Everyone calling out Denuvo for being a laggy mess, rejoice! Denuvo is being hurt bad the bad PR enough to launch a full on propaganda war. One such weapon in their arsenal: Giving “trusted” outlets access to both the unDRM and the DRM copies of the game.
Now for anyone who knows game’s journalism, you do not bite the hand that feeds you. Your income revolves around being one of the first to the punch when it comes to a review and the only way to be first is to ensure studios like you enough to give you early access copies.
Does anyone here think these outlets are going to say that Denuvo is slow? Not if they ever want that kind of access again! “Trusted” is right. “Trusted” to be in Denuvo’s pocket.
Plenty of games to play that don’t have Denuvo.
Sometimes the correct answer isn’t just vote with your wallet, but to vote for the policies/people who will fix the shitty system.
That being said, yes protest with your wallet if nothing else, but it won’t change anything usually, unfortunately.
