"Your game could get downloaded 1,000,000x on a piracy platform, at $60 a pop, that's $60M in lost revenue. Pay us $30M and we will prevent this - a bargain."
Reality, none of those pirates would have paid full price for your game, and it'll get cracked anyways - you just made it worse for paying customers and deterred anyone who doesn't want to voluntarily install a rootkit virus on their computer.

A LEGO game had Denuvo?

That was my reaction too!
I don't understand the temptation of the studio to pay for Denuvo. Are they worried evil Linux users like me will cheat at some kind of tournament?
And I was probably going to buy this one, but not if it ships with Denuvo.

The idiot MBAs running companies think that piracy is lost sales and they probably got bamboozled by a Denuvo salesman's pitch.

Is this an actual hack or is this another hypervisor workaround like has been going around?
iamthetot@piefed.ca · 15 pts · 94d
It's the hypervisor bypass method, not a proper crack. As far as I'm aware, voices is the only person doing proper cracks.

Isn't DenuvOwO specifically a hypervisor bypass?

I don't know, I haven't been following because I don't trust that style of denuvo cracking just yet personally. Anyway, that's why I was asking.

ah the game that had framegen from 15 to 30 fps in as part of its minimum recommended specs
Mistic@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 87d
Apparently, the performance in the game is miles better than what's in the spec requirements
But I agree. What the hell were they thinking with that 15 to 30 FG?
