Oh look, Denuvo playing the victim.

And it exemplifies rather well why I hate the word "toxic": bad reputation? Toxic! Criticism? Toxic!

Bullshitting like «it's in part because it "simply works" and would-be pirates are trying to make it unattractive to game publishers by disparaging it.»? Noooo that is not toxic because it aligns with the discourse that Denuvo wants to spread, right?

"I'm with the company for such a long time," said Ullmann. "The guys here are like my family, because a lot of the others here are also here for ages. It just hurts to see what's posted out there about us, even though it has been claimed wrong for hundreds of times."

"Insert personal story to make it look like you aren't criticising software; no, you're criticising a family. You monster~

The upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard will somewhat surprisingly not use Denuvo at all

There’s the tell. Publishers might start listening to their customers, who generate income, rather than their vendors’ sales personnel, who create expenses. He’s panicked over a potential existential crisis.

Fuck Denuvo. DRM does not benefit the gamer. Period. No amount of gaslighting will change that.

Have you tried not hurting game performance?

Denuvo has the reputation it has for a reason, and labeling their critics (most of the gaming community) as salty pirates is not going to help them any.

When it comes to performance claims, why on Earth would I believe the salespeople for Denuvo over the people forced to play with it? The former has every inventive to quash any and all claims of causing performance issues.

@BrikoX The only thing Denuvo can ever do is make the product worse. Plenty of games launch DRM-free, and that's what I want as a customer.

denuvo is hostile and toxic program

And just like that my opinion of the steam forums skyrocketed.

To be fair. The Steam forums are actually pretty bad in general and could do with better moderation.

Having said that, there is a reason why some corporations have the reputation that they have. Might want to fix the thing that is causing that reputation instead of blaming everyone else for your bad reputation. But that would be the harder thing to do that takes time and effort and no one likes to put effort in.

I haven't bought a Denuvo-protected game in about a decade, and that isn't going to change.

I'm with the company for such a long time," said Ullmann. "The guys here are like my family, because a lot of the others here are also here for ages. It just hurts to see what's posted out there about us, even though it has been claimed wrong for hundreds of times.

It hurts???
I understand he's being paid to gobble corporate dick, but at least try to mask it like most people do lmao

You couldn't pay me to embarrass myself like this

Fuck off, Denuvo.

Yes, the Steam forums are awful, but still. Fuck off. Nobody wants you here.

It's because we fucking hate you, Denuvo.

Very toxic, and very hostile if you do stupid, dumb corpo bullshit. Fuck this guy.

Sometimes some people need to get bullied

Fuck Denuvo. They just slithered their way into Undisputed with the 1.0 update and I’m stuck without a boxing game again.

If I read a forum where people are known to object to what I do, there’s a fair chance I’ll get my feelings hurt. That’s on me.

What's with all the recent articles whitewashing Denuvo?

Denuvo is the single most odious intersection of capitalism and leisure; and in a perfect world, everyone in that company's c-suite would've already been kicked into a tiger pit

The steam-forums are often toxic and hostile. But denuvo also is and every hate justified. It does absolutely nothing good for the honest consumer. Quite the contrary.

If anyone deserves the Steam forums' shit it's these cunts.

No amount of hostility will ever reach the levels they've earned with their malware shit.

You know, i prefer my cyberpunk dystopias to be ballsy enough to just say it with their chest. You'd never catch Lofwyr groveling like this.

I'd also very much prefer dragons, or at least technological implants, but whatever.

lol. lmao, even. cry more Denuvo.

Awhhh. Noooo. Not the big big corop's feelings. We're all sooooo sorrry. 🤡

Stop being shitty. Skill issue.
