Real question anon. Are you pissed at denuvo because it wastes CPU/GPU resources or because you cannot pirate it?
Also, post snip tool of your task manager before you reply. No ending tasks before snip.


I do not pirate any more as I am not a poorfag, but used to when I was a poorfag but I refuse to buy a game that has denuvo on principle alone and would pirate it after crack if I want to play it. Though never seen a PC only game with denuvo I want to play.

nta but if you were not brown you would understand both economy and interconnectedness of both finances as well as life as a whole.
For you, to simplify, because you are brown...if everyone pirated vidya, devs make no money, devs cant live, devs dont work, games dont get made...industry dies, no more vidya.
As a white person it is our (not yours, brown) responsibility to support (with our wallet) the industry, in both good and bad cases to shape the industry of quality.
Browns like you dont take part in that. It is why no vidya comes out of skid mark countries like yours.

No. Twitch drops have been available on singleplayer games for years, particularly Ubisoft and 343 games.

>>735072182
Twitch drops have been around for years. It's virtually always either cosmetics or some sort of beta code access. All you really do is click the specific streamer they list or "more" on the drops page for the game, pick a streamer, set the stream to 160p, and mute it. Check back every half hour or so to make sure the streamer didn't stop streaming and you're fine. Is it annoying? Yes, it's all FOMO and you usually can never earn it in game in any way, or if you can it's using some sort of paid method. Halo has like a good fourth of its cosmetics tied exclusively to Twitch drops, including classic weapon skins.
>>
>>735073191
kill yourself disingenious asshole
>>
>>735073156
let me guess, it's either "pay to use those items" like in korean mmo with lootboxes which could be only unlocked by keys you had to purchase
or pay to buy more inventory space
>>735073154
it feels lame, like you have to "watch" a certain grifter to receive reward. on twitch, the same platform where (if I heard correctly) an ad will pause the stream you're watching and if you alt+tab and watch something else the ad will pause as well... forcing you to watch the ad...

>had no argument
>gets mad when he's called out
Cry about it, having the hardware to handle denuvo doesn't erase it's problems, I have a 4070 and 32 gigs of ram, I refuse to buy denuvo games out of principle on behalf of people with weaker systems.
>>
it doesnt need to run above 20FPS, which is why it does not

it's free marketing. you give a shitty recolor cosmetic away in exchange for having people spam their empty Twitch channel to algorithm-boost your game.
>>
>>735071007
Wouldn't it make more sense to play the game for 5 hours instead of watching some faggot do it so you get some trash items that you'll inevitably replace by playing the game kek
>>
>>735071007

>>
>>735071071
filthy kike shill
>>
>>735073583
That's only possible with something like Discord, and doing it this way is free advertising without forcing someone to buy a game since a lot of these Twitch drops are for paid games.
>>
>>735073306
The latter and likely because they're going to do this for the online component being released later on which is going to be separate from the campaign. BDO gave you +1 and +2 inventory upgrades sometimes as quest rewards that you could accidentally delete. But they also sold entire rows to you as well as rolling temporary item slot expansion in a monthly subscription to expand your weight/encumbrance limit and item slots. Crimson Desert has both item slots and the weight limit scheme of BDO and I can promise you that people who play the game are going to hate how limited the inventory is because it was already being mentioned by multiple early players. Granted this is fixable but it's something so basic it seems intentional because maybe the devs want people to get used to it to be sold inventory upgrades like in BDO for the inevitable online mode of the game.

>>735074316
See >>735073243. You just watch streamers stream the game for x amount of time and then it grants you the drop. Then you tie your account to your PSN/XBL/Nintendo/Steam/other account so that when you claim the drop in your Inventory page it gets redeemed on the account. Very rarely is it a redeemable code, most of the time it literally just unlocks for your account.

You don't even need to physically be present, you can have the stream muted on another tab running in 160p (Used to be you could run it in audio-only mode) and still earn it. I had like 300 something hours of view time last year according to my year-in-review when they had it and I never watched a single second of those streams.

Denuvo is crucial for week 1. Any antipiracy is. Month 1 I guess if you're doing a sustained launch window (which I think this is), after that, less so. I think squenix finally figured it out, that's why they're yanking it off of titles after 3~6 months, DQ3 HD got it taken off, DQ1-2 got an update recently looking like prepwork for removal.

We do know denuvo impacts performance though, I wish devs would just be honest and say "these are the specs you actually want, expect a 10-20% performance loss from denuvo" because that's historically what it's been based on before/afters (and of course the doom eternal launch when that intern gave us both exes at once and we could do 1:1 testing)

>>
>>735071071
You are correct. The fact devs are still using denuvo so many years after its supposedly been doing direct damage to sales proves it's worth the invested money. Suits care about profit more than anything else and something like Denuvo would've been canned a long time ago if it was any harmful to that.

It has denuvo so the only mods we'll see until that's removed is texture swapping (if you even call that modding).
They've stated intentions to treat it like a live service game and hinted at possibly adding multiplayer down the line, so they have strong incentive to not allow modding or they lose out on that.

It is simply advertising/marketing.
Watch X retard play Y game for Z amount of time so zoomer retards can sit there, watch advert breaks or pay to not watch adverts and because they give you free shit it looks like the game is active as people are watching it to get free shit, which makes zoomer retards think the game is better than it is, buy it...
Its cancer.
Good thing about this shit is you can just put a tab on and carry on shitposting.
When I "have to" do it for some reward I want I literally look for the lowest viewer count streamer, non woman, negro or troon and put that on a tab.

As for the actual function of getting the shit, its just a matter of linking your account(s) to amazon and it recognizes it in game.
I have done it for quite a few single player games, in fact only single player games.
Cyberpunk
Hitman
Dying light 2

GTA online once too.

Most likely they will have a account set up in the main menu, or it links via platform.

This shit is meant to get you hooked on the game, but for me, it just feels like not touching the game ever, since I already missed on the content.
>>
>>735084898
Yes, most people. That's why a lot of companies have backed off of doing it. It works mostly for short term endeavors that the companies have little faith in succeeding long term. And it is successful, but then people will burn out because unless there's a guaranteed path of progression in the future they'll finish then give up. Fortnite succeeds much like roblox does because it updates EVERY. WEEK. They can afford to brush off people fearful of fomo because there's such heavy rotation you're never really "missing out" plus they've started bringing shit back.
But yeah, as with most other shit things in gaming, it started with mobile games companies had no faith in and wanted to suck dry ASAP. fucking mobilefags and normalniggers.
