I bet you will buy it anyways. There's no denying that.
Was just about to buy on Steam... then noticed: Denuvo
- Thread starter doswelk
- Start date
Not sure if this helps, but i own planet coaster and they seem to use it there too.. its completely transparent.. there is no indication its on my machine at all.
How about having IDA installed? Also, having to phone them up after using up your "activation limit" just plain sucks. The car analogy doesn't work at all because, well, it's simply not fitting. You can't just copy a car, for starters.
Bottom line: Denuvo is a short-term investment protection device for publishers. It has no benefits for customers, only drawbacks and limitations. Whether you perceive those as severe or not is up to you.
Oh for crying out loud. There is no limit! You can reinstall the game any number of times you want.
The only "limit" is 5 activations a day so yes, if you REALLY need to install your game on six different PCs in the same day, then you will have a "problem" - which consist of waiting 24 hours before installing it on the sixth machine... That's probably the most first-world problem I've heard of.
And it does have one clear benefit for customers - the dev studio will be able to afford to make the next game.
And yes, Denuvo doesn't like some dev tools and software. Well, if you have six computers, surely you can afford to have one clean gaming rig without it.
