2K Games and Denuvo reportedly force mandatory 14-day online checks on their games

[Kovlak]

Yep, seems PlayStation isn't the only one. Denuvo and 2K are now forcing 14-day online checks on 2K games with Denuvo.

Denuvo has been cracked in all single-player games it previously protected — 2K Games and Denuvo reportedly retaliate with mandatory 14-day online checks

Temporary success for the red team elicits a collective cheer.

Guess I'm gonna not buy games that ship with this malware even harder

All so they can push microtransactions and shit nobody needs. I think the WWE games (by 2K) have 3 different microtransaction focused modes now, ON TOP OF a paid battle pass system.

No, thank you to paying for these games. I already have a backlog of significantly better, and less greedy, games that don't need the internet :)

 

[JellyjamLu]

You bought the game, they get their money, you keep the game?
Why is there this weird, unnecessary digital spanner thrown into all this? so silly, i'll never understand all this new age ownership shyte.

I'm so sick and tired of Denuvo.

It's like companies enjoy losing costumers.

What is this now, a new trend? These are really tough times for us gamers.

 

[RageBurner]

They really work hard into getting people to abandon their products and platforms.

 

[Mr. SyS]

Who gets fucked over? Paying customers! Meanwhile, pirates don't have to suffer from any of that!

 

[BrawlMan]

Good luck, having most people to bother even paying for that. I don't touch any of their games anymore. I really have not touched a new game under that label for decades now.

I'm just amazed that companies keep trusting Denuvo with their products after that Discord debacle a while back.

It literally screamed 'untrustworthy'.

Another proof, that retro-gaming is better than playing new games. I'm glad to playing nearly only old games by now.

Retro is the future, man. And not just in games. Companies nowadays are pulling all kinds of stunts. Old tech is more reliable and doesn't surprise you.

Fuck this shit, just another reason to stick with retro stuff.

Any time a new game releases that I have any sort of interest in and I see "Denuvo" on the steam page, the image of the guy reversing the car pops up in my mind.

I feel you tho honestly. I've been on Ninja Gaiden Black, Ace Combat 4, FFXIV, and Monster Hunter. New games barely get much excitement from me anymore.

 

[otogirisou]

Now i can't even enjoy something i bought legally with my salary from an obviously underpaid job.

 

[sogib]

It's funny that Denuvo is supposed to make piracy harder, but by doing shit like this they only encourage it more.

Starforce is back...

I'm still not afraid to try new games, but a majority of them are indie or AA.

I'm not afraid, but I'm also not inclined to invest in premium priced current hardware and demanding new AAA games when I could be very unpleasently surprised by them. Time tested hardware and games are known quantities.

 

[Bakuma1997]

This is the thing of crap that make me prefer Steam, GOG and Itch.IO for my gaming purchases

Same difference at this point.

Exactly.

This shit is the reason why I stick with Retro and Indie games.
