Everyone calling out Denuvo for being a laggy mess, rejoice! Denuvo is being hurt bad the bad PR enough to launch a full on propaganda war. One such weapon in their arsenal: Giving “trusted” outlets access to both the unDRM and the DRM copies of the game.

Now for anyone who knows game’s journalism, you do not bite the hand that feeds you. Your income revolves around being one of the first to the punch when it comes to a review and the only way to be first is to ensure studios like you enough to give you early access copies.

Does anyone here think these outlets are going to say that Denuvo is slow? Not if they ever want that kind of access again! “Trusted” is right. “Trusted” to be in Denuvo’s pocket.

    Is there a way to tell if a game is using this crap?

    EDIT 3: Another auto-updated list of games to avoid that use Denuvo

    EDIT: found this list, will leave it here in case someone needs it. (REPORTED TO BE OUTDATED)

    EDIT 2: also as they pointed out in the comments (for Steam users) this list is more updated, and if you follow it, it shows you if a game uses denuvo or not when you are browsing a game’s store page.

        That’s cool but you can’t search through it and the way the list is displayed makes it so there is no game title in text so Ctrl+F isn’t possible either. Am I missing something?

          No, you’re not. It’s for whenever you’re browsing games on steam, like the discovery queue or when there’s a big sale, it will show up before the description if it has, like this.
