Kudos to Ars Technica to interviewing the Devil. The comments section of that post is *not *kind.

So pirating a game that ships with Denuvo is good for consumers, and practically a moral obligation for anybody that likes video games.

I think Denuvo prevents the piracy effectively enough that consumers would need to spend their money elsewhere to prove a point. Either way, developers get screwed with potential layoffs due to poor sales.

Piracy and DRM both suck. I say buy games from devs whose publishers choose not to use DRM besides say, Steam.
