To either show support, to track their hours/achievements, or the biggest one is to easily receive updates without having to scavenge the web to find an update patch. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] papabobolious@feddit.nu 9 points 2 years ago Supporting devs is good, but supporting a denuvo game is also showing that you will tolerate such overbearing DRM permalink fedilink source parent [–] Mnemnosyne@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago People shouldn't show support for companies that are willing to use this shit. Also fuck updates. I hate that effect of the Internet on games, where they just keep updating, which also leads to increased laziness on release. I miss the days when you got a game and that was it, what you had was what you had, never to change again unless they release an expansion pack. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gk99@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago And without the context that these devs just added Denuvo to their game, you might have a point. They shouldn't be supported for fucking consumers, time can be tracked by adding as a non-Steam game, and by the point they remove Denuvo, the patches probably won't be rolling in anymore. Personally, I don't pirate, so this is where I'd buy grey market or used on console. They wanna be dicks, I'm gonna be a dick right back. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Angry_Zombie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago I think they're talking about the performance hit denuvo adds to a game permalink fedilink source parent [–] irmoz@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) You can do all that pirated too, no scavenging needed permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Polar@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) That’s cool, but some people prefer to buy their games.

If you don't like what they do, just don't buy them. I am not even defending Denuvo. I will not be buying this game. Pirating it also supports them, because if you talk about the game, show your friends, stream it, upload screenshots/videos, etc, you're potentially getting others, who refuse to pirate, to buy the game. If you don't like what the company is doing, don't play it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] irmoz@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago You can show support without buying the game.
