That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

I'd be surprised if there WASN'T reliable data that confirms a significant loss in sales if they launched without Denuvo.

I don't think that astroturfers claiming to be pirates who "gave in and bought the game because of the DRM" is what people have in mind when they say reliable data.

Sure I don't deny that those people actually exist but I do also know that there is an incentive to push that narrative because they are spending money or time (in the case of In-House DRM) on implementing these measures so they got to make it seem as worthwhile as possible (especially in the case of publicly traded companies with shareholders).
