Rumor: Grand Theft Auto V will use additional DRM on PC (Steam + Denuvo)

[crimsonheadGCN]

Edit: It seems that Denuvo is not in GTAV:

Hi guys got some news for PC players.

Rockstar will use new DRM system in GTA 5 for PC. This system is Denuvo, which also used in FIFA 15 and Lords of the Fallen.
This System uses special code which changes every time so this DRM is still not hacked, and I think it wont be.
No more piracy on PC and only way you can play GTA 5 its Steam.

Got this info today. Also today Denuvo updated partners on their site. Rockstar now here too. So its confirmed.

Site http://www.denuvo.com

I think it is good they fight piracy, but Denuvo is very hard DRM and some people can have crashes or another issues like in Lords of the Fallen.
What are you think?

This is pretty dumb. They could have just used Steam. Denuvo is supposedly like SecuROM.

 

[Seanspeed]

I will not

Spoiler

happily

accept this whatsoever.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Because DRM always works.

 

[Pinktaco]

So DRM on top of DRM? What happens once that's hacked? A third DRM?

 

[CountAntonius]

Do people pirate games that require steam?

 

[JohnGrimm]

Jeeze, I heard this stuff fucks with games pretty bad.

 

[blackMamba1187]

We're back to this?

Publishers, again, trying to put me off of my hobby.

 

[Adamas]

Well, as long as it's not Windows Games Live. Oh my god that was awful. Didn't they removed WGL on GTAIV recently ? Are they that dense ?

 

[luca_29_bg]

it will be really soon hacked...

 

[Kezen]

So...GTA 5 is Steamworks ? Even the retail copies ?

 

[bananafactory]

In a world...where DRM has DRM...

 

[Maintenance]

DRM, the answer for all your problems.

 

[BeforeU]

cool. You shouldn't be pirating anyways.

 

[iNvid02]

this is from the people that brought you securom, ffs i hated that piece of shit.

still, its impressive that both those games remain uncracked

 

[robotrock]

speechless.

 

[Marauder Shields]

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Wow, combined with the "here's content you can only play if you bought a last gen version" R* really don't want me buying their fucking game at anything other than Steam Sale pickup pricing.

 

[BHK3]

Do people pirate games that require steam?

Having a dupe steam.exe isn't hard. You've never seen someone in your friendslist play a game but when you check it says "Non-Steam" game?

 

[Ultimadrago]

DRM? Planned pre-order

Spoiler

ideally

cancelled.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

So...GTA 5 is Steamworks ? Even the retail copies ?

Yes, even retail copies I believe.

Do people pirate games that require steam?

Yes, there are people who do. Steam's DRM is easy to crack, but it's very helpful in stopping pre-release games from being pirated.

 

[The Janitor]

it will be really soon hacked...

And the paying consumers will be the only ones affected by this crap.

 

[alr1ght]

Thanks for dicking over your paying customers.

 

[CambriaRising]

Will they patch it out when its inevitably cracked?

 

[Adry9]

This is like a call for hackers to get to work even earlier.

 

[Prevolition]

All the more reason for pirates to justify piracy. DRM that hinders a game is not the answer.

 

[Sir TapTap]

Uuuughhhh think I'll be waiting on a steam sale here

 

[Tagyhag]

Wow thanks Rockstar! I love how they listen to their fans.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

And the paying consumers will be the only ones affected by this crap.

and you know it

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Steam sale it is then. Or I'll just go PS4.

 

[Firebrand]

Did not know LotF had this thing. I guess that one can slide further down the wishlist then.

edit: Not seeing anything on LotF's page about DRM. Hm.

 

[Son Of D]

Can't say I'm surprised.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

If this hurts performance like some people have claimed it does in Lords of the Fallen, then they can fuck right off. I'll avoid every game with it.

 

[luca_29_bg]

And the paying consumers will be the only ones affected by this crap.

I know, but it's true that this drm affects perfomance ? I have read something about this thing and lords of the fallen

 

[Etnos]

DRM is not cool, but people should enrage at pirates not the studios protecting their intellectual property.

Would you like your products to be steal freely?

 

[Nokterian]

I will be avoiding games who use this. Like securom that is the plague for pc gaming.

 

[Realyn]

Will they patch it out when its inevitably cracked?

So basically put it into their day1 patch?

Isn't stuff like this just a challenge to crack it lol? Piracy exists. Live with it. You can adjust many things, but DRM won't help one bit.

 

[CountAntonius]

Having a dupe steam.exe isn't hard. You've never seen someone in your friendslist play a game but when you check it says "Non-Steam" game?

Yes, even retail copies I believe.

Oh I thought that's when you added a non steam game to your games list so you could launch it through steam.

Yes, there are people who do. Steam's DRM is easy to crack, but it's very helpful in stopping pre-release games from being pirated.

Ah ok.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Will this interfere with mods?

 

[Corpekata]

Wasn't there allegations this DRM was one of the problems with Lords of the Fallen's shaky launch? Not sure if it ever panned out, but I'd like to see a list of exactly which games are using this and see how many of them have had poor PC versions.

 

[DieH@rd]

Denuvo is strong shit. Fifa15 is still not cracked.

This move will give GTA5 at lest month or two [or six] of no cracks.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Shining Sunshine]

I hate Ford cars because of DRM!

 

[Amagon]

I'm over it. Just don't give me some shit like activation limit and I'll be happy.

 

[AuthenticM]

This System uses special code which changes every time so this DRM is still not hacked, and I think it wont be.

We'll see about that.

 

[Rapstah]

Does every Rockstar PC game have to have some fucking thing between Steam and the actual game? Who did what to Rockstar to cause this?

 

[Hypron]

I can't believe people are still introducing new DRM crap in 2014.

 

[The Janitor]

Will this interfere with mods?

I have a strong feeling it will

 

[feel]

Because PC players waiting for GTA5 haven't suffered enough, for fucks sake.. This better be the mother of all well optimized PC ports.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Oh, that's alright, I'll just keep my money then. The late release was bad enough but they can fuck right off with this shit.

 

[Corpekata]

Will this interfere with mods?

Rockstar in general will. They don't like them and patches frequently deliberately broke them. It wasn't until the game was not being patched anymore that we saw real movement on that front, especially since people had to brute force everything.
