![]() ![]() Till I showed him I owned over 1500 games on steam because it's easy to buy games on there and the only time I advocate piracy is against shitty DRM (which my favorite counter argument for it is always "Denuvo doesn't actually do anything bad.") When the game is not available to purchase, or when you are low on cash because you paid off your bills or bought food and you want something new to play. Hell I had someone use that line on me in a steam forum claiming I just wanted free shit. We barely have refund processes in place when it comes to digital gaming and not much anywhere else. Its up to every one of us to say no to those exploits so that the gaming industry as a whole can be all the better for it.Īs an American I can confirm that is the case. The "AAA" gaming industry aka big companies like EA, Activision and Ubisoft are always trying to exploit gamers and potential customers. Thankfully most people are wising up to these greedy companies scheme and are becoming more vigilant. But then again.these are fanboys and they are the worst. So I can't really understand why they would even defend anti-consumer practices which will essentially only affect themselves in the short and long term. ![]() Meanwhile, legit customers will be stuck with DRM ridden version of those games and sooner or later.incidents like this one can happen to them. Crackers will sooner or later crack every kind of DRM, essentially "freeing them". Recent example is EA's Star Wars Battlefront 2 with its outrageous lootboxes / microtransaction schemes.Īnd historically speaking, DRM like Denuvo is cancer for legit customers at the end of the day. If we collectively say no to anti-consumerist practices, vote with our wallets and don't buy those games, only then will these greedy companies learn and turn around. Its because of these fanboys does greedy companies get away with all the shady anti-consumer business practices. They will defend their games as if their lives are dependent on it even if something is absolutely indefensible. Its a pity how the PC gaming industry changed to full blown GREED and stupid fanboy supporting this and DEFENDING this. Some even say that where will we get good games if those companies close, i tell them that they will learn quickly and adapt if they see people do not buy their games anymore because they are sick of being ripped off by GREED, they still do not understand or accept this. I thought people (does not matter age) could see what is happening and being ripped of, but majority too stupid it seems. According to the sheep its acceptable and all above what you said. They just pay, whether they are being ripped of or not. The majority are sheep and follow blindly and without question. There are just to few of us that actually have brains to see what is going on and how we are being screwed. I have been saying this every chance i could, especially on Steam and got crucified for saying that. So I would urge everyone to let your voices be heard against these kinds of draconian DRM.Īlso, check out the barrage of negative reviews on Steam for this game thanks to this DRM Fast forward to today with games implemented with Denuvo and we're looking at similar situation down the road if and when Denuvo servers are shut down.īottom line is, at the end of the day, these DRM "Solutions" is a problem and an inconvenience and it only hampers legit users games that they paid for in the long run and, companies like Ubisoft doesn't really have an intention of removing DRM from their games even after it becomes obsolete in terms of its functionality. Even after Anno 2070 was cracked waaay back, Ubisoft didn't remove Tages DRM from their game and it is now that legit users of this game are suffering for it as they cannot access their legitimately purchased game. Tages DRM works similarly to Denuvo DRM where it binds a game copy to a specific hardware config but due to its technical difficulties / annoyance, it was defunct. Ubisoft is "looking into this issue" but as of right now, the only way to play this game is via pirated copy. What's more.this is a single player game. Legit buyers can't access their game due to this DRM. Just found out that this game called Anno 2070 from Ubisoft uses an older generation of DRM called Tages and because of some issues with this DRM, the game is essentially unplayable. ![]()
