I also recall there being concerns over what Denuvo does to SSDs. It basically dramatically increases the number of writes to disk, causing them to wear our much faster than they would otherwise.
- c-hendricks 3y agoWould love to see your sources, everything I've found says that's not actually the case > Causes excessive HDD/SSD reads/writes which degrades the lifespan of storage drives. > > The origins of this rumor are various user reports from 2014 and "tests" performed using Lords of the Fallen and Dragon Age: Inquisition. This has been denied and debunked multiple times by both Denuvo themselves,[13] publishers/developers, and other users since then. As shown in the technical information section, Denuvo Anti-Tamper performs minimal read and write operations to the drive, and there is no benefit to do additional drive reads or writes in terms of security or performance.[14] https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Denuvo https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Denuvo It's fine to not like DRM. It's another thing to spread FUD and appeal to emotions.
- slowmovintarget 3y agoI recall reading that at the time, and simply choosing to avoid Denuvo and waiting to buy titles that included it. I'm willing to update my credence on that idea. Thank you.
