If DRM hurts performance or breaks a game, publishers should be required to provide a refund upon request. I understand I'm getting ahead of myself here, but news like this is frustrating considering how much the pc landscape has changed over the last 5-10 years.

 

[Maintenance]

According to that forum Fifa 14 took 46 days to be cracked.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

this is from the people that brought you securom, ffs i hated that piece of shit.

still, its impressive that both those games remain uncracked

googled, not lords of the fallen.

 

[Kurdel]

If it doesn't ask anything of me or hinder the game, I am fine with it.

 

[SerTapTap]

DRM is not cool, but people should enrage at pirates not the studios protecting their intellectual property.

Would you like your products to be steal freely?

Look at music. They have up this fight long ago. Music didn't die because of it either

 

[OneEyeTwoHead]

Do people pirate games that require steam?

Yeah. The steam.api is usually hack day zero.

 

[KingSnake]

FIFA 15 has this? Maybe the DRM is making the defenders so slow.

 

[JimJamJones]

Who did what to Rockstar to cause this?

.

 

[SparkTR]

I'm pretty sure Lords of the Fallen has been cracked and released on torrent sites.

 

[CountAntonius]

Denuvo is strong shit. Fifa15 is still not cracked.

This move will give GTA5 at lest month or two [or six] of no cracks.

Does this hamper the experience at all? I never played Fifa 15 and i'm wondering how well it performs. If it's completely invisible and doesn't cause a shitload of connection errors or bugs I don't really care.

 

[DieH@rd]

According to that forum Fifa 14 took 46 days to be cracked.

Yup. And Fifa15 is 6 weeks old, and there is still no crack for PC version.

 

[Huff]

Does this kind of stuff stop people from hacking/playing the game

 

[Syphon Filter]

And with that, NO BUY.

I knew Rockstar would be stubborn with some drm shit.

 

[Etnos]

Look at music. They have up this fight long ago. Music didn't die because of it either

There is plenty of articles of how stuff like Spotify has fucked up revenues for artist, If you guys think that AAA Game Development like Grand Theft Auto big budget single player experience can survive in a pirate friendly environment... you guys are delusional.

 

[Nethaniah]

R* like ubisoft not giving a shit about anyone on this platform, shame.

 

[CambriaRising]

Yeah. The steam.api is usually hack day zero.

Funny part is, I had to do this to my Steam version of Far Cry 3 when I bought it because uPlay wouldn't update and allow me to sign in. Kept that crack on the game for almost a year until uPlay decided to sort it's shit out.

There is plenty of articles of how stuff like Spotify has fucked up revenues for artist, If you guys think that AAA Game Development like Grand Theft Auto big budget single player experience can survive in a pirate friendly environment... you guys are delusional.

Oh no, how will GTAV possibly make a profit without this?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

So basically put it into their day1 patch?

Isn't stuff like this just a challenge to crack it lol? Piracy exists. Live with it. You can adjust many things, but DRM won't help one bit.

They still haven't cracked Fifa 15, so maybe they have come up with something that works. I think it'll eventually be cracked, but we'll see. Either way, if it causes performance issues for paying customers, it's too high a cost.

 

[Corpekata]

I'm pretty sure Lords of the Fallen has been cracked and released on torrent sites.

Just looking at Piratebay most of the comments are saying the cracked ones are fake and full of malware.

 

[leadbelly]

DRM is not cool, but people should enrage at pirates not the studios protecting their intellectual property.

Would you like your products to be steal freely?

No previous DRM has worked. That's the problem. It has only ever hindered legitimate buying customers.

They claim this new DRM is hack proof. We'll see!

 

[dreamfall]

Good God.

How much DRM is necessary?!

 

[Chobel]

Rockstar will use new DRM system in GTA 5 for PC. This system is Denuvo, which also used in FIFA 15 and Lords of the Fallen.
This System uses special code which changes every time so this DRM is still not hacked, and I think it wont be.
No more piracy on PC and only way you can play GTA 5 its Steam.

Just a quick check on the internet, but it seems like both FIFA 15 and Lords of the Fallen have been cracked.

Edit: After some search, it looks like Lords of the Fallen wasn't actually cracked.
Edit2: FIFA 15 also isn't cracked.

 

[KePoW]

I will not

Spoiler

happily

accept this whatsoever.

I see what you did there.

 

[The Cowboy]

Well, that settles it for me, i was in 2 minds already but its 100% off the cards now at release - I'll wait for the inevitable Steam sale, I've waited this long for the PC version already, i can easily wait another 6 months.

 

[Orayn]

I'm pretty sure Lords of the Fallen has been cracked and released on torrent sites.

It hasn't. I still have from my accounts on various torrent sites from my wild days in high school, and a casual search for Lords of the Fallen turned up nothing. One could also check the release listings for major cracking groups, but I'm pretty sure none of them have done it yet.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

It hasn't. I still have from my accounts on various torrent sites from my wild days in high school, and a casual search for Lords of the Fallen turned up nothing. One could confirm this more rigorously by checking with the major scenes that release cracks, since they have pages that list what they've released.

Exactly, and just because it's listed doesn't necessarily mean it even works.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

There is plenty of articles of how stuff like Spotify has fucked up revenues for artist, If you guys think that AAA Game Development like Grand Theft Auto big budget single player experience can survive in a pirate friendly environment... you guys are delusional.

You're presenting a false dichotomy here. The choice isn't between this DRM or no DRM at all.

 

[L4DANathan]

In a world...where DRM has DRM...

One man will rise to crush the shackles of his oppressive overlords and play....Minecraft.

...Wait, MS owns that now? Fuck it, I'm done.

 

[ChapaNDJ]

Of course, this will only affect paying customers while pirates play it freely without a problem or unwanted bloatware running around in the background. For fuck sakes.
As if i haven't had enough with Ubisoft pulling their games from Steam, now i get to deal with this shit.

 

[Syphon Filter]

If this hurts performance like some people have claimed it does in Lords of the Fallen, then they can fuck right off. I'll avoid every game with it.

Lords of fallen had extra drm on steam? how come the page does not mention?

 

[DieH@rd]

Just a quick check on the internet, but it seems like both FIFA 15 and Lords of the Fallen have been cracked.

Nope. Both are unplayable on PC by pirates. There are a lot of fake releases though.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Will it interfere with mods. This is the only thing that really matters to me.

 

[Rapstah]

Lords of fallen had extra drm on steam? how come the page does not mention?

I don't think Steam makes them tell you if there isn't a visible client or an activation limit.

 

[Phamit]

Denuvo is strong shit. Fifa15 is still not cracked.

This move will give GTA5 at lest month or two [or six] of no cracks.

Oh Fifa 15 using additional DRM? Played just like every other game from Origin.

So if the DRM is implemented the same way, it's not that bad and you won't notice this at all.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

If this hurts performance like some people have claimed it does in Lords of the Fallen, then they can fuck right off. I'll avoid every game with it.

Wait, it affects performance?

Fuck that, then. This is more than inconvenience and just a straight up insult.

 

[dreamfall]

Will it interfere with mods. This is the only thing that really matters to me.

The most important question! We need answers !

 

[Conkerkid11]

Isn't this the DRM that's linked to causing massive performance issues in PC games? Lords of the Fallen being the most recent title with these issues.

Umm... What the fuck Rockstar?

 

[Dmented]

Just a quick check on the internet, but it seems like both FIFA 15 and Lords of the Fallen have been cracked.

Just checked TPB and it going by the comments it has not been cracked at all. Seems people have uploaded copies that do not work.

 

[CambriaRising]

Will it interfere with mods. This is the only thing that really matters to me.

Of course it will, Rockstar hates mods. The Steam version of SA was patched to kill the mp mod.

 

[Complex Shadow]

yeaaaa... no dice. fuck this, i was actually excited to play the game again.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

DRM is not cool, but people should enrage at pirates not the studios protecting their intellectual property.

Would you like your products to be steal freely?

a) must resist tag quote
b) DRM doesn't affect pirates by its very nature. It only affects legitimate customers.
c) GTAV has a fucking dedicated online mode thats regularly updated and goes through their own servers. You know how there's no pirate copies of things like League Of Legends, or World Of Warcraft? Its because connecting to a master server for an online game lets you do server authentication on users - its the same as always on DRM, but less offensive as if you're playing an online game you're expected to be online anyway.

Spoiler

I'm aware of private MMO servers, but its mostly irrelevant to the point

 

[ymgve]

The only thing I care about is if it works offline. If it's just an one-time activation thing I don't care, but I don't want another round of always-online DRM.

 

[Rich!]

Awesome, this is great news. The pirates will get a better experience than paying customers yet again! Brilliant!

/sarcasm

 

[MrCunningham]

And here I thought that he Rockstar Social Club was more than enough DRM needed for this game.

 

[SparkTR]

It hasn't. I still have from my accounts on various torrent sites from my wild days in high school, and a casual search for Lords of the Fallen turned up nothing. One could also check the release listings for major cracking groups, but I'm pretty sure none of them have done it yet.

Well, in that case it's pretty impressive.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Does this hamper the experience at all? I never played Fifa 15 and i'm wondering how well it performs. If it's completely invisible and doesn't cause a shitload of connection errors or bugs I don't really care.

It's quite buggy, but it's fifa and ea so who knows what is at fault it's tradition for the game at this point

 

[Shahadan]

So that was the "PC version needs additional work" stuff !

 

[The Llama]

If it doesn't affect performance or make it more difficult to mod the game, I don't really care tbh.

 

[Nafai1123]

I bet it will still get pirated within the first week.

 

[LilJoka]

Of course it will, Rockstar hates mods. The Steam version of SA was patched to kill the mp mod.

Thats not good at all.

My first reaction was, well if it doesnt really cause me any problems playing then i dont care, but killing mods is a problem =(

I get the feeling groups will be trying extra hard to break this DRM with it being GTA and all.

 

[Dmented]

Of course it will, Rockstar hates mods. The Steam version of SA was patched to kill the mp mod.

Really? WTF! That's such bullshit.
