the game if they couldn't pirate it. It's just not as black and white as people make it out to be.
So you don't buy any games on Steam at all?
You know what? My friend who is always short on money most of the time and more likely to pirate games than buying it on Steam actually bough Darkest Dungeon when it was on sale because the constant updates makes pirating it cause more headache alongside the grind. Convenience DO make a lot of difference and people are willing to pay for some price if it is available to them.yes, because that level of convenience somehow trumps over saving hundreds of dollars per month while getting everything (main game,dlcs,latest updates/patches) for free.

That's a shame. Hopefully piracy won't be too bad on the games sales.
Does this mean future Denuvo games or going to be cracked earlier?
There is a decent 'essay/study' of the topic here, which basically expands on the scale of piracy and how the percentage of pirate:genuine copy, of some games has been over 90% in certain cases.

How people can say that games being downloaded 100,000's of times, illegally, has no impact on lost sales, is beyond me though.
Let me give you a pro tip
You can't actually track how many times someone downloaded a file from a torrent by tracking how many times the torrent itself was downloaded.
And not everyone who pirates a game is a person who would have otherwise bought the game and just pirated it instead. Few people have the thought process of "I want to pirate this but if not I'll pay $60 for it." For most pirates the process is "I will never buy this game, but if I can pirate it, I will." So the game not being available to be pirated won't increase the sales from those people. In fact, many pirates live in regions where games they're pirating aren't even really available, or are prohibitively expensive.
Just dual boot an existing PC with SteamOS and Windows. Two in one: gaming PC and workstation unless the user requires the PC to crunch data 24/7.Yeah...........that's not going to happen...... majority of gamers and people do more than just play games.

there is no windos to dual boot into, there never was and never will be - however if there was, then why dual boot instead of just launching big picture mode?Just dual boot an existing PC with SteamOS and Windows.

I don't think it affects sales, if people want to priate something, it's unlikely that they would buy it instead if it's not available due to DRM
So you don't play games since 2007. Okay.
DRM is one of the reasons I stopped gaming on pc, I avoid any product with DRM on PC like the plague. I know I could have gone with a dedicated gaming PC, but a console is cheaper and less hassle.
Disappointing for capcom.
A game with Denuvo isn't future proof. I see no reason to buy it at this time.
Capcom gets a full refund of their Denuvo fees under the agreement for this, plus they got a little dose of extra publicity and their game protected from release day cracks, which is pretty important for them in the scheme of things.

If Denuvo becomes consistently broken within a week of release going forward I think we will see the 'strategic delay' of PC games return.
I was assuming Windows will be a walled garden that penalise non-Windows 10 store client. But that is the last thing I assume Microsoft will do since it's borderline crazy.there is no windos to dual boot into, there never was and never will be - however if there was, then why dual boot instead of just launching big picture mode?

Shouldn't be bigger than the will-not-buy-if-shitty-DRM demographic.Was there any proof that the will-buy-if-no-crack demographic is insignificant or nonexistant?
I have only seen this once in my life within my circles. Also, you forget the crowd who refuse to buy games with such DRM methods. Oh and the people who can't afford games (the majority of pirates) won't be able to magically buy one if DRM doesn't let them pirate it.How about the flip side then? Not everyone who downloads a game illegally *wouldn't* have considered buying it, if it was the only way to play the game.
Early access is iirc banned in warez sceneWe will see if Conan Exiles (released two days ago)
.(For Honor, if it's not online only)
yeah survival sandbox games are in it forever :-DIf that's the case, Early Access is easily the best DRM there is.
So releasing broken games is the best DRM? This explains some PC ports then.Games like Just Cause 3 and Tales of Berseria are uncracked currently, because CYP waits for the patches to fix the shit that they are currently and then they will crack. They crack games that don't have utter shit performance or stupid bugs in them.
