Gabe's DRM platform isn't as bad as the rest! That's the thing: he saw a service problem and tried to solve it best he could. Steam's DRM is way less intrusive than Denuvo.
- jsmith45 5y agoDoes valve even really try to counter the steam DRM defeats? I know like a decade ago, steam emulators existed that could replace the steam DLLs for offline games (or potentially, but more risky: online games that don't rely on valve's servers). I've not looked into it since, but honestly I'd be totally unsurprised if they never engaged in a war with the pirates on those tools, and they are no harder these days. My impression has always been that the Steam DRM is more intended to prevent casual copying than to be a real piracy deterrent. (This meshes with games on steam often including more invasive DRM systems on top of the Steam one.)
- sudosysgen 5y agoI can confirm that cracking the Steam DRM is as easy as ever.
- imtringued 5y ago>the Steam DRM is more intended to prevent casual copying than to be a real piracy deterrent. What about all the piracy that happened because of intrusive DRM? It certainly prevented that kind of piracy.
- Mindwipe 5y agoIn this case Denuvo isn't intrusive either. Even the cracker says that. The DRM causing the issue is a piece of Capcom software.
