That guy rubbed me the wrong way especially at the end talking about how you can't trust people "related to the pirating scene" and their claims about Denuvo, but you can totally trust the people who make it and need to make money off it.

Also the Denuvo dude referencing a study and using it to show why companies need Denuvo and then walking it back and saying he doesn't trust the study because it also shows that after 3 months it's useless was honestly just kind of funny.

I guess since I've pirated a game before I'm "related to the scene" so my opinion therefore is invalid in the eyes of the all mighty denuvo but I hope they crash and burn, and if it's true that they hire the people who crack their games I hope they fuck it up from the inside while getting paid.

What do you expect from RPS, Kotaku, IGN, and the rest of the games "journalists"? Journalistic integrity?

That would require an actual journalism degree.

I don't really follow gaming "journalism" as much as I used to, but I thought that RPS was pretty reputable, at least compared to IGN and it's contemporaries. Has something changed?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

RPS is circling the drain, they don't have some key people anymore like Alice.

Well, for one, IGN has hired a few really good investigative journalists in recent years.
