PAYDAY 3 will use Denuvo anti-piracy technology in its PC version - Lemmy.world

The official Steam page for Deep Silver and Starbreeze’s PAYDAY 3 game has been updated to show the use of this ever-controversial third-party DRM.

As usual, any announcement of Denuvo in a PC game is met with immediate ire, ostensibly from the gaming community. But you already knew that Denuvo doesn’t affect performance unless it’s configured to make an extreme amount of checks, and it definitely doesn’t ruin hard drives. You wouldn’t share reactionary misinformation would you?

Be honest. You just hate that pirating the game is going to be more difficult.

Be honest, you’re a denuvo/DRM shill.

We don’t already know it doesn’t impact performance, we don’t know what checks it will make, and we don’t know that denuvo ACTUALLY impacts sale numbers by convincing those mean old pirates to buy their game.

But we do know it improves sales, that’s why every game publisher that can afford it is using it. They have years of data to prove it. What do you have?

I’m pretty sure some random strangers on the internet know more about selling games than people who have actually been doing it for decades…

That’s what reviews are for. If the game runs poorly, don’t buy it. Whether the bad performance is caused by Denuvo is irrelevant to my purchasing decisions.

There have been good and bad implementations of Denuvo. It’s disingenuous to pretend all games go one way or the other when there are so many examples of both.

Calling people shills is really shitty behavior. All you’re doing is inciting conflict, not contributing to any rational discussion.
