Gotta love DRM that makes paid versions of games worse than pirated stuff.

Fair point, but does Denuvo apply to games that run on underpowered PCs? I might be mistaken, but I thought Denuvo was only meant for the "AAA" titles that require top tier hardware anyway.

    What i you're right at or below the "minimum requirements" for an AAA game? Should those people just not get to play?

    Then you'd get a degraded experience anyway, I don't think the difference would be noticeable. Where it would be noticeable, would be with retro games on pretty old hardware.

    Either way, even if it were to slow a game by 50%, that would still not be the biggest issue with Denuvo.

    One percent from ~ 45avg fps, especially the low drops, feel worse when there's even more intermittent losses from DRM.

    It's harder to notice a few fps drop at 100+.
