    There’s a lot of argument online about the actual extent of the performance cut (Denuvo’s)

    All I know about that is a while back I had tried buying Far Cry 6 when it had Denuvo, and it wouldn’t even run on my older pc so I got a refund. Then later I tried a denuvo-less version, it ran like a charm.

    Makes me wonder how much money companies actually lose overall by stuffing that crap in everything in their efforts to make an extra couple dollars off us.

      I dont care what the evidence is. If theres a layer of encryption between me and the game, theres gonna be worse performance. I dont care if its 1% or 10% worse, but it is worse and that pisses me off.

      I had to use a crack with an original dead rising copy, because the DRM was not updated for the latest windows, and it just crashed the game

    The person(s) in question are likely not even in the US given their response.
