That's cool, but some people prefer to buy their games. 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.

    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.

    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.

    You can do all that pirated too, no scavenging needed

    "Show support" sounds like you only care about showing the game off to others on your steam profile. you can pirate and still buy merch if have the overwhelming need to not feel morally bad. the devs got paid, denuvo publishers don't deserve anything.

    Or, you can buy products. 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.
