Honestly, Denuvo makes me want to sail the high seas. When I browse Steam and see Denuvo, I mentally write off the game, saying "Might buy this in a couple of years if they fix this shit." If the company fails to do so, the game becomes valid to pirate, far as I am personally concerned.

I am not paying money to be rootkitted.

Sometimes i pirate games I’ve bought so I don’t have to deal with this nonsense. Like titanfall.

Right? In the past we got software for free when we let companies use our data. Now they want to take our money too.

“Might buy this in a couple of years if they fix this shit.”

Why wait? Pirate today.

Because Denuvo games take a long time to crack, and only a few people can do it reliably? There are games released as far back as 2018 that still haven’t been cracked.

Yeah I don't remember the last time I pirated a game but Denuvo just gives me an ick and I'd rather not.
