any idea why a bunch of beta/private branches for several games have been removed 4h ago? :/

Thank you for the clarification btw !

Oh ok I see, idk how I feel about that I’m way too nosey 😭

It’s not a quote though it’s just a normal post… unless they put the blocked text in place of the quote no idea 😭 so confusing

Just being honest handsome! 💞 you’re both a cutie and a hottie 🫶🏻

Oh you’re so hot actually omg 😭😮‍💨😮‍💨

correction: when i say like a dragon infinite wealth i meant like a dragon the man who erased his name (these longass names have me confused 😭)

So anyway that's the tea, cant wait for them to mess up again (probably on like a dragon pirates, they mentioned it'll have a limited time trial, meaning the method i described earlier should work lol)

That's all ty for coming to my ted talk <3

capcom (used to) do this, but sadly it seems they're keeping denuvo for way longer now.

This use of denuvo (just for the first few months) is something i dont have a big issue with (i still do bc it will still cause issues to some legitimate owners but at least preservation wont be an issue)

so yeah, denuvo sucks and i really hope game publishers finally realize that they lose more money by keeping it long term than by allowing a minority to pirate it

Some publishers use denuvo only for the first few months, which is the most important sales period, where the majority of sales happen

also let's be real, the majority of old game snowdays are simply preserved thru piracy, bc they get delisted, or lost to time, so what happens when this becomes a reality for today's games? there wont be a way to play them.

what happens if (when) denuvo servers go down? your game doesnt work anymore. You'd think the publisher would just release an update to remove it right? but will they? imagine this happens in 40 years, do you really think they will? If media preservation is important to you, denuvo is your enemy

why do i seem to hate denuvo btw? simple, it means you dont own your game, you cant install it on an offline machine, if you use a steam deck and denuvo decides that you need a new token bc idk you changed the sd card or something while youre out without internet you're fucked. and most importantly

So, Sega is paying millions every month or every few months to keep denuvo on these games to "protect them from piracy" when they have already been pirated, this budget could've been used to make the game better, lower the price or idk pay the devs more, literally anything else is more productive

It's simply replacing a .dl file on the game's files and that's it. Since a steam emulator replaces the steam client with a fake version that pretends to be steam, it'll open just fine and will not have any time limits, and since you already got the decrytion key for denuvo, you're set
