Doesn't matter, the paypigs will keep buying it and suffering under DRM while defending their purchase and trying to maintain their aura of perceived superiority over pirates.

Wait there's a crack already?

too bad physical media is dead, or they would have added a dvd-check, too.

i havent pirated a game in years, but i would pirate ACO just because of all this drm bullshit

What a time to be alive. And people call me a sperg when I have a policy of only buying drm free games

This is the future you pirated for yourself faggots.

It's not the 4 layers of DRM guys, our pc version is just shit like always.

>mfw we'll just pirate ourselves around it once more

It keeps the slavshits away from the game by blocking piracy.
What's the problem?

Does Ubishit like AssCreed even sell on PC anymore? I thought that was dead as fuck on the platform like CoD.

Ubisoft could abandon the PC market altogether and we'd be better for it, they release nothing but fucking garbage that only console users eat up.

>game already cracked on almost all ru torrents

Where's the crack?

And what are you going to do when all games are streaming, or are subscription services? How are you faggors going to lie cheat and steal your way out of that one?

Your time is coming to an end. Piracy can be stopped and its only a matter of time until the solution is found. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Denuvo is literally a rebranded VMprotect, why the fuck did they put both in?

I honestly want to believe there is something different going on here

this might be alex jones tier, but is there any possibility that jewbisoft might be data or maybe even bitcoin farming?

I just don't understand how you can pass college, become a computer scientist and then proceed to patch hardware diagnostics into a anti-piracy program and it suddenly turns so shitty that it manages to burn out something like an i7

Just don't support this faggotry.

antidenuvo had the game cracked in literally 2 days

This kind of piracy paranoia is dumb. Not worth the effort yet they do it anyway.

Wasn't Ubisoft using StarForce 3.5?
That shit was legit malware.
Fool me once...

>Sup Forums has a literal permanent piracy thread
>Sup Forums has weekly sharethreads
>/lit/ doesn't really have share threads but users will always point you to where you can find books

I don't know about Sup Forums or any other board, really, but I'll bet only Sup Forums is this willing to "support" the industry. The best part is that not even the comics or music industry are as bad as the videogames one, and yet you faggots keep on defending Ubisoft and Activision like those corporations were your relatives' or some shit.

It keeps happening.

>go to twitter and start typing
>DRM is a micro aggression towards minorities and so just another tool in the white man's arsenal to keep us down. Every game with Denuvo is the same as a crowd of white supremacist marching towards me while chanting nazi stuff.

you're welcome

Thay have to justify their games not earning enought shekels somehow. We surely wouldn't want them to admit the games are shit, no it the pirates fault.

The VMProtect DRM was included in a patch - the game originally only had Denuvo.

Tell that to GoG

There's legit thousands of games I have yet to play. Win win.

btfo cuck faggot.

So counter to all the shit posting, there is a crack out? Or was just no one able to get a copy of the original release before patches hit.

But the only ones getting screwed here are non-pirates.

Wow, you provided SINGLE EXAMPLE of a game that was LITERALLY made by the owner of GOG (CDproject).

Sure I was BTFOed to death kek

Moron, at least do some research before embarrassing yourself

And a typed serial key for authentication.
And a 'what is the third word on the fourth line of page 28 in the manual?' question.

as there is never an upside to discussing how you engage in copyright infringement in public, and spoonfeeding is discouraged, you don't talk about piracy on good boards, unless someone's site has been shut down

>all those older games
Games on steam continue to sell well because of sales, user. Not to mention release of sequels will typically bump interest in their originals as well, which as also likely to be cheaper than the newly released sequel.

That's incorrect comparison and you know it. Bunch of older games:
a) had years of store time and obviously will have more copies sold
b) were bundled billion times
c) few of the mentioned in your collage were given away few times

That's quite pathetic attempt of uneducated piratecuck and I'm telling you this as piratefag to piratefag. You dont need to resort to this low shit fagget

You could get sued, then go to prison if you can't PAY DENBT.

EVERY fucking time that image gets posted there's a blind, retarded trash of a person that doesn't look at the part on the right, holy shit.

Pirate this dick bitch

>a) had years of store time and obviously will have more copies sold
Which that pic addresses.
>b) were bundled billion times
See above.
>c) few of the mentioned in your collage were given away few times
In the same post-release 2.5 month period?

you could include cuphead and sonicmania in that pic.

By this logic a sequel would never outsell its predecessor, and that's just not true.

>And a 'what is the third word on the fourth line of page 28 in the manual?' question.

I'm actually miss these times - kind of. At least you got a nice manual with your game.

>cheaper game sells more in 2.5 months on PC than more expensive one
>and only just barely on a few of them

Yes, I saw.Yes, it is still bullshit. These are number of copies old by lower prices:
a) many older games have permanent base price descrease
b) they are more often on sale

Therefore it is absolutely incorrect to compare 215 copies sold by 9$ versus 195 by 59$, dumb nigger.

>Which that pic addresses.
No, it doesn't.

The only proper way to address this is do a fair comparison:

1. Take the data of copies sold from first 2-3 months after release
2. Compare it against the same data of any other game

This will be fair comparison.

>In the same post-release 2.5 month period?
What " post-release 2.5 month period"? You do NOT have such data not you can acquire it in any way. SteamSpy only started to monitor stuff recently, for 95% of the game listed there (JC2, TR2013, Limbo, etc) you will never have proper numbers in the first 2-3 after-release period.

You simple incapable of making a proper comparison in this case unless you manage to get official numbers from publishers (which will never happen).

You are so desperately wrong on so many levels it just sad. There are better way to present and back up your position and you went so the most obviously pathetic one. It probably says more about puratecucks than it should - uneducated filth. No wonder you cant pay for vidya because you are middle-shool drop out and probably wash dishes in McDonalds (yes, this is ad hominem because I know Im right here and it is hilarious to know that)

I haven't bought an EA game since they put micro-transactions in Dead Space 3, and I won't buy any game that has always online DRM on it either, and neither should you.

>>cheaper game sells more in 2.5 months on PC than more expensive one
Except in this case it's years later, it has no reason to outsell the shiny new game in a specify time period because people had plenty of time to buy the old game. More importantly this is NOT NORMAL, fucking Dark Souls 3 had a much smaller userbase than DS2 (since the latter was on x360/ps3) and it still outsold it.

Obviously, sales eventually die off for the older one more as sales continue on for the newer one, especially once sales price equal parity. These are also a small selection of games, a few of which had other problems besides having denuvo added. Tomb Raider had a botched Xbone time exclusivity campaign, Hitman had a botched episodic cycle, and Homefront: The Revolution had a much smaller ad campaign than the former. It doesn't hurt to remember sequel sales typically reflect the response to their predecessor more than their own quality. We are also talking about Steam here, where more high profile sequels outselling their previous entry typically come up on console markets where sales have been until recently much less deep.

There are of course exceptions, where a sequel blows past their predecessor right out of the gate for one reason or another. These are rare.

Sup Forums is piracy-only, basically. Sup Forums also encourages piracy of Sup Forums content if the pantsu cat is anything to go by.

>Therefore it is absolutely incorrect to compare 215 copies sold by 9$ versus 195 by 59$, dumb nigger.
Except what matters is that the $9 has been out for years and people had plenty of time to buy it and it STILL outsold the new one years later in a specific time period, there's no reason for that to happen and it's not supposed to, it's not normal.

>Buycucks will defend this
LMAO

I know this is bait but come the fuck on now.
for every single game on the right hand side there are simple reasons as to why they sold worse than their predecessor and none of them have anything to do with denuvo.

also comparing lifetime sales of games that had 90% discounts / were included in humble bundles several times is terribly misleading.

>Sup Forums is piracy-only
24/7 buyfag general disagrees with you, tough Sup Forumsutists don't usually throw shit fits like Sup Forumstards about piracy

>tfw 0 DRM layers and smaller file size with repacks

There is nothing abnormal.
Like, I do not own TR2013 and JC2 still and I can buy it any time if sale is good. multiply it y few thousands other people in the same positon.

Plus, it also depends when this data was taken. Was the game bundled at that time? Ws there giveaway? That shitty collage has no research, it just bad.

proper comparison will require far more effort and number crunching but why would some random Sup Forums fag actually put any effort when he can just make a mish-mash pic, post it and slam le funny "BTFO" on top.

That's the most basic neo/v/ imbecile is capable of.

>try to play Leisure Suit Larry in Land of the Lounge Lizards
>early '90s
>pre-world wide web
>have to answer a questionnaire on contemporary US politics to play the game, AFTER it asks your age
Not so easy when you're five and English.
It was a crap game, but all the walls it put up made it ever so enticing.

>The only proper way to address this is do a fair comparison:
Except the fact that the old game is years old and is still outselling the new one is what makes it a point against Denuvo, more so than just comparing launch sales of the old non-denuvo game. Because an old game is not supposed to outsell a new one years after release in a specific time period.
>What " post-release 2.5 month period"?
The one in the picture, it shows that 2.5 months after those sales numbers were taken on the left, the old game was still trouncing the new one.

>I know this is bait
How is it bait?
>for every single game on the right hand side there are simple reasons as to why they sold worse than their predecessor and none of them have anything to do with denuvo.
Like?
>also comparing lifetime sales of games that had 90% discounts / were included in humble bundles several times is terribly misleading.
Good thing the image addresses that in the right part of it.

Can't pirate figurines, mate.

Games are not in a limited supply.

Backlog for any fucking PC user is at least in hundreds of excellent titles.

>Except the fact that the old game is years old and is still outselling the new one is what makes it a point against Denuvo, more so than just comparing launch sales of the old non-denuvo game. Because an old game is not supposed to outsell a new one years after release in a specific time period.
Nice, dodged the argument again and moved goalpost. Classy,

>The one in the picture, it shows that 2.5 months after those sales numbers were taken on the left, the old game was still trouncing the new one.

If you have problems wrapping your head around the fact that cheaper game with the price of 5.99-8.99$ sold more than newly released 59.99$ game then you are just plain retarded.
DRM has nothing to do with it and your attempt to stretch number on top of your pathetic argument just look bad. There are better written arguments that address the DRM issue and how it affects sales.

>There is nothing abnormal.
Of course there is, an old game isn't supposed to outsell the new one years later, it's like if you went into one of those "weekly sales chart" threads on Sup Forums and saw that Doom (1993) was outselling Doom 2016.

Yeah, because anons buying series box sets, manga or lewd doujins are non existent despite digital free alternatives existing, right?.
Plastic buts just get more exposure because you can post only so many 'kemono friends in moonlanguage vol2 unboxing photo 1 of 127' before anons start to bitch and moan.

>Nice, dodged the argument again and moved goalpost. Classy,
What argument did I dodge? What goalpost did I move? Just because you think there's another way of showing a better comparison doesn't mean I'm "moving the goalpost".
>If you have problems wrapping your head around the fact that cheaper game with the price of 5.99-8.99$ sold more than newly released 59.99$ game then you are just plain retarded.
Why do you keep ignoring the fact that the old game is years old and has no reason to outsell the new one? Dark Souls 2 didn't outsell Dark Souls 3, can you explain that?

>Obviously, sales eventually die off for the older one more as sales continue on for the newer one
Then why do those sequels in the image sell lower than the previous entries, even months later? And don't permanent sales exist?

>and saw that Doom (1993) was outselling Doom 2016.
For that week period, mind you, not lifetime sales.

>Of course there is, an old game isn't supposed to outsell the new one years later, it's like if you went into one of those "weekly sales chart" threads on Sup Forums and saw that Doom (1993) was outselling Doom 2016.

"Old" isnt an argument nor it should. Cheaper good game will ALWAYS outsell expensive good game. If JC3 was released by the same price JC2 was at that moment - what would sell more? The answer is obvious.

You have zero experience how market works and yet you try to present some claims. You dont even understand simple fact it is incorrect to compare 2 games by units sold when there is marginal difference in price. Game1 can sell 2x less than Game2 but have 2x more expensive pricetag and still have the same income.

I'd like to say here that you should frogg off back to plebbit but can't, because such kind of retarded logic only being used by Sup Forums retard on Sup Forums, even reddit understand how it works and how to make comparison properly.

just another case of anti-piracy hurting paying customers

Is there even any proof for this? Any performance comparison with pirated versions with the DRM disabled?
This is just more memed bullshit, like Denuvo killing SSDs, which it never did.
There's a major difference for shitting on DRM for what it is and does compared to making shit up about it to make it appear worse and get people riled up.
Game runs like shit because it's Ubishit programming and most AC games ran awful on PC and if it wasn't for hardware getting more powerful they'd still run like crap to date.

they have a collection value and they tend not to lose value, if anything they can gain it
a digital game with 4 layers of DRM though? cant resell and I'll be able to find it for 5$ in a couple years at most from any key reseller

(you)

I'm not the one memeing about a performance impact that isn't proven. It's just heresay. You can be a little rebellious punk all you want but it doesn't make you right.

The game is already cracked, why the fuck would they throw another DRM layer on top when pirates are already able to play the base version?

It takes zero effort to debunk that bullshit comparison. The main claim there is that if older game without Denuvo sold more than newer game with Denuvo then it DRM's fault.

You can easily prove it wrong by making the same comparison using nay other games that never had Denuvo/DRM or with the opposite situation: when game had DRM but next game didn't.

For example:

EVIL WITHIN
Total owners: 735,057 ± 25,631 owners
Owners gain last week: +30-35k

EVIL WITHIN 2
Total owners: 101,331 ± 9,523 owners
Owners gain last week: +25-30k

SHADOW WARRIOR 1
Total owners: 3,139,849 ± 52,842 owners
Owners gain last 3m: +600k

SHADOW WARRIOR 2
Total owners: 337,691 ± 17,380 owners
Owners gain last 3m: +30k

and so on.

That bullshit "argument" absolutely has no correlation to situation with DRM and how it affects sales, it just cherrypicked info that only would look like it has weight to anyone who didn't bother to put some effort into thinking.

bullshit 0 proof

I play the fucking game with an i5 4590 and can run it at steady 60 fps on High.

only idiots running the game with unlimited FPS complain about high CPU usage as the game is running at 1000 FPS unlocked

>older games that u could pick up years ago for 5$ have sold more than games that barely hit a 50% off on full price
Seems legit. A more fair comparison would be comparing both sales in their one year release timeframe.

Even for 0$ I wouldn't touch a Ubishit game. Who the fuck is willing to waste even a single bit on their HDD on that trash?

>VMP literally pings every step you take in game
>I-it's just our shitty optimization guys w-we swear, believe us goys!
Why don't the frogs just admit they fucking hate pirates and know normies will still eat up an inferior product?

>Picking two games that were both panned by the players and no one asked for sequels to
Well, yeah, shit sequels for shit games sell bad. Fool me once and all that.
