Legendary PC developer says Denuvo is “a punishment to the consumer” in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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.
