I think we're down to only 1, maybe 2 people that can crack Denuovo. One of them is a raging psychopath lol
I think in the end Denuovo is going to win. :(
Nah... in the end, indie developers and people who don't want to blow 70+ on an unfinished poorly optimized pile of shit with Denuvo icing will win.
I don't really give a shit if it goes away.
I'm boycotting to save myself from more BSODs and bad performance, (even ABZU refused to run right on my computer and most of my MGS5 playtime was wrestling with getting things working and putting in validation numbers), and my backlog—like I'm sure most gamers' is—is full of stuff to play without Denuvo.
Plus, there's a weird (little but there) overlap of stuff that has Denuvo... keeps Denuvo... and gets launched on Gog and others without any DRM included... so, even the "surely they'll patch it out" idea doesn't hold water either.
It's actually the other way around historically speaking, more DRM and locking down causes people to care less. The latest Darknet Diaries episode is about Team Xecuter, I think you would really enjoy that one! ;)
Honestly, good. It's made devs want to release on PC again.
It's now the price of GPUs that's really holding it back.
Dev's don't want Denuovo. Publishers or more specifically Investors want Denuovo cause they don't understand or care what the end users want or how it negatively impacts them to have intrusive DRM. On their little power point, it says Denuovo saves them money, and that makes them happy. Even when that couldn't be further from the truth.
