/v/ - Video Games

I really doubt anyone not already convinced will be.

>>16291762

and yet, it is used

>>16291842

nope

watch the video

>YouTube embed

>stating things we already know

Come on.

>>16291731

You never needed anything like that to know that.

Having any sort of encrypted functions in your game code will add some CPU time to running that function it's inevitable even the most barebones of encryption / obfuscation will do that.

And with how extensive Denuvo is it's obvious that it would have a noticeable impact when you hit a function that has a DRM check in it especially if the dev is a dumbshit and doesn't limit said checks to non-performance critical parts.

>>16291842

Pretty sure DMCV and F1 2018 were leaked DRM free .exe from the QA testing branch on steam so they would match the latest version at the time.

>>16291833

When it comes to sales, nothing else matters.

>>16292382

>encrypting functions

The most autistic and pointless form of software security. I had to work with a database which had all its procedures encrypted once. You know what it did? Made it impossible for me to tell what code was deployed. That's it.

You already posted this video as its own thread, shill

denuvo works at scaring away non-pirates and some pirates. most people would rather pay than go through the hassle of pirating denuvo-protected games

>>16292432

>most people would rather pay than go through the hassle of pirating denuvo-protected games

What? Are you talking about people who've been copying unknown .exe files from "crack" folders since the turn of millenium or people who's friend's cousin downloaded mp3.exe once in general? Because I'm sure as hell the former would never buy a game with Denuvo.

>>16292432

>most people would rather pay than go through the hassle of pirating denuvo-protected games

At the begging probably due to there only being weird workarounds but "cracked" denuvo games are easy to download and install now.

>>16292432

most consumers literally don't give a shit about DRM. It's why Steam is so big.

>>16292555

Your perception is distorted nobody but idiots is going to admit piracy on any forum which bans piracy and will even self censor even mentioning it.

The thing is, who is this actually trying to convince?

>forever escalating DRM

>ever more obfuscation

>ever more complexity

>ever more intertwined with the game

>ever more intrusive to the computer

>ever more connected/profiling

<no performance impact though LOL

Anyone with a sliver of common sense already understood the problems of DRM and anyone who didnt understand, isnt worth convincing IMO.

>>16292622

I think it's case of blind loyalty to a game/company to the point where they believe the piracy lies. Until this point they've blindly defended the evidence videos pointing out that denuvo impacts performance with shit like "No noticeable difference". They're going to have a hard time defending this, but then again they're cum guzzling shills so I won't be surprised if they just ignore it.

>>16292622

Until you can convince a board of directors that not putting in DRM will mean the video games they are bankrolling make more money than what you'd save from those who would buy if they couldn't pirate, it will continue.

>>16292699

The board of directors of most companies are probably boomers who have never touched a computer in their life.

>>16292622

Any sort of DRM beyond basic shit like Steamworks is pointless. Downloading cracked .dlls is enough of a deterrent to stop people from just sharing the game amongst themselves on a USB stick and people who want to play online with their friends, want to support the developer or adhere to some moral code will just buy the game anyway, and people who just want to pirate it will pirate it once it's cracked anyway. No amount of news about russian hackers will stop me, have fun snooping through my VM.

>>16291731

Did we really need a video to show us what is easily observed with our own eyeballs?

>>16292788

see

>>16292685

> they've blindly defended the evidence videos pointing out that denuvo impacts performance with shit like "No noticeable difference". They're going to have a hard time defending this, but then again they're cum guzzling shills so I won't be surprised if they just ignore it.

when hard evidence is presented they will start to say

>we already knew that, no news, nothing new, stop talking about it

the real reason why this video exist is not to show YOU why it is bad

It was made to trigger the next stage for the blinded fanboy, projecting.

also, if this projecting gets strong enough in the mindset of normal fags it will draw a bad light on the games using it, which will force denoshit to do something.

>>16292581

Nah, people don't care about it. Extend your sample size to beyond imageboards

>>16292622

You underestimate of the fags that lurk the depths of steam, many of them shill hard and deny anything negative about denuvo because they're corporate cocksuckers that fight piracy at all costs

>>16292877

Is that kaokaiden or whatever guy still doing it for free?

>>16292898

They're all doing it for free, he probably is still doing i

>>16292622

Your opinion is retarded then, because the ignorance of the people you are talking about is exactly why this sort of DRM is widespread.

>>16291731

>Hitting 0 frames in DMCV with denuvo

Can't get any worse.

>>16291842

Maybe you should watch the video and see that's not the case retard

>>16292555

>It's why Steam is so big.

Steam is so big because it's deliberately so easy to crack the DRM on it, and beyond that, there's the neigh constant sales and shit like a built in chat client, forums, and other services.

Nobody downloads steam because of some bullshit You don't own nothing Goyim Forgery laws are out of control and we can declare something we sold you still belongs to us :^) clause in the EULA.

>>16291731

i don't have the pic, but there was a pic in which dmcv steam version was giving 74 fps and the cracked non denuvo leak was giving 90 fps. I am sure someone has it

This was proven years ago anyway

>>16291731

>tfw not retarded and don't have (((steam)))

Feels good man

>>16295015

hmmmmmm.

Of course it does, I mean it does additional computations, so it has to.

>Allowing some pajeet/chink/slav to remotely access your PC and "activate" a pirated game

wew

>>16292432

>most people would rather pay than go through the hassle of pirating denuvo-protected games

Yeah I imagine people are terrified of downloading an archive, extracting it, and playing it. It's the stuff that keeps me up at night.

>>16312930

Not just Denuvo,people are still generaly tech retarded/lazy. I am the pirate of my friends group and out of 10 pc's of their I accessed when they needed help Only my pc had its "dowloads" folder clean of old files or installers

If they cant even bother to take care of that then moving things from the crack folder would be too much work for them

Bump.

God that minimum fps is fucked.

Tried this game myself pirated ofc Fuck denuvo glad the only game I ever bought with it ran flawlessly (mad max 2014) maybe the newer builds are worse?
