You're right, denuvo isn't consumer friendly, nor does it even perform it's intended function well. Plus removing it would be free publicity and probably worth the single workday of dev time it'd take to disable the associated code.
So it's also odd that it hasn't been removed yet in that sense too, seeing as there's no contractual reason to keep denuvo in for more than a year from how I understand they word their contracts. Plus removing it would be free publicity and probably worth the single workday of dev time it'd take to disable the associated code.ĮDIT: and it's also looking like this will be the only tales game on steam with Denuvo, at this rate, seeing as Vesperia DE lacks it and Tales of Arise has no markings for it on the steam page as of yet.
probably a demand for that somewhere out there.ĮDIT: and it's also looking like this will be the only tales game on steam with Denuvo, at this rate, seeing as Vesperia DE lacks it and Tales of Arise has no markings for it on the steam page as of yet.
Hell you could probably find a cracked exe which takes out the denuvo scripts but leaves the steamworks DRM ones, letting you still use it with steam. For some people this is a complete dealbreaker and for people in rural areas with bad internet or otherwise limited access to internet this is an outright punishment for them. There's a clear problem with that which only harms law-abiding consumers. I can go download a cracked copy from some shady site of my choice and I'd be able to play it completely offline, with better peformance and less strain on my PC compared to the legal version. At least at this point it does, all while completely failing at its job because the game was cracked years ago at this point (less than a week from launch IIRC). People don't buy games with denuvo because it punishes the consumer for buying it legally. If you buy this game, you could have hundreds of hours of enjoyment with no issues, so what's the big deal? Are you really going to let something so insignificant get in the way of having so much fun? I don't understand why people would refuse to buy a game based on something that doesn't affect them. I've played it several times now and will be playing it again when I find time, I've enjoyed it very much each time. I don't see what the big deal is, denuvo won't actually stop you from playing the game, and it won't stop you from enjoying it. Originally posted by Demi:It doesn't matter.
