Playstation and PC have distinct differences, and while Anti-Cheat and Anti Tamper on PC can be defended (despite serious drawbacks and performance flaws) having that technology on a closed loop platform like the PS5 makes absolutely no sense.

DRM is not popular to begin with but DRM and Anti Cheat that is both redundant and possibly invasive on a platform that does not even have a practical use for it? That’s not going to be a popular decision, and Denuvo is not the right candidate to make such a move.

  1. So its decided, this year ill get a new pc instead of continuing on the ps5. And ofc ill download cracked games instead of buying them, since the cracked versions run much smoother and dnt spy on my devices. Thanks Denuvo, you saved me a TON of money.

  2. Not going to lie I was going to skip your ad plug but then you did the one thing that I've never seen any other Youtuber do before, You kept it short and to the point. You Sr just earned my sub.

  3. Video games became too advanced to contend with corporate greed. Now that it earns more money, it can't be avoided. Think of GTA:SA. You want to goof off with boosted stats or cars or ammo, here's your cheat code, knock yourself out. Today cheat codes are basically a thing of the past. Now you get microtransactions to even have anything similar to that.
    If AC:Odyssey was released in about 2003-2005, double XP would have been a cheat code. Because they could make money off it these days, it isn't.

  4. In a word with buggy releases and where the first 2 to 8 months of ironing the bugs after release, the 2 days were the game is not cracked after release is just a drop in the ocean. Adding Salt to injury there are cases of cracked games that work better than the bought version.

  5. …but why is a DRM being installed directly onto the console? if devs want it that much why wouldn't it be built into the game, on a game by game basis?
    PC games with DRM are used only for the games they're bundled with
    (also **ck DRMs, the only people they hurt are the people that BUY the game)

  6. I seriously have no idea why developers or actually publishers like Denuvo so much, it rarely works on PC and the only thing it does is bring them bad press, because everyone hates it.

  7. It could be much more simple. Just plain corruption within Sony. Some Top Dude got paid off by Denuvo's tops to sign them on so Denuvo would have a huge contract. Can't imagine there is a good opportunity to grow in their anti-tamper business, you can't have more contracts than big releases each year. This way it gives them incredible opportunity to expand their business instantly. Who's winning in this deal the most? Denuvo, plain and simple.

  8. Hey Sony, make every copy of your games a NFT and charge for it on top of the 70-80 $/€ you ask for ! That's better for the job, that's even more stupider and that gives players a sense of pride and ownership !

  9. Why was your intro to the add so funny? x)
    Anyway, the only reason I can think of why Sony would agree to this is because they know/discovered something they are not sharing publicly.

  10. Ok from, my perspective, maybe in the style of the devil advocate.
    I stopped playing competitive online games on PS3 because of rampant cheating and never returned to play them on PS4. I don't know if the reason was homebrew that allowed a modified application or some side software. From my knowledge, COD still have issues with cheats on consoles. If you look from this perspective companies, may want to protect game opinion to stop players from leaving. With allows them to sell microtransactions.
    I think the same goes for single-player games where content is on "the disk" but locked behind software locks.
    Do I want a DeNovo? No, low-quality implementation has quite an impact on the system.

  11. What if it's not about hacking at all, but about pleasing the shareholders that don't know shit about games?
    Sony CEO: "Well we're going to include the most prominent state-of-the-art DRM in our new console, so you don't axe my ass next time we release a failure like TLoU2"
    Investors: "What is DRM?"
    Sony CEO: "It can possibly, maybe, save you some money from the pirates"
    Investors: "DO IT, good job Sony"

  12. Denuvo is an anti consumer software that only exists to scam gullible developers out of their money.

    Piracy isn't a big deal for anyone that has any kind of focus on providing a good customer experience and it's incredibly bad at stopping MP hackers.

  13. I always think of Alan Wake when I hear about stuff like this. Game was great but had so much product placement and licensed music that microsoft took it off steam and a lot of people were worried that it would get taken out of their accounts. Luckily that didn't happen, but knowing that it was a possibility, and one that was completely within the rights of valve/microsoft was scary.

  14. I do wonder why, this must cost Sony a good bit of money Denuvo isn't cheap. So I guess the problem is at least big enough to warrant the cost and lack of performance in their minds. Do agree it's a bit weird.. maybe one of the higher-ups of Sony bought some Denuvo stock which I expect will have gone up a good bit after this announcement?

  15. only console hacking i know and once learned a long time ago, was the internet connection hacking. Meaning you don't actually change anything in the game itself you just change the code everyone else receives from you.. any maybe that you receive from other people in multiplayer. Like increasing the perceived height of your car in Burnout Paradise so anyone that drives into you actually crashes. done that all in the ps3 days, so idk if that can even be done these days.. but id imagine so as your not changing the code in the console itself.

  16. And the sad thing is that you still see people defend this crap even though they are the ones who loose out on it, not even corporate people, but regular consumers. Even when it is clear that the pirates get the superior version and faced with overwhelming evidence. The best argument they come with is "You're just a filthy pirate". Even sadder when they know of the whole "licence" thing and still defend it.
    This crap is just snake oil meant for investors. A giant scam preying on paranoia.

    As for your speculation, it could very well be alongside an attack on the home-brew scene. We already know that Genshin Impact employs a pretty invasive anti cheat for a single player game for the sole reason to prevent tampering with it's gatcha mechanics.

  17. today people buy games to support the ones who made it
    or because the product was worth purchasing

    like when a game comes out akin to the binding of isaac or kenshi or a smaller project that always gets cracked, when i was on the high seas id make sure the game ran and if say the devs were putting content out or just active in their forums or it just went on a more reasonable sale(due to currency conversions) id buy the product because i wanted to support them. i wouldn't have if i never played it i just would keep watching videos here and there
    its why demos need to return. but aside

    in this climate currently it seems like they're doing all they can to secure a sale, not a worthwhile product
    and we let them do that shit since pre-orders became a thing. though i feel like that came into prevalence when harry potter got HUGE and it was actually a relativley safe bet you were getting your moneys worth, since an editor would have combed it a hundred times and control group was probably used to gauge its quality
    yknow, they were ready when they were ready, not release in jan be playable by june

  18. OOOOH that "non-intrisive" part of the statement makes my blood fucking boil!
    Denuvo anti-tamper has already fucked me twice before, preventing me from playing the games I paid for while I was on vacation, without internet access which prevented the garbage DRM from verifying that I was a legit owner of the game and blocked me until I was bacl from vacation. If I had pirated the games instead of legally buying them I would have been able to play them just fine.
    Denuvo is purely anti-consumer trash.

  19. Hey dude you should cover the Bethesda and Xbox future exclusivity, I find it really anti-consumer to take a game series that has existed and built hype since Skyrim came out in 2011 and then tell a whole group of people passionate about that game that they can’t play the sequel after already waiting ten years at this point, I get it I’m a salty Sony fanboy but it is upsetting because I think console exclusivity hurts everybody
