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.”
Death to the concept of intellectual property and all but I've never actually felt Denuvo making problems for me when I played a game using it, you're right it seems to be working as advertised.
I'm still hoping someone to crack it in a more reliable and fast manner, fuck large gamedev companies and their profit margins.
I've definitely played games that used it, and I wouldn't even have known without the handful of negative steam reviews shouting about it.
