    This reminds me of the time the Zoom CEO announced he wanted employees back in the office because remote work wasn’t as effective. It’s easy to assume the people running these companies are competent…

      TBF, before the pandemic, zoom was being used by companies that had employees at different locations.

    Why would denuvo even want to do anything about its public image? Their main customers are companies and your average gamer does not care about DRM in the slightest.

      Classic corpo arrogance.
      They can’t just make their product and enjoy the millions the publishers pay them, no, they have to be liked by the public (who aren’t even their consumers), they just have to have a Twitter account and a Discord server, and post their shitty little #epic #memes.

      A burning desire to be liked by the general public, call it Elon Syndrome?

      I’ve been saying people need to shut up more on social media, turns out it applies to companies too.

      While still a small percentage, the amount of people who refuse to buy Denuvo infested games is probably growing, so they might wanna minimise the risk of companies not implementing it. The issue is that the kind of people who would avoid such games aren’t gonna care about your attempts to improve your deservedly shitty image lol.

        They know that people not caring or being aware of them isn’t going to cut it, people who are aware of it and its impacts don’t want it. And since it is publicly disclosed that it’s there in the game, and there are lists and curators to make that more apparent, not knowing isn’t likely to be something to last for long.

        So it’s only natural they’d want to try and improve their image, though this little stunt definitely did not help them.

    Basically, you’re confined to the no-fun welcome channel zone—forever in slow mode—until you prove you can behave yourself, at which point Denuvo will elevate you to “Verified Player” status and let you get into the meme, chat, and dev Q&A channels.

    And this, friends, is why so many businesses are closing their forums and other public facing, indexed spaces and using Discord. It’s a black box that they can gatekeep. No complainers allowed to kill the “vibe”, no publicly searchable database that will keep track of what has been deleted, and no visibility for the negativity to the general public doing a Google search on the product.
