I guess it's safe to say that Denuvo is done for good now, and good riddance! Tekken 7 went down even faster than Resident Evil 7 if I'm not mistaken. Denuvo is not anti-piracy but plain simple anti-consumer at this point.

R.I.P Denuvo - Tekken 7 and Dishonored 2 cracked
- Thread starter Elven_Star
- Start date
I don't get it. Why is safe to say they are done? I read somewhere that the idea was to keep it protected for the first few weeks where most of the sales are. Even if 1/5 games are cracked within the first two weeks that still seems like an ok deal.

Especially great for Tekken 7 which has just been released, can't wait to see the sales

Is that new record? Only danger if Denuvo go down is Microsoft can fool some suit into thinking UWP is great because otherwise evil pirates will steal all their profits.

This should teach them to not mess with consumers with anti consumers tactics that only harm consumers in the end.

Tekken 7 cracked in 4 days.
Not only have this continued the streak of their games being busted early, but in one case it has been proven their DRM worsens game preformance.
So only one case of a performance hit and a rumored lawsuit are enough to say they're done?

Just so you know, this isn't the same crack method as the other groups, atleast for Dishonoured 2. The EXE is unmodified, apparently, and there's a keygen in play. I don't know how any of that works, but it's interesting info. They didn't have to remove the triggers supposedly.

I wonder which one of your family members Denuvo has killed.

Have I missed something? I've been out of the loop regarding Denuvo I guess. What's anti-consumer about them? I know a lot of games have been dropping Denuvo after six months or so, so I'm not real worried about it from a long term game preservation standpoint. What's wrong with anti-aircraft upfront?

Good. Maybe now developpers will stop wasting money for a dumb DRM like this.
Denuvo doesn't remove itself, tho it happened that doom and inside had it removed by the devs a few months after launch
How exactly does piracy affect the paying consumer? Or the developers and publishers either? People who pirate games would in most cases never buy them anyway. Either because they can't, or simply don't want to.
There's also the streak of games that are being broken within the launch window. If devs are serious about preventing piracy, would they Keep going with the one that is constantly broken too early?
It was in one game only so far.

I liked Denuvo, it was unintrusive in my cases and supposedly no performance was lost with it? At least all I've seen is just speculation with no proofs, same with the "It'll kill your SSD" stuff.
It was good while it lasted, clearly Denuvo is not up to the task anymore and stronger DRM methods are needed.

I don't know how much licencing and implementation costs, but its pretty likely a non-trivial amount that would be better spent on making legitimate customers game better than trying to block illegitimate usage

A Denuvo game that runs well how can this possibly. All we here is how Denuvo sabotages a games performance!
Yea it's unfortunately only the biggest fighting game launch on steam, those devs really got screwed by this Crack
The one single game to remove Denuvo without having been cracked first was Homefront: Revolution. Every other one only did so after getting cracked. Not very helpful for preservation if one doesn't ever get cracked.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't play online with a cracked version, so for a game like Tekken it doesn't really matter, if people pirate it and enjoy it they'll have to buy it to access the main part of the game.
I mean you're kinda fooling only yourself to think that Denuvo goes down another company/solution won't step in to take its place bc the demand from publishers is there.

Even 5k would be better spent putting one developper for a month to fix some silly isues some games have. Namely Nier Automata.

Just buy your fucking games you reprobates.
You can as of 18 mins ago. Only with other people using the cracked version though.
I think you need to get in the relaxi taxi my dude. No one here is advocating for piracy.

Ah. I assumed they weren't cracked. That makes sense.

I do buy them, and I'd much rather buy them without the exe being tied up to Denuvo's shit making modding a nightmare.

Rime's developer dropped Denuvo in a week after it got cracked.
Thats because they made a personal challenge and agreed to remove it if it was defeated, and apparently it was a real bad implementation apparently
From the NFO:
"In previous games like Sgw3, Nier, Prey there were only about 1000 triggers called, so we have x300 here. Next 300,000 called triggers were just warmup for Denuvo, after 30 minutes of gameplay it became 2 fing MILLIONS of called triggers. Protection now calls about 10-30 triggers every second during actual gameplay, slowing game down. In previous games like Sgw3, Nier, Prey there were only about 1-2 triggers called every several minutes during gameplay, so do the math.

Not sure why people are so mad at Denuvo?
The companies making games clearly want a DRM solution, which Denuvo provides. Sure, Denuvo can go away and then another however many will rise right behind it.
If the people making games want DRM on their games, Denuvo going out of business likely isn't going to stop that.

Has it been proven that piracy significantly reduces game sales in a games first few weeks? Since Denuvo came out have PC game sales dramatically increased as a result?
