Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

ah the game that had framegen from 15 to 30 fps in as part of its minimum recommended specs

That was my reaction too!

I don't understand the temptation of the studio to pay for Denuvo. Are they worried evil Linux users like me will cheat at some kind of tournament?

And I was probably going to buy this one, but not if it ships with Denuvo.

The idiot MBAs running companies think that piracy is lost sales and they probably get bamboozled buy a Denuvo salesman's pitch.

"Your game could get downloaded 1,000,000x on a piracy platform, at $60 a pop, that's $60M in lost revenue. Pay us $30M and we will prevent this - a bargain."

Reality, none of those pirates would have paid full price for your game, and it'll get cracked anyways - you just made it worse for paying customers and deterred anyone who doesn't want to voluntarily install a rootkit virus on their computer.

Such a good name.

Is this an actual hack or is this another hypervisor workaround like has been going around?

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 7 points 6 hours ago

It's the hypervisor bypass method, not a proper crack. As far as I'm aware, voices is the only person doing proper cracks.

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't DenuvOwO specifically a hypervisor bypass?

I don't know, I haven't been following because I don't trust that style of denuvo cracking just yet personally. Anyway, that's why I was asking.
