Can't wait for UE5 games to run at 3.14 FPS
I hope Irdeto goes bankrupt

I question why they're still making this crap. It's just a program/process that performa useless checks all the while bogging down game performance.

Play any CoD, Tarkov, ... any online game at all and you'll have cheaters. So what, ban them and be done with it. The only poeple actually impacted here are the ones that don't like to install spyware onto their systems. The ones that just wanna play the damn game. Same with copy protection. The main reason I started ripping movies off DVDs is because I didn't want to sit through copyright warnings for minutes ... every time.

You cannot prove lost sales through piracy. While I personally have not been negatively impacted by Denuvo, it clearly benefits people who pirate more than people who don't. The overwhelming majority of people who buy a game were going to buy it anyway, not because it'll take a week for the pirates to release a Denuvo-free copy. It's a waste of everyone's time and money.

Personally, I'd be much more okay with Denuvo's usage in games if developers and publishers would actually go back and remove it. But here we are, how many years later with games like Metal Gear Solid V still being stuck with it.
