Gotta love DRM that makes paid versions of games worse than pirated stuff.

Funny how you mention performance as something than matters when claiming nobody is allowed to take a piss at denuvo, when denuvo is known to hamper performance in some cases.

With them insinuating that not wanting DRM means people are entitled and selfish in other posts and underplaying incidents where Denuvo has been problematic I'm wondering if they are associated with Denuvo. They'd of course deny it since what company wants to make headlines for that, but I'm getting the impression Denuvo is something they want to be ubiquitous.

But the way performance is framed by anti-Denuvo folks is that it is linearly correlated with enjoyment. This is not so. What I care about (and I will definitely give that this is subjective and depends on the individual) is that a game runs at 4k/60 on my computer at low/mid settings. If it runs faster than that, my enjoyment of the game isn't increased. If it runs worse than that, my enjoyment is decreased.

So if the game passes that bar with DRM, it doesn't matter to me if it would be faster without DRM. If DRM is the thing that causes the game to go below that bar, then I have a problem with DRM. But that is almost never the case.
