Well, I refunded the game. It's the loss of both sides. And I really wanted to play Mania since I don't have a current gen console.

You nugs can kick and scream all you wabt.

There is nothing wrong with it and you are nothing but a bunch autists looking for something to be triggered over so you can waste your neet lives away shitposting on an anonymous chinese meme factory.

I was hoping they'd see the backlash and remove Denuvo as soon as it's cracked, but if they made this they probably don't give a fuck. Guess I'll pass on this and Forces.

What exactly IS wrong with Denuvo?

Well if they aren't taking it off (and even if they are this late in the game) I'm just going to get the superior free copy.

If they want me back as a customer they must do the following:

1) Produce a NEW sonic game with entirely NEW levels superior to sonic mania (no rehash levels)
2) Release it on PC in a fixed working state at the exact same time as consoles
3) Release the game on both steam and GoG DRM free (no steamworks), as penance for their sins
4) Include full modding support
5) Release it with a substantial launch discount that extends beyond release day so we can be assured these conditions will be met before we buy

Until these things happen I will pirate every SEGA game.

>>388868150
They really just should have left that out of the Q and A but they were hoping most people wouldn't read the in-depth answers.

>>388869254
>will only ever impact people that actually purchased the game since pirates won't deal with denuvo on their cracked versions

>>388869489
This.

Sega betrayed all pc users legit or not.

Also, with denuvo, the game will never be modded beyond sprite replacements.

>>388869407
>Produce a NEW sonic game with entirely NEW levels superior to sonic mania (no rehash levels)
i don't think this is ever happening regardless of their stance on DRM

>>388869641
Don't forget they delayed the PC release date specifically to add Denuvo.

>>388869641
Meanwhile Just Cause 3 with Denuvo got entire Multiplayer mod.
I rarely ever see an exe mod beyond widescreen patches or master server replacement. Most of modding communities are around assets.

>>388867719
>this much disinfo and deflecting
What the hell happened over the past few months with Sega? Bayonetta and Vanquish were Denuvo-free and I loved them, and I was partially hyped for Mania because I assumed they wouldn't shove Denuvo in it. Then this debacle. What the fuck gives?

>>388870192
bayonetta and vanquish were afterthoughts, decade old games that were pirated to hell and back already, likely not ventures they expected to make much money (and potentially tests for ports to modern consoles, even), sonic mania is a multiplat that was hyped up to hell and back, expected to perform, and marketed accordingly. Not protecting their investment by keeping the game free from the clutches of piracy for the critical week 1 where impulse buys reign supreme would have been a stupid move.

>>388870030
And that is exactly why sonicmania will be the first one.

Theres gonna be a point that that will be needed to go further, and unless the mania team can come up with something to allow exe acces, which i doubt it, we are gonna get stuck.

Thanks to sega, the ONLY thing that could made mania pc unique is DEAD.

>>388870721
But they did that already! Thats why the delay was too.

Anyone have that picture where every other board is fine with pirating shit instead of /v/

>>388871129
They still need to protect it on pc too. I doubt, personally, that the 2 week delay on PC was solely to implement denuvo, there may have been some sort of critical bug they only found late on. In any case, they're protecting the PC port. In a month from now when it's been cracked, they'll probably dump denuvo like most companies do. Then again, it's sega.

>>388871356
>>388870721

You know what, you are right!
Theres people who are fighting denuvo to make the game, a single player OFFLINE game to be easier to pirate.

However, whether you find it disgusting or not, theres people who legit paid for the game and cannot enjoy it cuz denuvo is unsafe and theres records of that.

I want you to read this and tell me its fair or not:

>sega decides to delay the game 2 weeks just because in one of the switch leak streams some faggot troll said that he was gonna pirate the game.
>taxman, as a warning, posted in his twitter a message that everyone understood.
>legit users got screwed by not being able to play the game and have the entire experience spoiled unfairly.
>now that we FINALLY got the game after becoming unable to enjoy it, it results is now locked for modding.

how is that even fair?

>>388871424
Or, we could actually use our noggin' for a second while shitposting (lol) and think to ourselves;

>Why are they so upset over this game they really wanted? It was delayed for two weeks meanwhile every other port got it the same time. Why are PC users so irate?

It shouldn't take multiple stickies on their steam page and a press release to make you realize that they pulled the wool over any PC users eyes.

This is one of the only games this year I was actually interested in coming to PC. Delayed. Delayed again with no information as to what needed fix other than 'polish'. Release day comes and surprise, denuvo with no mention during the live stream, on the steam page, or in any media discussions. They thought they could release the game with denuvo and not say a word. Wrong. All this is because they refused to tell people what was going on.

That is not really a surprise but what is a surprising is how little of your God given brain you're using.

It'll be cracked within a week anyway, just like RE7

Baldman is onboard now too and he even managed a 4-day Denuvo crack

https://www.reddit.com/r/CrackWatch/comments/5yijw0/crack_watch_games/

>>388871978
when has sega ever been a smart company in the history of video games? And if the secondary demographic won't get you any money, it's absolutely a wise decision to sever them from your brand. Especially if undesirable. Hasbro tolerates bronies because they spend money on figurines and dolls to cum on.

>>388871991
Oh no you had to wait an extra two whole weeks, if you were planning to buy anyway then other than the delay denuvo won't affect you

>>388868743
>What exactly IS wrong with Denuvo?
It's a lot of work for no benefit since Denuvo games are cracked almost instantly nowadays. Since the EXE is encrypted, it makes game modding more limited in scope.

Wrong. Marketing is everything and even if they're not buying the product, they're spreading the brand. Marvel had that covered for a while, though people are burned out now, so it's not working very well any more.

This is one thing Japs don't understand about the West. In the West the customer is /never/ wrong. You either appease to them or die in a competitive market that will cater to them if you don't.

Good luck to SEGA. Fuck 'em if they don't learn to adapt. Doesn't matter what anyone says, if the customer is unwilling to accept Denuvo then they need to find another product to protect their software.

>>388872546
Steam allows you to play games offline indefinitely though. And Steam DRM is extremely weak and easy to remove in worst case scenarios. Some games on Steam don't even have DRM at all. For example, you can buy Trails of Cold Steel on Steam, download it, and play it without even opening Steam up.

>>388872378
Sega and sonic are not multi billion dollar brands, they cannot try to spread their message and get their games out and hope goodwill will push them over the edge into profitability. video games, despite popular belief around here, are still not a normalized activity. People won't hear "oh shit, new sonic? I'll go get that!" Maybe madden, maybe fifa. That's about it. If they don't have initial interest they won't buy it. And on PC more than any other current platform (360 and ps3 were really bad with piracy) it's important to protect your game during it's initial launch, to make sure people who would otherwise pirate if given the option, will buy it instead. There will always be people who wait to pirate, there will always be people who buy, but impulse buys and impatient people make up a large majority of those purchases that they play for 5 minutes then never again, and don't bother refunding either.

>>388872214
I refuse to buy a product with denuvo attached to it.
You don't buy clothes from the store with the store telling when and where you can wear those clothes, do you?
No, you don't. Why should it be any different for video games? Oh, right, because they want to tie the sale to each person to prevent used sales.

CD Projekt Red / GOG said that there is actually no noticeable improvement of sales with DRM. And that most developers / publishers even recognizes the fact. But enforces DRM anyway in order to appease investors and sponsors.

And there are tons of studies and reports claiming that file sharing has no negative impact on sales. Some even claiming that it can have a positive effect.
So no matter whether or not that's actually the case. This whole idea of "Of course they need to protect their game! Launch sales are important!" as if there's no doubt, is far from convincing.

>>388873092

>>388868743
your game now has internet access blockades that can occur at pretty much any time, in addition to denuvo needing to be woven directly into the game code, hindering modding or tampering with files. also, it's a fuckin 2D sonic game. like are they for real? they also gotta pay denuvo big royalties if it sells well, and have to keep paying for the license perpetually.

It's a bad deal for the developers because it invades and compromises their game's code, and often its performance as a result.

It's bad for consumers because, christ where to start, if you have an inconsistent access to internet, only own a laptop, whatever, a game with denuvo is basically telling you to fuck off with constant online updates and check-ins. The sole way to enjoy the game uninterrupted, if it has denuvo, is at your dedicated computer with internet that is connected 24/7. They make you jump through a bunch of hoops to confirm you're "legit".

Also makes game archival near-impossible unless it's cracked, which it usually is, but not every time.

>doesn't affect performance
>you don't even notice it, not like an external launcher or anything

Remember when Sony put rootkits and other malware onto people's systems for the purposes of DRM and corporate interests?
Remember when that happened multiple times?
Remember when Denuvo were since the very beginning put together by and funded by Sony?

Sony has a fucking terrible track record when it comes to DRM and respecting their customers. It's not even limited to the above, it just so happens to be the most grievous examples.
Just like before they're treating you as a potential criminal at all times. But they're the ones you want to trust?

It can damage very old SSDs that can't handle certain write speeds.
It is claimed that Denuvo writes at a significant rate constantly, though there are counter arguments indicating that the amount written is negligible.
On today's hardware, the write speed is essentially non existent.

>>388873579
this has been discussed to death, with there always being literal bald faced liars repeating the mantra "denuvo affects performance" and until i detect just one frame of drop on my steam debuvo games, i will continue to call out you memeing shitters because you are fucking pussies for not even being able to tell the truth fucking anonymously.

it blows my FUCKING mind every thread, and you wouldn't get any shit if you just said soemthing akin to

>i don't care about denuvo, i just pirate anyway

thats it, thats all the truth you have to admit, denuvo does nothing because it doesn't even read or write a goddamn thing from or to the hard disk, hell it doesn't even phone the mothership after the inital startup

>>388873873
Not that guy. But even if you can still do mods, denuvo still prevents certain kinds of mods. Through its very nature as an anti-tampering tool.
Injecting code into processes and whatnot makes denuvo throw a hissyfit.

>>388873873
That's IN SPITE of denuvo and the simplicity of sonic mania, but it is still an obstacle which is fucking gay and doesn't do anything but piss off fans and buyers, lower the quality of the game, and make pirates wait a whole extra fuckin week for this simple-ass 400mb game to get cracked.

it's a stupid anti-consumer thing to do and it shouldn't be defended no matter what game it's attached to. and as >>388874058 says, until denuvo is dropped it modding isn't going to get far.

>>388873418
in the long term, with all those "official" studies, absolutely. DRM has no effect, which is why it's removed on something like 70% of titles nowadays after month 1.
but to say that there's no effect in that first month is ludicrous, absolutely ridiculous. Retarded, for lack of a better term.
look at spore, look at crysis, tell me they wouldn't have sold infinitely better (even if the games were...m eh, at best) with proper DRM instead of the garbage pre-cracked securom they leaked with.

>>388873736
Because "performance impact is minimised" implies that it is still affected which is the opposite of their claim.

Not him but is there a tool you can use to auto manage your library into groups like that? I have like 560 games and I'm not doing it by hand. It is painful to search through and find a game I want by genre.

>>388874174
Or perhaps the sheer amount of people file sharing those games at launch was exactly what gave the games their famous wide-spread awareness and publicity. Which in turn translated to sales?

Can I say for certain this was the case? No I can't.
Can you say for certain it was the reverse? No you can't.
So for a lack of a better term, it's hardly retarded.

>>388873693
The possible need of online reauthentication is my problem with it

>>388874431

Spore was also a gigantic disappointment and a game that in no way lived up to what was promised. Not even remotely.
It was the No Man's Sky of yesteryear.

Spore having DRM would have in no way saved the game.
It just so could be, that the sales the game did manage to amass in the end, could very well have been thanks to file sharing. Otherwise it might have just gotten panned and forgotten.

Even if "minimised," why is my performance being impacted if I buy the game, meanwhile there would be none of this impact if I played a cracked version? This is not anti-pirate, this is anti-consumer. It exists only because of retarded shareholders who probably thought their kids' computer games were viruses a decade ago.

Daily reminder that pandering to mass audiences killed gaming and movies

>>388874956
It would have though. you're missing the entire point. If the game wasn't pirated, do you think, let's assume 100% overlap between purchases and piracy (lel) , that those 3m would have not bought the game to try it out? Not everyone, not even 50%, sure, but even a meager 10% would have been 300,000 extra sales. That is insanely high for the production budget of spore.

It's Japan, they're probably used to getting nothing but mandatory obedience and dicksucking from consumers.

Spore was a massive scam. All piracy did was get the truth out faster.

It literally doesn't matter. Consumers dictate the market. If you aren't willing to adapt to demands you'll die off. The only alternative is orwellian regulation which does happen. It is how Cable companies remain relevant despite no one wanting to pay for the service. It is why Netflix/Hulu have taken so much of the market. People want shit how they want it. And whoever is willing to give it the way they want it will end up on top.

>>388874386
It doesn't actually take that long, since you can now select multiple games at once, and they can belong to multiple categories. The key is to do a little bit at a time.

>>388875014
And yet there isn't a huge shitstorm every time a game comes out on steam.

Things can be minimized to zero (or below).

Shit man, I think i might have memory loss, I was remembering a time where Emoji Movie tier films weren't produced in the 60's and 70's, where capeshit didn't come out 3 times a year and gain almost billions worldwide, where pandering to le POC didn't happen every fucking movie. Nope, I think I need to go to a doctor. Oh yeah, does anyone else remember when games didn't have micro transactions, DLC, cosmetics and once again pandering? Nope? Fuck man. I'm at a loss here.

In other words, go shove a cock up your ass and keep worshiping your failed ideology

>>388868150
Can you not read? It says that the performance impact is minimized, so that framerate is not affected. FPS and performance are not the same thing. One is just dependent on the other. There's no lie there. They are explicitly saying the FPS will not go down because of Denuvo.

>>388875656
That was before our countries were destroyed, it's a different world now and you will just have to deal with it.

>>388875656
Brainwashing is a powerful thing anon. Even with total Jewish media control in the US though people still resist. The lowest summer box office revenue in decades attests to that. People are sick of being told they're worthless for being white and being told to celebrate degeneracy.

>I can't tell the difference between "FPS is unaffected" and "performance is unaffected"
Please tell me more about your lack of reading comprehension.

And why do you think it was destroyed? Also, reminder that economic systems don't mean shit when creating art, the Soviet Union funded Tarkovsky for fuck's sake

What's wrong with being anti-steam? Is it wrong to use ANY other purchase platform? This is what you call being a sheep. You insist on supporting a company even when they're fucking you on the ass.

No more nude mods.

Goddamn, why are you people so defensive?

>>388875368
If your point is that people strangely hate Denuvo while accepting Steamworks, I agree with you 100% on that
They should hate both

Despite Sega's performance claims some people are reporting Sonic Mania is raping laptop CPUs like they owe it money

>>388875368
Because steam actually offers you something in return, whereas you get no benefit from Denuvo

RiME
>Game is super nice and you should support devs, buy it when you can do it. But the game will be much better without that huge abomination called Denuvo. In Rime that ugly creature went out of control - how do you like three fucking hundreds of THOUSANDS calls to "triggers" during initial game launch and savegame loading? Did you wonder why game loading times are so long - here is the answer :) In previous games like Sgw3, Nier, Prey there were only about 1000 "triggers" called, so we have x300 here. Next - 300,000 called "triggers" were just warmup for Denuvo, after 30 minutes of gameplay it became 2 fucking MILLIONS of called "triggers". Protection now calls about 10-30 triggers every second during actual gameplay, slowing game down. In previous games like Sgw3, Nier, Prey there were only about 1-2 "triggers" called every several minutes during gameplay, so do the math. Don't forget that triggers is under VM and heavily obfuscated, which obviously does not improve perfomance.

straight from the guy who cracked it.

> denuvo does nothing because it doesn't even read or write a goddamn thing from or to the hard disk, hell it doesn't even phone the mothership after the inital startup

Wrong. Denuvo apologist are literal bald face liars and meming shitters who don't care about facts or the truth.

Meh this shit has never affected me no matter how much fear mongering i read
Im glad they stuck to their guns and fuck the pirates even for that 1 week

>>388868150
i am not defending denuvo because you should be able to play everything offline. but if you have such a shit oc that bloatware fucks with your game you need to reevaluate if pc gaming is right for you. mestizo

>>388885694
Pirates are still going to play the game freely anyways when they eventually crack the game.

>>388885694
The irony of antipirate autists accusing pirates of fearmongering will never cease to amuse me.
