AceQuorthon,

It’s simple. Stop buying crap products!

LufyCZ,

That’s the thing though - they deliberately made the product crappier after people already bought it.

Think this applies if Denuvo is included from the beginning, but it wasn’t here

stardust,

Lesson is to make steps being even more patient and play backlogs and opt for older titles that are cheaper. Doesn’t even have to be super old. Could be just within a year. Very few games these days that are an absolute much play the moment it drops. Haven’t actually come across any of that caliber past decade, but maybe I’m too patient.

LufyCZ,

I’ve heard that Baldur’s Gate 3 was a massively successful launchday title, though it’s not my cup of coffee.

There are still good games around, just unfortunately not the majority of them

ByGourou,

There were still a lot of bugs that they are still patching. But even on day 1 baldur’s gate 3 was amazing.

neshura,

Baldur’s Gate 3 also was in Early Access for a few years so people had plenty of independent experiences to base their opinion on. The release content was more, true, but there were a lot of known factors.

Yeah but it’s an assassin’s screed game it was crap before denuvo.

meatand2veg,

Only dummies buy games before they’re available to the public. I thought this has been known since Watch Dogs (another Ubisoft game lmao).

callouscomic,

So even if they had sold it on Steam, this was likely not going to work on Steam Deck? Doesn’t this denuvo kind of stuff cause issues?

jayandp,

Denuvo doesn’t prevent games working on Steam Deck, but depending on how it’s implemented it can cause other problems like preventing a game from launching if it hasn’t been able to connect online in a while, or weird performance issues. It varies from game to game.

potato,

Denuvo works perfectly fine on the Steam Deck/Linux. IDK why people keep repeating this.

callouscomic,

Good to know. I haven’t run into any issues, but I dunno if any games I’ve played had it. I had considered getting Mirage for Steam Deck, but I really don’t want to own it on ubisofts app.

meatand2veg,

This misconception with DRM making it unplayable on steam deck I think stems from 3rd party anti-cheat software flagging Linux players. Denuvo “works” fine on steam deck and Linux as a whole, same goes for anti-cheats. Developers always have the option to tune the anti-cheats to allow Linux players, but only some of them do.

bookmeat,

Hardly anyone is streaming it. It’s the same cringy dialogue with the same boring game as its predecessors. I haven’t seen anything in any of the streams that would change my mind.

WindowsEnjoyer,

That ahould be a DLC.

Ubisoft does the Ubisoft thing - nothing new under the sun.

Refund, refund, refund. The only single thing they will ever care about is the $.

    Apollo,

    Why, you going to fight them one by one, Jay and Silent Bob style?

    No clue, cause my instance has downvotes disabled and idgaf lol

    Probably a corporate bootlicker(s), why there are so many who feel like they need to defend the huge game companies I have no idea…

    redcalcium, (edited )

    If Denuvo’s claim that their DRM has no negative performance impact were true, then why Ubisoft pull this shenanigan (adding Denuvo DRM just hours before release)? Ubisoft must’ve know their game run better without Denuvo so they want the reviewers to play the drmless version.

    icedterminal,

    Everyone knows Denuvo’s statement isn’t true. There are hundreds of games with Denuvo that have improved performance after being cracked, compared to the legitimately owned version. This conversation pops up all the time. It’s quite funny when pirated games have a better experience. At least until Denuvo is removed to cut cost (it’s a subscription).

    Fjor,

    Ubisoft making themselves an even more loveable company…

    praise_idleness,

    That’s a brand new way to fuck users’ ass. Very impressed.

    CliveRosfield,

    Yeah I will never not dislike Ubisoft games on principle

    Offering a specific version of the product for reviewers to write about that buying customers won’t get? fry-im-shocked.gif

    Wouldn’t buy from there crap launcher anyway.

    pelerinli,

    Last I checked, you had to download and launch from Uplay even if you buy game from other stores. I haven’t buyed any of their games after they pull a stunt on Brotherhood anyway.

    Blxter,
    !deleted4407 avatar

    Yes very true Ubisoft games take much longer to launch than others. I believe because of this. And by longer I mean like an easy minute longer.

    DeathWearsANecktie,

    Man I uninstalled Steep from my PC yesterday. I had to download an update to their shitty launcher and then login just to remove a game from my PC. I also have ghost recon on Epic games which requires you to use the launcher to launch another launcher to launch the game.

    Buying the games is genuinely a worse experience than pirating them. Fuck Ubisoft but also EA and other publishers that do this bullshit.

    chili1553,

    We’re still playing Tower Climbing simulators?

    ezures,

    Which, the older, the modern, or the far ones?

    Netrunner,
    @Netrunner@programming.dev avatar

    Well I know what game I’m not buying. This should just fuel the pirate ships I’d think.

    neshura,

    On another note this will make for an easy comparison of Denuvo ridden game vs Denuvo removed. The Day 1 Patch bringing some Fixes and Performance gains would muddy the results a bit but I think it’s still a good idea to have a test like that. If the rumors/speculation about Denuvos performance impact are true I doubt even a Day 1 Patch would manage to balance out the performance difference.

    I… but… that… that isn’t how this works…

    You’re putting the cat outside after it already ate the canary.

    manapropos,

    It’s Ubisoft, who would be surprised? Pirates get a better experience than paying customers and it’s been that way for over a decade
