Shadow of War's Denuvo Cracked in One Day

I actually don't understand the rationale behind buying games off 3rd party sites like GMG or G2A instead of buying them through steam... You basically lock yourself out of all possible refund routes by using a 3rd party, and the prices are not that much cheaper either.

I haven't bought a single game (apart from physical games that just happen to be able to be added into steam library) for steam outside of steam or Valve boxes.

I've refunded exactly one game on Steam. I've regretted not being able to refund a grand total of one game. That is out of 567 Steam games.

Nah, more like People can enjoy an extended demo that doesn’t only play the best highlights of their game.

I haven’t dl’d a game in a long time, but with most games not releasing demos, or the ability to preview a shit game, I do not find what they are doing wrong if... They buy a game that they enjoyed (to support) and delete the game after an hour of play time for ones they didn’t.

For me, I loved Shadow of Mordor, but I am highly against loot crates and don’t see myself buying this game till it changes its policy or it’s $4.99.

I generally do not research about games from my favorite series/developers, that way I am more wow’d by a game. But Diablo 3 online only/RMAH.... Yeah I played it for a few, had down time when I got off of work and never played it again. Will wait for reviews on D4 if it even comes at all.

I was a huge fan of Titan Quest. I remember when the studio went under they put the blame solely on the pirates publicly. They could tell how many pirates there were because of the online multiplayer component. It was something like 85% of the multiplayer player base had pirated the game. They shuttered their doors due to low sales, but meanwhile had a huge player base. Ultimately, it's the players loss because it was a top shelf game and a top shelf studio. I would have like to see what else they did in the future

I thought one or some of the developers originally worked on Titan Quest, but I cannot find confirmation of that now.

haven't tried or heard of that one - I'll pick it up and give it a try!
I'm a huge fan of Path of Exile --- IMO - that's the best ARPG I've played to date. With Titan Quest or Diablo II tied for second.
D3 didn't keep my attention more than a couple character play throughs at launch. The skill tree was too static, the weapons and uniques too similar, at launch it seemed VERY generic. I've heard it got better, but I've not revisited. The same issues I had with D3 were present with Torchlight. Just generic. Played like a Dungeon Siege of old or something - sorta meh. Path of Exile, IMO, is on a WHOLE different level than the other Action RPGs I've tried. If you haven't heard of it - check it out -- it's free.

The amount of variance in choices and builds is nearly limitless. I've played the game more on than off for about 3 years and still not tired of it.

Been a couple of years since I played PoE. I should try it again since it's changed a lot since I last played.

I did not realize that Grim Dawn is on sale on Steam today for $7.49. DEFINITELY pick this up at that price. A new expansion was also just released yesterday (I had no clue until just now) as well.


Sorry for OT posting in this thread. I will stop now.

Don't tell me what to do! Seriously though, what's it matter to you? It doesn't hurt sales, plenty has shown this and for someone as smart as you to ignore these facts is to ignore science. You don't believe in a flat Earth and that dinosaurs were invented by Satan, do you? Why? Because science and studies? Exactly.

Also, I'm tired of all the BS that's pulled on PC these days so if I want to wait for the game to go on sale and/or try before I buy without having to resort to RULE BREAKING ACCOUNT BANNING TACTICS like using Steam Refunds as my personal PC RedBox then I WILL.

Just because you think people shouldn't do what you think is wrong doesn't mean that you're right...I buy a TON of games...Hell I got my Rift in March and already have over 45+ games for it alone, all legal.

So yeah, if I want to download a game before plunking down money I will. Whether that entails me deleting it after a hour or so because I don't like it (how is this different from Steam Refunds?) or loving it and buying it or waiting for it to go on sale before I do...what exactly is wrong with any of that? Like, for real.

What's also wrong with downloading a game in protest against the developers and publishers actions? Since when are we giving these assholes passes on trying to do slimey shitty stuff to it's consumer base? Plus, at that point the publisher has either already lost the sale so the pirating doesn't even matter financially OR that person in protest will actually like the game, see there wasn't really any issues, and WILL BUY IT! Remember, pirates are the most purchase happy people.

Either way, the problem here isn't that people are "college students" and just can't simply afford it...it's about principles, man.

There is no such thing as pirating in protest. Protesting requires doing something to communicate your point. Pirating does not do that. The ONLY message it sends to publishers is that the pirate is an asshole that would rather steal their game then pay for it. Your protest is as worthless as signing some dumbass online petition. You will NEVER convince a studio of something by pirating their game. It is a terrible excuse that only serves to make you feel better about your actions and serves no other purpose at all.

You know what's funny? I hate this. I went into Path of Exile completely overwhelmed and didn't like how much effort it took me to figure out a good build. I love some complexity, hell I have played MMO's like Anarchy Online which had a completely point based skill system. Even SWG had a decent amount of class customization with the different skill trees. But this web of mess is just awful to look at and is a bad design choice in my opinion.

Pirating as a form of protest is what gets us things like loot crates. In their eyes they're losing sales so they want to make up the lost revenue by exploiting their paying customers. The better option is to not buy or play the game at all and write a letter to the developer explaining why.

DRM is used solely to protect sales during the release window, and many will remove it so the game will continue working well into the future. Video game preservation for history is impossible with DRM and I'm glad to see developers noticing this as an issue.

You're still justifying to make yourself feel better. No, a publisher like EA, Ubi, WB, etc will NEVER see pirating as a protest to their actions. These companies have made it very clear what they think of pirates in the past. To them pirates only pirate to steal their work. They see no other reason behind it and give it no further thought. There is only one way to get a publisher's attention and protest: Vote with your wallet. Don't buy the game, don't play the game, but definitely talk about why on forums. The moment you mention pirating everything you want to say goes out the window and it renders your points, no matter how valid, worthless. As stupid as it is publishers see each pirated copy as a lost sale.

Online petitions don't work, at least when it comes to video games.

How am I wrong again? Removing DRM is a great marketing tactic. People will praise studios for removing it. Plus, DRM is not and has never been about piracy. DRM is about controlling access and appeasing share-holders.

You get very, irrationally, angry when someone confronts you about piracy. I made no rash judgement, had no anger at all involved in my post. I was direct with my statements and called it how I saw it. If you can't handle that without getting extremely defensive then perhaps I did strike a nerve.

Pirating as a form of protest isn't what gets us anything other than certain publishers and developers realizing how useless DRM is. Greed is what gets us things like loot boxes, pre-release game DLC, microtransactions, etc. Publishers not listening to their customers gets us these things. The gaming industry is larger than it's EVER been so piracy and loss of sales is hardly the problem here as has been proven by games like The Witcher 3. Obviously, man.

Has this actually proven to do this though? Pirates gonna pirate...you think them having to wait is going to change sales? Again, DRM being used for something it isn't and publishers seemingly being oblivious to this.

You're looking at it through your own lens. You may believe that pirating will send that message, but what does the current trend in PC gaming show you? Witcher 3 and CD Projekt RED as a whole is an outlier in the industry.

Yep. The fact pirates always point to Witcher 3 - and can only point to that one title - is the exception that proves the rule.

But it is hilarious watching pirates twist themselves into mental knots trying to come up with new reasons to steal games. "it deserves to be pirated cuz Lewtcrates!", "It deserves to be pirated cuz I don't like the boxcover!". Always something. Always lame.

Just admit you pirate a game because it costs nothing. It's pathetic to snivel with endless rationalizations that it's for any bullshit altruistic reasons or silent protests or "sticking it to the Man" invented in your head.

Incoming non-senses...

There was a time where uploading/downloading songs are said define what is now known to be pirating, and the entire music industry claims that the world's economy is damaged because of it. Eventually, artists found that uploading their own songs, acts, even opinions for people to see online is profitable, and bam, youtubers. What happens to the music industry? They want to make their own channels for their products to maximize profit (products ain't transferable between channels). If it is up to them, we will have to buy a album every single time we want to play a song, and sharing it with another person will cost double.

How much is a song now? It is free if you want to play on Youtube (ad or adblock), 1-2 dollars on iTune (my guess). Do you really think music industry foresee this? I will say those who suggest this 20 years ago will be thrown out of the window immediately, but here we are today.

What about games, 20 years ago, play for free? Are you high? How can it be profitable? Today, eSports with prize money in millions on a game that is free to play, DOTA2. Did I mentioned that eSport does not exist 20 years ago? Most mobile games are f2p, and they are making serious money. Why? Because the decision went back to consumers' hand. Not everyone pays, but those who are willing to pay will make you very very rich as long as your work deserves it.

So what am I saying? Pirates are a label made by those so called industries and piracy laws are build around these industries to support this term and DRM is a way for industries to pirate my personal information, after I have purchased their games, so it can be sold or hacked. It is okay if you want to 'suck it up', but hey, I don't want to be forced to pay every time I pass by a machine playing music or movies on the way to work. To me, pirates are our defense against games that forces you to enter personal information just so that they can be hacked in the future and games that are half broken and half missing.

Digitizing is the new cookie cutter, all in the name of cost saving, which is not our fault if you got hacked and/or copied. As a consumer, we make our choices. Downloading unauthenticated stuffs means risk of being compromised, spied and/or hacked. That is it. Pirates? What pirates? Put that made up word back in where it came from.

The term pirate has been around for hundreds of years and it was used for media "theft" long before people were downloading music. It predates the modern internet. People that copied VHS tapes and gave them to friends or sold them were pirates, same with people that did the same for cassettes. Back in those days you could argue that it was actual theft versus the more dubious accuracy of the term in the digital age.

According to Wikipedia, the word `Pirate` refers those who commits warlike acts at sea without the authorization of any nation.
Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_(disambiguation)

As to Piracy, also according to Wikipedia: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy)
Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence by ship or boat-borne attackers upon another ship or a coastal area, typically with the goal of stealing cargo and other valuable items or properties.
Click to expand...

Where is the ship? where is the sea? and where is the violence? `The Pirate Bay` was made big and serves as a symbol of digitized media being downloaded from unauthenticated source. Trust me, those industries love TPB as without them, there will not be a word to describe the act to download digitized media being downloaded from unauthenticated source, `Piracy`.

The term `Pirate` were used shortly before the existence of `The Pirate Bay`. Before the term `Pirate` the internet is what we now known as `The Pirate Bay` as nothing was authenticated. People can purchase cocacola.com and sale underwears on it, and all colacoca can do is to beg them to sell the domain name. I swear that it was not this long ago where we fear that our internet will be taken from us, and now censorship in the name of piracy. Yes, it works out, but in whose favor? You? Me?

Speaking of authenticated, DRM is authenticated, how are those data breaches working for you? How are all these industries that uses DRM so your information can be stolen or sold without your consensus working out for you? Who are the pirates? In-game micro transactions and ads on a game that I brought, holy sh!ti

I say the more correct word to describe those who shares digitized media as `Robin Hood`, and the ones who downloads them are the `poor ones`. Ring a different bell does it?

I am sorry if I offended anyone in advance, I am just so mad.

Don't make assumptions. Just because I defend the act of Robin Hood doesn't mean I benefit from it. In fact, what I said here doesn't benefit me. I simply state what is in my mind.

You should know that those dictionary updates itself as new words get created, i.e. selfie, or new meaning to old words, i.e. pirate/piracy. You probably can find when the word 'pirate' was first used here in this forum. To me, it was not that long ago.
 
Serves them right for attempting to bring the absolute worst part of free to play mobile games to a single player AAA title.

Won't play the game anyways, but hopefully it will hurt them financially and convince other developers not to do the same.

Don't make assumptions. Just because I defend the act of Robin Hood doesn't mean I benefit from it. In fact, what I said here doesn't benefit me. I simply state what is in my mind.

You should know that those dictionary updates itself as new words get created, i.e. selfie, or new meaning to old words, i.e. pirate/piracy. You probably can find when the word 'pirate' was first used here in this forum. To me, it was not that long ago.

Words change over time. Meanings and uses evolve, sometimes in rapid succession. Many of the words we use now days either didn't exist or meant vastly different things in the past. Every word and every use for it is "made up". All forms of communication are made by someone, they don't just appear out of thin air.
