Now remove denuvo and I'm going to buy it
This is a fantasy. Hell freezes before DRM gets removed from AAA games not on GOG.
Doesn't DRM often get removed after a game wanes in popularity as it's no longer worth the price to keep up the Denuvo license?
Yeah thats why they sometimes move to GOG. You cant have DRM on GOG games.
But a game doesn't have to be on GOG to not have DRM.
It’s a guarantee that GOG games dont have DRM. Its not an all for one spot just the biggest consistency.
So not exactly a hell freezing over situation, more of a blue moon?
These days companies have started removing them after a year, since denuvo went to subscription route over a one time fee.
Most games I've wanted that launch with Denovu end up removing the DRM 6 months to a year after launch.
It still infects the vast majority of Sega and Ubisoft titles, despite their age.
Idk about Sega, but yeah. Ubisoft sucks with this. But they suck for a lot of other things, too. 🤷🏻♂️
Denuvo specifically costs money as it's some kind of subscription so from what I understand most games will drop denuvo one day or another the moment it costs more than the cost of piracy, which is probably once the wave of initial sales has passed.
One can only dream! Hopefully the hell freezes so they remove Denuvo :(
That's weird. Is there any official announcement? My only fear is that people purchase the game and then get locked out of it for some reason.
Depends who unlocked it. Was it steam, Sony or devs?
Remember when helldivers did this then Sony made them re-implement the region lock, making people unable to play the game they bought?
Please if you live on the other side of the wall just wait for empress, if she even still alive, to do her thing or for denuvo to be removed.
