@trinux es muy triste que muchos juegos vayan mejor siendo pirateados y eliminado #Denuvo que su correspondiente original con el mismo. Es algo que deberían de hacerse mirar las compañías, GoG con su #DRM free es un ejemplo de hacer bien las cosas. Con los precios que hay hoy en día en PC creo que piratear es algo anecdótico

Always check for the inclusion of #Denuvo or other kernel-level #DRM before buying a new game. That horrible Digital Ransomware Mechanic should not be on any computer, should not be in any game, and should not exist. Nor should anything like it. I've been a strong opponent of DRM since the days of SecuRom, and will never support it willingly. Companies who include DRM show they don't care about their customers. Vote with your wallet and don't take their shit even if they try to paint it gold.

More #Denuvo DRM removal news with Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven dropping their irdeto subscription.

There's still an awful lot of games which are still under that sad umbrella, but I'd say the number of gamers like me who refuse to buy a game which performs worse than if it had no Denuvo are little.

Still, good news regardless!

Like to the #Steam DB change here:
steamdb.info/depot/2455641/his

#Denuvo DRM has been removed from Nikoderiko: The Magical World.

I'd hazard this one was dropped because:

They paid for Denuvo, and they ended up with 145 all-time reviews on #Steam (at the time of removal)

𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝟧𝟦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩

To be fair, now I'll buy it. A platformed inspired by Donkey Kong Country and Crash Bandicoot? There's too few fun games like that, so one more can't hurt!

Gamedev: Adds #Denuvo to their game.
The community's reaction: 😠 😡 ⚔️ ☠️
Gamedev: :pika: - *peddles back*. "Thank you for letting us know you don't like it. We decided not to add it then."

They NEVER fucking learn. Don't expect me to thank you for that decision. By now it should be known to everyone and their mother that nobody likes #Denuvo because it is 100% anti-consumer and brings no benefit for anyone.

Everyone's least favorite part of modern #gaming - #Denuvo has 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 been removed from another game.

#FinalFantasy 16 is now free from DRM, exactly 6 months later. This is a clear 6 month contract which has run its course (Denuvo costing 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 25K per month on games it is enabled on)

Will performance improve? It may be imperceptible, or it may be enormous, but yes. It will. Stupid Denuvo.

I bought #MonsterHunterWilds to play on #linux today.

The #gamingonlinux support is not quite there yet and the game crashes ~every hour. Not great, but not terrible.

Unfortunately for me, after my 5th crash and reboot, I'm greeted with an error: the game uses #Denuvo #DRM, which limits me to 5 installations on a new computer every 24 hour period.

Looks like the Denuvo DRM considers every run of my game as a separate installation, so I LITERALLY can't use the game I bought today anymore.
