There are already many games that are not playable because servers used for DRM were turned off. In this matter I support cracking such "play only online" DRMs, because when I pay for a game I want to play it even after a few years, and maybe even especially after a few years
> There are already many games that are not playable because servers used for DRM were turned off I'll need a source for that.

> one of the recent Assassins Creeds It seems you did not actually read what I wrote. I put anymore in caps for a reason. I never said any recent AC title or any newer Denuvo version suffers from any FPS issues. The loading of games (startup only I think, not level loading) is in fact still very much impacted, especially in the first run. So all what you wrote is pretty pointless. Denuvo in the past in fact slowed do…

I brought up AC specifically because people online have been saying that the cracked version is faster, which I know we have tested at Ubisoft alongside with engineers from Denuvo and found it not to be true.

Yes, I did read what you wrote, and you wrote is as a rebuttal or a debunking of my factual statement.
> If you say "well I didn't mean AC" then cool, but I had no possible way of knowing what you mean, or what your cut off point is, "anymore" is not a very definitive point in time.
So because I not specifically mention any title, you just make it about yourself and what you are to have worked on ... that is an incredible cheap and dishonest excuse. "Oh you not specific X enough so I just assume you mean Y." Silly.
> You can of course choose to not believe me, it's the internet after all.
See, and STILL you assume or are so desperate that I suddenly choose not to believe you after I told you never I was obviously talking about old versions that were proven to have an FPS impact. Childish.
If I wanted to argue against that I would mock you for working with en engineer from Denuvo on it, hardly and bias there ;)
End if the day face is Denovo still sucks ass, even if you can not measure any FPS loss anymore, dev remove it after cracks/leaks or even just time passed for a reason that is not just money, its insane bloated shitty VM layer that slows down the games' startup, bloats the games executables up to insane sizes. Legit consumers hate it and want it gone.
And I am aware that certain idiots on Reddit and YouTube post fake videos of more up-to-date titles claiming huge FPS loses, and they continue to claim even recent versions of Denovo eats FPS because they just want it to be true so bad, or they actually compare different versions for games where It's not about the removed D but about the updated game. I never made any indication that I am like that, in fact I made it very clear that I am not. If you actually read what I wrote, it makes your answer even worse. You are just desperate. Go on Reddit r/crackwatch or something like that you will find plenty of people you can fight with, they won't take you working with an Denuvo dev on figuring out supposed facts serious either ;)

Just off the top of my head, Ross Scott on youtube (AccursedFarms) has plenty of videos on the subject. A few of them are tucked away in reviews but he now has a dedicated "dead game news" series. These may not be games you'd want to play but the important message is that it's concerning that the biggest publishers (Ubisoft, EA etc.) can release stuff that will randomly die at some point in the future for no good rea…
You're talking about games that were online-only where the servers have been shutdown. This is not at all what the comment I'm responding to is about, which is games that rely on a DRM that connects to the internet to validate your installation, meaning that even full solo, fully offline games would stop working.
There's lots of games where even the single player campaign needs servers to use.

You've taken it waaaaaay too personally. No one is attacking you, your statement, it wasn't even meant to be a rebuttal of what you said, I literally just wanted to share a story from my experience.
>>Childish
Now that's uncalled for.
