Space Marine 2 rejects Denuvo and DRM with a concise and simple "no"
Saber Interactive confirms that Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 will not include Denuvo or any other anti-piracy DRM when it launches.
Oh man, I was going to wishlist it and wait but now I'll have to buy it on launch week.
EDIT: Sabre Interactive understands that the Emperor's light shields the faithful, making dark machine rites like Denuvo unnecessary. Such heretical rites only agitate the machine spirits, causing discordant whispers that play into the hands of the enemies of Man. The Omnissiah smiles upon this decision.
Better wait a bit, until the inofficial beta is over, Denuvo or not.
I would hesitate to call our foes "Intelligences," but they are most certainly Abominable, brother.
This seems really promising. Unfortunately, I expect they'll still use Steam DRM, but everything I've heard so far is immensely promising so who know, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll skip even that.
Steam DRM is nothing like stuff people should be aware of. Ask any modder for confirmation.
Modder here. Denuvo has absolutely no effect on modding. Steam DRM checks the integrity of the executable and also crashes on breakpoints. That said, it's easy to remove with Steamless. Memory hacks work fine.
Edit: However, Space Marine 2 is going to use EAC, which is a kernel-level anti-cheat which prevents any modding short of utilizing or creating private hacks that may involve rogue system drivers.
Of course. Doesn't mean its not nice to be able to avoid it though. Personally, it will have no real impact on my purchasing decision, but the less DRM, the better.
Another concise and simple answer to Denuvo and DRM is "exterminatus".
Games are comming back
They don't need Denuvo protection because the Emperor protects.
If I had any expendable income right now, I'd preorder for that stance alone.
Just in case they run out of digital copies
It's more convenient for them to know in advance how many copies to not print
They are going to use EAC though, which is arguably an even worse inclusion than Denuvo, even if it's not a DRM
Since they have competitive online multiplayer an anti-cheat is needed, otherwise the MP turns into a hellhole of cheaters. As much as I wish that this wasn't the case.
Yes, but there is no need to go for a ring0 anticheat
...why the overspecific denial? Will it be involved at a later date?
It’s just an easy marketing dunk especially when denovo news was trending a bit this week
That sounds like something I can see them do. Engage the haters (me, when talking about denuvo) with the bright minded people that weren't tricked often enough, for more publicity.
