Denuvo wants to convince you its DRM isn’t “evil”
COO says coming benchmarks will show anti-piracy tech has no performance impact.
You're viewing a single thread.
"Anti-piracy technologies is to the benefit of the game publishers, [but also] is of benefit to the players in that it protects the [publisher's] investment and it means the publishers can then invest in the next game"
The only entity benefiting in this scenario is Denuvo, while the client clutches their pearls to protect a misguided concept of the elusive lost sale. Denuvo rakes in cash in the name of copy protection, but the truth is most acts of piracy are driven by a lack of means to obtain the product or a desire to demo the product.
Sure it's their right to protect it but I don't think there's any accurate way to actually measure the impact of games with and without such aggressive copy protection.
Yep. Piracy has never resulted in a lost sale.
But piracy has resulted in people buying games they wouldnt have otherwise.
I wish the entire industry would choke and die on this entire fucking "1 download = 1 lost sale" hysterical nonsense.
Saying piracy has never resulted in lost sale is the same as saying it always results in a lost sale.
