      Unfortunately my hardware is too old to play games that are like that.

      But I’ve noticed the same with mobile games. My policy is: if that single player game doesn’t start without internet access it gets deleted.

      AC Origins player here, made the switch to pirate version cause it’s Denuvoless and works fully offline, without CPU spikes/frame drops. RAM usage also decreased a little.

    Man, I wish. The problem nowadays is that denuvo is actually effective - many titles that are rather popular but have denuvo DRM haven’t been cracked for years at this point, so the only practical choice is to wait for years until those game companies stop their contract subscriptions and DRM gets removed.

    DRM just slows down how many people pirate stuff by making it non-trivial. If piracy was extremely simple and completely without risk everyone would be doing it, which in turn would start to cause harmful effects that they justify all anti-piracy stuff. I dont think corporations see it that way though, they are likely just bunch of idiots that want to squeeze even more from us.

    Not defending drms or generally any anti-piracy stuff, but humanity might not be quite ready for 100% free information. Hopefully it will eventually happen though. All of you are fighting for our freedom by not giving up on this.

      DRM employed by streaming services has never made it less trivial to download new movies and shows. I can still get all the shows and movies I want just minutes after they release on streaming. DRM just hurts paying customers.

    Streaming Services: “SCREEEEE!! HOW DARE ANYONE ILLEGALY STREAM OUR SHOWS, OUR SPORTING EVENTS AND OUR MOVIES!!”

    Also Streaming Services: “Dear Customers, we’re writing to let you know that your subscription service is going to be increased within next month. Because ha ha fuck you.”
