Denuvo Software’s product manager, Andreas Ullmann, claims that pirates are the source of many unfavorable comments about the company’s software. In his opinion, the high efficiency of the software prevents them from illegally copying games, which only increases their frustration.
If we had to make a list of the topics that caused the most controversy among PC gamers, Denuvo would definitely be at the top. Anti-piracy software has had a bad reputation for years due to its unproven negative impact on the performance of games that use it. So far, the people responsible for Denuvo have not dealt with hostile comments against their work, but it seems that the creators now plan to fight for their good name.
The first step towards improving the image was to hire Andreas Ullmann as product manager and activation Discord official server. However, the creators made a big mistake, because it was the place where players were supposed to get answers to the issues that were bothering them. it has become a breeding ground for hatred. As a result, due to a wave of “inappropriate content” of the server has been closed after just 2 days.
After disabling the discord server, Ullmann he gave an interview Rock Paper Shotgun, in which he declared that the entire team would not allow any more venom to be directed at them.
Basically, it’s about things that the community posts. Just look, for example, on the Steam forum. A very toxic, very hostile environment. We just don’t want to let people who write all these things about us speak out anymore, explained Ullmann, referring to the situation when players accuse Denuvo of giving bad impact on game performance.
Interestingaccording to Ullmann, Denuvo’s bad reputation is because the program is simply effective. According to him, the reason for all the hatred is players who, due to security measures, cannot use pirated versions of games. Critical comments are intended to discourage developers from implementing the software in their productions.
There is a large community, many people on this planet who cannot play their favorite video games because they are not willing to pay for them, so they have a lot of time to spend on social media and the share ideas, trying to blame Denuvo for. many things – thus trying to force game publishers not to use our solutions and, as a result, to be able to start playing pirated copies for free again – continued Ullmann .
It is worth adding that there was a FAQ section in the now closed Denuvo Discord server in which the creators rejected claims that the software caused performance problems, referring directly to the controversy related to the games Resident Evil Village i Tekken 7 game. Let us remind you that players at one time blamed those two productions for the problems they blamed them Denuvo Exactly.
Ullmann noted that this was done recently test about the impact of piracy on creators’ income leads players to believe that Denuvo software allows corporations to earn even more money. In his opinion, however, the matter is not that simple.
Research shows that our solution saves around 20% – or 20% more revenue – if they use it. [chodzi o to, że zastosowanie Denuvo ma sprawiać, że średnio 15% (mediana wynosi 20%) przychodów, które w innym wypadku nie zostałyby wygenerowane ze względu na piractwo, trafia do twórców, co ma potwierdzać inny wynik uzyskany w tym samym badaniu, mówiący, że szybkie złamanie owego zabezpieczenia powoduje spadek przychodów o ok. 20% – dop. red.].
If I, as a player, read this, I would think: “ok, so these big corporations are just making even more money. ” But it’s not that simple. Especially now, the games industry is going through a very difficult time. Budgets for AAA games run into the hundreds of millions. Publishers and developers have to invest upfront and then get that money back within a few weeks of launch, we read.
The latter is a good explanation for why Denuvo is removed from individual productions several months after the first appearance (e.g. P lies At least Star Wars Jedi: Survivor). As of this writing, the Denuvo Discord server is still down. From the information published with the company indicating that it will be relaunched “in the next few days.”
