Grifter attempting to explain his existence…
RPS: The study you mention showed that having Denuvo software improves revenues at launch, but also showed that a certain point after release - I think it was around three months - it evens out. Do you think publishers should have a policy of eventually removing Denuvo and making that clear to players in their marketing?
Andreas Ullmann: That’s the only point of the study where I’m not totally agreeing.
Well, who would have thunk!
The cracks, they don’t remove our protection. The cracks still have all our code in and all our code is executed. There is even more code on top of the cracked code - that is executing on top of our code, and causing even more stuff to be executed. So there is technically no way that the cracked version is faster than the uncracked version. That’s simply a technical fact.
Going by that logic, there’s simply no way that Denuvo does not hinder performance.
That’s also a lie. There is no way it would be impossible to remove the protection code (or parts of it) or make it not execute. That alone makes him a clown.
Not to mention that some of the cracks are incredibly lightweight in the first place so even disabling a small amount of their code would improve things. Removing the encryption mechanisms alone works wonders.
Sounds like a CEO who doesn’t have a damn clue how code works. His description sounds like he thinks every line of code takes the same amount of time to execute, as if
x = 1;takes as long as calling an encryption/decryption function.“Adding” code to bypass your encryption is obviously going to make things run way faster.
The only positive thing is that they are SUCH GREEDY FUCKS that companies often patch out the protection after release to stop paying them.
When enshitification hurta otiself in confusion lol, but I think it’s a good thing, people who don’t care buy the game at launch, and people that care buy the game 3 months later with better performance
Is this a business entity wearing the skin of a human, or a clown wearing the skin of a business?
Surely the former because at least clowns try to be funny and entertaining.
Makes me want to buy Denuvo games even less, but I’ve already learned my lesson. Shutout to the only worthwhile Steam curator: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/26095454-Denuvo-Games/
God, hard to read more than half of it, this guy’s a total idiot. He really thinks he sells a solution, fucking wake up off that dream. It was nice, you enjoyed it, now wake up, go do something else, or just take the money and retire, idk, idc.
Fuck DRM, what a shitty way of screwing up content.
What makes you think he’s an idiot as opposed to lying through his teeth?

Denuvo profits off game developers fears of their game not being well received by gamers for reasons such as performance issues, bugs, or at its foundation is just a mediocre game.
I like to believe that the narrative that piracy hurt sales is only true for medicore/bad games because the average pirate is broke and they are not going to buy your game just because of denuvo and those who can afford to buy will choose not to after getting to try it.
On the other hand good games will always be commerical successful with or without denuvo.
Unlikeable asshole entity tries even harder to get people to like them. Results are mixed
There he is.
Was looking for em
Just stoooooop FUCKING T A L K I N G
Arrogant cunt. Fuck you and your shitty “product”.
What a fuckin’ crock.
As a gamer, I know that gamers don’t actually know a fucking thing except how to play games.
Hello, fellow kids
