This is pretty ridiculous
Wow, combined with the "here's content you can only play if you bought a last gen version" R* really don't want me buying their fucking game at anything other than Steam Sale pickup pricing.
Well, in that case it's pretty impressive.
Yeah, Lords of the Fallen has lasted a week and a half now, FIFA 15 since the last week of September. That said, part of it might be lack of motivation since LotF is somewhat niche and FIFA's main audience is on consoles.
GTAV has its fair share of cheaters, so they need something to help protect people online. Too bad it couldn't have just been Steam.
If I'm paying for your product I'm not dealing with bullshit DRM.
Denuvo = No Sale
IF the DRM is transparent and doesn't cause any issues for me as a paying customer, and it's not intrusive in any way.
I don't give a crap. Hell, good on them. Anything to stop pirates that doesn't affect my time with the game is fine by me.
Wait, it affects performance?
Fuck that, then. This is more than inconvenience and just a straight up insult.

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?
"Denuvo is the new company formed from a management buyout of the Sony DADC DigitalWorks team, the team that developed best-of-breed copy protection systems like SecuROM for games and Screen Pass for movies"
No fucking thanks
I can totally understand the need of protecting your investment, I just hope performance will not suffer too much from this DRM.
Oh the humanity of missing out on a few cosmetic items and a little bit of money. Hopefully 60fps will make up for it.

I doubt that. I guarantee they're doing all they can on these new forms of DRM. It's probably fun to them to see if they can crack something they're not supposed to.
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.
Denuvo does jackshit to prevent cheaters. Denuvo has no anti-cheat system at all.
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?
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.
As someone who hacks fifa to get cool red hair and afros online, this is true
Completely agree with you. However, I have no idea if this is actually a good or bad solution. I don't even know how the Steamworks DRM solution works, but I like it since it doesn't seem to effect me playing a game, it's performance or using it offline.
IF this solution can offer the same issue free use and stability, I won't care. However, it is rare that a DRM solution has been actually good news for the paying customer, so I am sceptical
It's not as if it's a second log in or anything like that as far as I know, it isn't with fifa at least. So you won't have to deal with it and it will be completely invisible to you.

I hope so too, and i hope rockstar is ready for all the complains because as soon there is a perf/stability problem this thing will be blamed immediately.I can totally understand the need of protecting your investment, I just hope performance will not suffer too much from this DRM.
there's 2 titles that use denuvo, let's not call it uncrackable, there will obviously be more interest for gta v to be cracked than lords of the fallen or fifaDRM stopping pirates from downloading the game doesn't affect pirates???
And your answer is that instead of going for an unobtrusive, unbroken DRM scheme they should instead make it always online??
WTF
I... wasn't planning to?cool. You shouldn't be pirating anyways.
Every piece of DRM software has fucked with my operating systems in some way, every damn one of them, so I ain't taking no chances anymore with that crap. DRM is nothing but a hassle that rewards pirates for pirating because they get to crack the protection and not deal with it.
Anti-piracy is a waste of time and money and only hinders paying customers. Offering more value, better experiences and more convenience is the better way to go. Steam, Netflix and the likes are getting rid of piracy way faster than any kind of DRM ever has.
