Denuvo Unveils New Tech That Will Make It Easier for Devs to Track Down Leakers

Yes and no: they were bought by Bayer 5 years ago, so they don't exist under that name anymore, but I don't know how much of their worst bullshit they're still doing under the new name.

For example, I was unable to confirm or rule out whether they're still doing the suicide crops and food DRM bullshit as Bayer or not..

I found a troll! Nice.

I‘m saying the IP system is broken and more drm isnt the solution, shocker I know.

We need to break up giant companies (999 mil+) and we will break up ip trolls as well.

The titular arguments about game leaks: that would crush our sales as it shows the version of our product not on par with our quality standards and our vision. When we see how games from Ubi\EA\Beth\etc got released this raw and untested, this argument gets rekt. Digital releases and updates, forever-beta products, raw indies and many other things enabled AAA studios to do the same and get no repercussions, but they'd still bitch if their game is leaked earlier even if they ship undercooked product.

It's rational to assume if you play leaked pre-release, you have a deficient product on your own terms. Like Diablo 2 remaster that still has LAN play before this P2P solution was killed. It's on gamers to be that stupid to review-bomb games based on alpha, beta versions. It's fair if it's a contemporary comment, but not a final judgement with a youtube title GAMENAME FUCKING FLOPS - MY FIRST UGLY MOMENTS WITH THE GAMENAME. Clickbaity, unfair and tastes like piss.

You expand this conversation to games-as-a-service mode, that is a very different beast. I like seasons and regular updates to a polished games. I dislike games who defacto employed first players as beta-testers who paid money for that.

And I like leaks, not for me being a pirate, but for seeing what's under the hood and how things changed for my favorite titles like Stalker, the game that has a very weird development cycle and had many traces of feautures devs either couldn't realise or didn't have time to do right.
