Bro, I've got like 25 hours in the Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster, on my Steam Deck and laptop.
Yesterday, an update caused the game to launch with a black screen. So I tried a few different Proton versions, before I start getting a new error.
I take a look at the discussion board for the game on Steam... Fucking Denuvo considers each version of Proton to be a separate "activation" and it will only allow five BEFORE LOCKING YOU OUT OF THE GAME FOR 24 HOURS.
I have never really given a shit about Denuvo before, but this is so fucking infuriating. I paid for this game. I've already played 25 hours of this game. Now I can't fucking play it?
Unbelievable. Denuvo is fucking trash, and I guess now I'm one of those people who avoids it.
DRM is never for the benefit of the consumers.
Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster has fucking denuvo in it? What the fuck? Does it have multiplayer or something?
I know. Not that I'm aware of, no.
Thanks for the heads up, was going to get that for my wife to try. I'll just spin up the ISO instead.
The game itself is outstanding (but I may be biased since the original is one of my favorite games of all time)
I agree. Said ISO is an image of the PS1 disc which is safely in its case :D.
Ahhh ok.
Worth checking out the remaster, even if you pirate it. Tons of qol improvements, and pretty good VA
Happened with the new DOOM too. I just wait for AAA games to remove DRM as a precaution.
I guess you were testing with multiple versions of Proton to see which one works the best? Otherwise, doesn't make sense to have changed 5 versions in 25 hours.
If you were testing as such, the game publishers should be paying you for doing their job of quality testing.
I don’t think anyone read your last sentence lmao
Maybe they did and didn't like that I used the technically incorrect term "quality testing", instead of "performance testing", which would be appropriate for this case.
Or maybe they just didn't like me saying that the one benefitting from said testing should be paying equivalent value to the one putting in the work.
Paid for your product like a little corpo slave bitch. Got what you deserved.
You dont own it unless you take it.
Fuck... So cool....
Its not fuvking cool. I wish i could just ask for shit and hand over points or whatever and get stuff by making stuff¹, but thats not the fucking shit-abyss dystopia we live in.
¹making stuff is the best! If you try to do it for points you will be fucked, and also it all gets stolen.
Oh no, I was talking about you
Great comment, thanks.
Only replying to this, bud:
You shouldn't have given those parasites money. That was bad.
Did I misunderstand what happened?
What PC do you play your pirated games on?
What corporation's lobbying to oppress me do you fund?
What? I was asking an honest question... If me purchasing a video game means I'm giving money to parasites (and it means I'm a, "little corpo slave bitch" that "got what you deserved"), then I would love to hear about where you source your PC parts.
There is no ethical consumption in capitalism. You are not better than me because you pirate PC games. Chud.
Whataboutism? Great defense of your shitty behavior.
Yeah that's not whataboutism, it is pointing out the hypocrisy of your bullshit.
You're a little corpo slave bitch for the PC parts you use.
Oh. Okay, sorry. I was just unclear about your mean>ng and read that as whataboutism.
I mean act like a whiny bitch get made fun of like you're a whiny bitch
I'm not whiny!
