I haven't moved anything, I have stuck to the same point the whole time. Kojima is in a position to provide a DRM free game, he chooses not to. I said solo developers can manage it, I never mentioned budget, that was a goal post you moved so you could better argue. Costing $100M to make and DRM-free are not mutually exclusive, they can co-exist and Kojima is in one one of the best positions to do it.

Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, DOOM Eternal, all AAA games which each cost around $100M or more. All have DRM-free releases.

How are you so unbelievably dense? Get that Kojima dick out of your mouth for a minute and think about what you are saying. You fanboys are crazy.

    My guy you said 1 man teams could self

    I asked you to provide an example of your claim within the AAA industry and you couldn't.

    Guess what, Baldur's Gate, Cyberpunk, and Doom Eternal were not one man teams. So still wanting on that proof.

    The only thing here dense is your understanding of the game industry. Try harder man.

    Also to clown on you more.

    Baldur's Gate and Cyberpunk are self published. Which is very ironic because I uhh said this earlier

    The only way he could circumvent requirements would be if he decided to self publish the title.

    Oh and as far as Doom goes.

    They didn't fully remove Denuvo until 2023

    Crazy man. So confidently incorrect.

    The goalpost you moved. I never said a one man team made a AAA game with $100M. I said an indie developer can make a DRM-free game, what's stopping a AAA dev (as shown with the AAA examples, clearly nothing other than choice).

    Baldur's Gate and Cyberpunk are self published. Which is very ironic because I uhh said this earlier The only way he could circumvent requirements would be if he decided to self publish the title.

    Yes, which as I said earlier:

    But he owns Kojima Productions, he chose which publisher to use and agreed to their terms.

    So, Kojima could have self-published. Those titles are not just 'magically' self-published, there is a choice made there.

    Oh and as far as Doom goes. They didn't fully remove Denuvo until 2023

    1/3 of the examples, yes. But they still did after 3 years, Death Stranding still hasn't after 6 years...

    I see you are going to resort to going around in circles now though in an attempt to defend your beloved, so I am going to move on, as you'll never admit defeat. Good luck out there! o7
