I don’t believe that even without DRM the game would’ve been pirated that much… i mean people usually pirate games they actually want to play lmao.
But let’s see how long it takes the industry to realize that games like bg3 and palworlds, that don’t have any DRM, are still money making machines… hmmm
Never underestimate how much people want to see a trainwreck up close. Of course, pirating is free, I doubt many people want to pay money for a trainwreck, so not sure if Denuvo is really going to save them from losing actual sales
Seriously “#1 sold game on steam in 2024” ah yes, because that’s a good metric when it’s been only one month and the biggest titles have a tendency to drop in December
Also, doesn’t the game currently require an internet connection to play?
Maybe, but when people talk about “cracking” a video game, they mean removing the telemetry parts of the .exe that might phone home and tattle on you. So often a cracked version of a game will have most online features removed. If it’s a game with a single-player campaign, it might still be totally playable.
Not on an online only AAA game.
Otherwise I’d be playing some sort of Marvel Heroes Omega or Destiny offline.
Perhaps, but the devs have now said that offline single player mode is a feature coming “soon after launch”, which says to me that perhaps it’s more coupled to a server than just a bit of telemetry, or they’d be far more reactive to the public response about the online requirement. Not to say that I know for sure; it’s just a gut feeling.
Yeah we’ll only know for sure after it comes out, and after we see what the pirates are able to do. Pirating online-only games is also possible, it’s just more difficult so it’s less common. Maybe the pirates will wait until the single player mode launches.
This seems like EXACTLY the type of game I would pirate, if I was still a teenager pirating games. Something without online play (or with online play that I don’t care about) that looks kinda dumb but maybe it could be funny, and I don’t feel like it’s worth full price. So I would just pirate it, play it halfway through, get bored, and delete it.
I’m too old for that shit now, I don’t want viruses on my PC because I store things on there that are actually IMPORTANT, instead of just porn and video games. But back then, I’d risk a virus for this mediocre-looking Suicide Squad game.
Understandable. But viruses arent that common from what I hear. Especially if you know your sources.
People Re coming back to pirating since all media becomes fractured, more expensive and worse.
Oh, pirating movies/TV/music is a totally different story, the risk of a virus is near zero if you’re careful, because you’re not running random .exe’s. I said that I was done pirating video games, not that I was done pirating completely. 😄
Oh! Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense I guess. Will keep that in mind.
We’re now at the “I dunno how much more worse we can make it but let’s keep adding more shit and find out” phase of the failure of the Suicide Squad game.
Just saw the article about early access premium players having the game auto-complete on first login. DRM should be the last thing on their minds.

If they make it bad enough nobody will play it and it’ll save them the embarrassment
The Batgirl technique!
I watched a trailer and gameplay and some interviews for the first time yesterday and it’s such a bummer vecause some of the ideas that they have are really interesting, and i think the game could have some potential, if you are into the kind of looter shooter thing. But i have very little hope for the game. Little to no
Given how much of the game seems to be live service slop I don’t even know how functional a pirated copy that couldn’t phone home would be
It’s so weird. It’s like pirating destiny 2.
I wonder if it’s to make sure people haven’t modified the client to run cheats, give themselves level 999 weapons and such.
arent anticheats cheaper though?
not that i hate that it wont have anticheat but corps are stingy and denuvo wants a hefty sum to protect a game.
How to kill that which was already dead…
With all the negative press this game has been getting, they might as well rename it to Suicide Squad Kill Rocksteady Studios.
If a game uses Denuvo, I refuse to buy it. It’s unacceptable.
