Denuvo and DRM punish the consumer, legendary PC developer says
www.pcgamesn.com
Postal developer Running With Scissors, creator of some of the most infamous shooters on PC, says the gaming industry deserves “better” than Denuvo and DRM.

Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future, fight for that.”

    It is bad for the consumer… but the alternative is instant cracks, as seen with a lot of games on r/Crackwatch that don’t have the DRM.

    Denuvo is the first software in a long time that has been able to successfully stop the supposedly inevitable march to cracking. It’s a miracle that more AAA devs don’t use it, since it works so well. (EMPRESS aside)

    You can hate me all you want for saying this, but the war against piracy, for the most part, has been won.
