I don't care what he says, I will never buy a game with Denuvo.
Same for me. Denvo killed me enjoyment of monster hunter world. Locked me out of the game when I tried playing it after a long break from the game. Being told I have to wait 24 hours before attempting to play a game I paid for was a quick way to get me to not want to buy any denuvo game.
It's really a shame, because I was super excited for MH:Wilds, but the confirmation that it will include Denuvo killed my enthusiasm completely.
At least Capcom eventually removes denuvo from their games. I'll probably wait until that happens to play Wilds.
Yeah, and at that point I'll also just wait for a 50% off sale, whereas I would otherwise have been a day 1 purchase.
I feel like this happens a lot, honestly - there'll be a game I'm really excited for, and either it's got some shitty DRM, or it's a timed Epic exclusive, or whatever else, and then a few months later when I could be playing it, I've mentally moved on to other things and I end up just buying it much later on deep sale if at all.
There's a lot of games coming out all the time; if I get past that initial hype period around launch without buying a thing, it's 50% or more off, or I won't buy it at all.
Doing the same here for Dragon's Dogma 2.
That is ridiculous. I love Monster Hunter, but if that happened to me I would instantly refund the game.
That's ridiculous, I really hope developers avoid it as the plague more and more.
That's easy, I never buy games at launch or in the first few years after release!
If it were just bad PR, publishers wouldn't be removing it from their games left and right. It's a flawed security system.
