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.”

    Running With Scissors is a “legendary” developer?

    Postal was a violent mess that didn’t age well.

    Postal 2 was a buggy mess that also didn’t age well.

    After that, it was just legitimately bad games on top of the humor not aging well. (They literally don’t even acknowledge Postal 3)

    Seriously, who the fuck would label them legendary? They’ve been a broken mess for over a decade.

          I’m honestly disappointed to see people disrespecting two absolute classics in such a way.

          I can understand not liking the first postal, but postal 2? I’m afraid there is no hope for you

            I piss on people who talk shit about Postal 2 and then I throw a cow head over their fence. If they dare to continue I get the cat …

    Crackers: We don’t do it for the piracy, we just like the challenge.

    Denuvo: Try this one then.

    Crackers: Too hard bro, at least give us a chance!

    I acknowledge that this isn’t going to be a popular opinion in a piracy sub, but the main reason people hate Denuvo is that it works.

    It’s basically killed the entire game hacking scene, because by the time they break it, nobody is interested in the game any more. There’s like one person left that can do it, and they’re more than a little bit odd.

    It may be “anti-consumer”, but you know what was worse? All the other shit they tried on PC. Always online bullshit. Single player games that you couldn’t save any more if your connection wobbled. Actual rootkits.

      People hate Denuvo because it requires a regular connection to the Internet and has a big impact on the performance of games.

      I’m not buying these games not because I can’t pirate games with Denuvo (I don’t really pirate games at all anymore) but because they tend to run like shit.
