I wonder how many refuse to buy games that feature denuvo. Avoid like the plague.

Considering that I generally shop in the "bargan bin" these days (IE: years after initial release) the at release DRM is not an issue.

The constant addition of "online" requirements for single player offline games is rather annoying to say the least. :(

It is nearly 2025 and we're still making the argument that a pirated game equals a lost sale?

I wonder if these same people consider watching cable TV at a Sports bar equals lost sales of cable TV to someones home.
