If I purchased this from humble bundle does it make any difference?
No. You're getting the same version as everyone else. Steam + Denuvo.

it's not the full thing, but the stream was thrown together on short notice and the dude was in a meeting right before the announcement

Sure, don't let me play Sonic Mania offline, but you sure as hell allow Sonic 4 to be played offline...thanks...
Even people at Sega don't agree with this move lol. This is partially why I respect Aaron Webber.Aaron Webber encourages you to complain about the DRM on the link here :

Curiouser and curiouser esp with sega eu handling vanquish and bayonettainteresting that he links to SEGA.co.uk
guess it was a SEGA of Europe decision
You can't play the game offline, to begin with.
Yep, that's the reason Bethesda games like FO4 and Skyrim Special Edition doesn't have them.
Same with XCOM2.
A shame, considering the background of some developers that work on the game.
So it has Denuvo + another DRM for always online?As per Kaldaien:
Always online is not caused by Denuvo, that's on Sega alone.
Wow. So now they decide to reveal that it has Denuvo? Literally hours from the game's release? That is deceptive and shady as hell. I'm apparently fucked since I bought and redeemed a Steam key from Bundle Stars (they're legit before you ask), because Steam's refund policy doesn't cover resold keys and Bundle Stars won't honor a revealed/redeemed key. Which is terrible because I never would have purchased this game if I had known it would have Denuvo.
I wonder if I have any kind of recourse. I'll be contacting Bundle Stars. Hopefully they can make an exception given the circumstances. This shit was literally forced on me without my knowledge and I am not happy.
What? SkySE has plenty of mods. Do you mean SKSE64?
And then they will complain PC games don't sell very well.They spend shiton of money and delayed it, hence losing more sales, for a DRM that will lead to... more lost sales.

Sega UK huh.
Take with a mountain of salt but I heard off the grapevine that this was Sega Europe's call, extremely last minute. Interesting that he linked to their website when referring to letting voices be heard by the right people. ��
As someone who got it from the same place I'm definitely interested in hearing if there's any success with this; it seems to be suggested that refunds aren't possible, but if they're making exceptions for this I'll definitely be trying it.
I have no issue with Denuvo because it rarely if ever affects the game. Always online DRM though, that's fucking bullshit, so fuck you Sega.

You delayed the game for 2 weeks to implement Denuvo DRM, a system that causes constant CPU and disk read/writes and increases wear and tear on user's machines?
It's literally a punishment that affects only your paying customers.
I will most likely be requesting a refund and taking my $20 to the PS4.
I will also be avoiding SEGA PC releases in the future as long as this is your DRM of choice.
I don't give companies money to damage my equipment.
Denuvo itself enforces periodic online checks.If Sonic Mania flat out isn't working in offline mode, that's really screwed up.
Denuvo itself does not enforce an online connection.
Like you, we've noticed an error in the Steam store not mentioning the DRM for Sonic Mania.
We're fixing that now.
Sonic Mania is intended to be played offline and we're investigating reports on that.
We're also investigating other issues like controller support, these are all PC specific things that Christian and the team have been working on these last few weeks
Please bare with us while we collate and investigate problems that are being brought to our attention
Wait, they delayed the game 2 weeks and there's problems with controller support?We're also investigating other issues like controller support, these are all PC specific things that Christian and the team have been working on these last few weeks

A 2 week delay to implement DRM that increases wear and tear on user's machines for a 20$, 320 MB game?
Fuck you, Sega.
Denuvo is quite literally a punishment for paying customers.
You pay for the privilege of having your computer constantly work far harder than it needs to.
I'm downloading on Steam right now, but I have more than half a mind to get a refund and take my 20 dollars to the PS4.
sega UK is sega europe
this is disappointing
Hah, funnily enough a game I have that exact problem with is... Sega Rally Revo (bought via Direct2Drive).Google Securom incompatibility with Windows 10 and have a look at some of the games affected. Denuvo is the next DRM method from the same developers, and has a similar potential to leave games unplayable if their servers are deactivated or the OS blocks the DRM.
