Everyone calling out Denuvo for being a laggy mess, rejoice! Denuvo is being hurt bad the bad PR enough to launch a full on propaganda war. One such weapon in their arsenal: Giving "trusted" outlets access to both the unDRM and the DRM copies of the game.

Now for anyone who knows game's journalism, you do not bite the hand that feeds you. Your income revolves around being one of the first to the punch when it comes to a review and the only way to be first is to ensure studios like you enough to give you early access copies.

Does anyone here think these outlets are going to say that Denuvo is slow? Not if they ever want that kind of access again! "Trusted" is right. "Trusted" to be in Denuvo's pocket.

I'm a liberterin, and it's prime time the tech industry got the hammer. We have no consumer protections and since most are sold globally, its a complete waste of time to boycott, ubisoft is still around. Prime time for some consumer protections and major regulation. For starters, after 5 years, complete source code with engine and editor(everything needed to build the game or the software, doesn't have to be a game, and modify it) should be released. gradiuty for lifetime artwork be screwed And drm or anything similiar should be completly outlawed along with software licenses. YOU BUY IT YOU OWN IT, WHICH MEANS YOU GOT SOURCE CODE ACCESS if they can't make a profit off that, then their product was garbage. Most games are sold as in an early alpha state, lets make them go bust
