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.

      Try being a e release engineer and having to use it. It’s awful. You have to configure your nodes to connect to their servers and then wait for the “magic”. Quite often it would time out and this was for a mega video game studio. Denovo is trash.
