Now that the game has been released, 2K Games added the Denuvo anti-tamper tech to the Steam store page of NBA 2K25.

    People who still buy the annual sports game iterations probably don’t care. If shelling out full price for no material changes is fine, it’s not likely Denuvo will be the deal breaker.

      What’s the difference nowadays anyway? In the 2000s you’d at least see actual graphical improvements but surely that’s not really a factor anymore?

        Probably an updated roster, any relevant uniform changes, and multiplayer only works with the current year’s version.

          So really what could and should just be an annual update, they turn into a “new” game and resell it for full price. How/why people buy this shit is beyond me.

            More than that, since it’s just multiplayer that you’re upgrading

            Denuvo doesn’t really matter
