"Games protected by Denuvo require an online re-activation for every hardware change every 24 hours and Denuvo limits activations to four hardware upgrades per 24 hours."
Have I posted about this bullshit before? It seems to be somewhat familiar, but if I have posted about it before, I can't find it now. So, as such, I am posting about it now. It basically sounds like the same sort of horseshit that the X-Bone was originally planned to do (i.e. online check every 24 hours) before they got roasted to hell and back for it.
There are a few games on the list that I'd have liked to have played at some point, but guess I won't, now. At least, not until they get moved to this other list, but even then... :/ (EDIT 4) Strike-through, because neither of those lists exist on Wikipedia anymore. *weary sigh* (/EDIT 4)
(Yet another case where I wish I'd named the "asinine anti-singleplayer trend" tag as "asinine anti-offline trend" instead, but oh well, like I said before, I'm not changing it now, as it would break too much old shit.)
(EDIT) How timely. There are reports that this Denuvo malware is fucking over legitimate users because they don't have the apparently required hardware to support the malware. To restate, some people are being punished because their hardware isn't up-to-date enough to run the DRM on the game, let alone the game itself. (/EDIT)
(EDIT 2) And, as usual, same as with every other goddamn dumbshit thing the modern video game industry pukes out, there are tons of fanboys/apologists/reputation management drones underneath them with their open mouths facing upward to catch that puke and eat it. For example. (/EDIT 2)
(EDIT 3) Seriously, I thought I was over being enraged by the continually atrocious behavior of the modern video game industry, but I guess not. Fuck the modern video game industry. (/EDIT 3)
