Irdeto – the company that acquired Denuvo back in 2018 – has traditionally been quiet about any criticism thrown at its DRM software, but that's about to...
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.
Bro no politician cares about fucking denuvo. Not buying games with that crap is the only thing you can do. Besides cracking it yourself of course. That is bound to hurt the company.
Still sucks when the game you want has it and you have to try and find a inferior way to scratch the itch with a different game. As a paying customer for 100% of my library, you guys get the better edition. It may still have Denuvo on it, but at least you didn’t pay for it.
There are so many games out there and my waitlist has already grown so long that I feel no problem in completely ignoring any game that has Denuvo. Odds are it’d be so long before I got around to it that the hype would be gone anyway.

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.

Honestly true for most games but sometimes theres just that 1 game I want asap
All the games on my Steam account are legit but entirely from Humble Bundles. My high seas have more to do with music, TV and movies.
