    Also punishes pirates because the only person in the world who can crack Denuvo is a completely unhinged psycho asshole

      Doesn’t really affect the pirates, they can just ignore what she says and use her cracks to enjoy the game or wait until they remove Denuvo I guess.

        Yeah but it also means they have to wait for her to do her thing before they can get access to the game.

              I’ve come to prefer waiting. When a new game comes out, what I tend to see from the scene is the initial release, then a few updates/patches, a lull where updates/patches are missed (unless it’s pretty popular), and eventually a rerelease with the now final updated version.

              Waiting for the last means no figuring out why cracks don’t work, wrestling with weird performance issues, etc.

                Oh for sure, patient gaming all the way. But I was more just pointing out that Denuvo does make things unpleasant for pirates too.
