Denuvo Is Ruining Games | A Pirates Tale

- Denuvo Anti-Tamper is an anti-tamper technology and digital rights management system developed by Austrian software company Denuvo Software Solutions GmbH, a subsidiary of Irdeto. The company also developed an anti-cheat counterpart
Not to glorify Pirating tooooo much but recently devs have been adding Denuvo to games despite knowing it slow performance. Games like Wild Hearts and Jedi Survivor basically getting negative reviews fueled by lack of performance a growing problem in todays game landscape.
Correction. Fitgirl doesn't crack games, only repacks.
Great correction pinning.
I came to the comments just for that 😁 Fitgirl is awesome, but yea, just a repacker 😎
@@EveryGameGuru She might be just "a repacker" but Empress is the actual female Denuvo games cracker.
@@EveryGameGuru awesome my ass check task manage what is using on install process

Empress really did a "you either die as a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain"
Nuh, I don't think she did anything. She's relish on the attention and someone is using her as a scapegoat should they get caught. Her statements and replies it's quite obvious of that
Empress took the blue pill (a.k.a. the Voksi treatment). The DRM industry gave her an offer she couldn't refuse.
@@Aki-kh2qe-StreetKidZZZ She is a he (Voksi) and he got busted for talking shit about Skidrow. Denuvo games are not getting cracked from now on...
Gonna cry ?
yall kept disrespecting her, so now u got no denuvo games to play & blaming empress for that
if buying isnt owning then pirating isnt stealing.
too bad w/o empress u pirates have no 3a games to play, shouldnt have disrecpected the queen with ur blantant wokeism
Fuck denuvo, I haven’t pirated a game for more than 10 years and Denuvo made me consider to start pirating again. But I don’t want to pirate so now I wait for deap sales on steam for games that don’t have denuvo.
Yeas, this, me too, i pirated a lot of games when i was a teenager, most because steam was not around and the 90s internet was not fast, but today after years without downloading anything if someone had cracked Dragons Dogma 2 i would have pirated it, just because of denuvo.
the gaming industry wouldn't have been where it is if not pirating
Can u tell me where I can download cracked games safely?
Pirates are gonna pirate and there is nothing you can do to stop them. I can understand and even support protecting your hard work but to go as far as using something that castrates your games performance boggles my mind. I mean, is this what gaming has become? All publishers are Todd Howard and other people over time fix their games? Keep fighting that war on drugs... er pirates. It's working out great.
If you buy out your competition, then you win. I haven't seen anyone (recently) crack denuvo except for Empress and she doesn't crack all games.
DRM also means you dont own your copy of the game, you own only right to play it
DRM is something easily circumvented be it a pretentious little money-grubbing pirate whore or otherwise. No matter how good the pirate queen is or believes she is there is always someone better. All hail whoever holds the current Imperial title. @@kuronya3582
I don't mind DRM on games. I personally haven't pirated a game since i can't remember when... i don't even have MP3 on my drives.
But what i WILL NOT condone, is a DRM that is squeezing my CPU and is constantly checking my files for any tampering.
I came here looking for information about Denuvo because apparently Dragon's Dogma-II is using it.
And after learning about Denuvo, i decided to NOT buy Dragon's Dogma-II ... atleast not unless/until they remove Denuvo from the Steam version.
Some studios remove it after a week or two, the release sales are the most important ones.
Lies of P removed Denuvo months after release. Denuvo in Capcom games are relatively "easy" to handle for pirates as Resident Evil and DMC5 are cracked already. Just needs time
You should look at the Hogwarts Legacy retail vs Empress versions. The Empress version had about 20fps higher consistently.
Imagine buying a game today and the game died the next day and you want to try to play it but you can't because DRM.
Make any possibility in your mind that why you can't play it and why you can play it.
I can understand that the poor billionair doesnt like losing 10 dollars a year but the big problem is that the switch barely runs without denuvo, now add some stupid bloatware that they call "anti piracy" and you got a fucking stove for a gaming console
something to keep in mind is the actual definition and court rulngs on its terminology. the term "pirating" a game isnt downloading it with a cracked copy. or even torrents at all. but rather, SELLING OR CHARGING OTHERS for a copy. so empress was actually pirating games by charging to crack them.
merely downloading a game thats cracked isnt illegal. gaining money for it is. tho alot of the big companies are always trying to change this, and succeeding in a few cases. but the definitions used in court have yet to change.
i will always torrent a game with dinovo. if a game uses dinovo, it dont deserve money. if i torrent a game without dinovo, i usually buy it as soon as i get my paycheck if i liked the game enough to play past 3 hours.
disclaimer: im not a lawyer. but i do spend alot of time doing research on laws and terms used in them, and verify my findings and anything related to them.
Facts. i hope and pray that people come to their sense about Denuvo as a whole. developers need to understand that we see changes in performance and how little they care about fixing it. thank you for the information and thank you for watching!
Arkham Knight one day decided i needed to be online to play the game i bought. I didnt have internet anymore. Became a pirate ever since
Can u tell me from where I can downloaded cracked games?
How did you pirate the games without internet?
@shanebobey9435 I tend to not have internet for most the day myself. When I have time I'll connect to the internet at a place with free WiFi and download anything I need, then go back offline.
@@Kaleun14 ah fair enough
Denuvo is s plague that infects too many games. I have actually pirated games I already OWN and paid for just because they ran like shit because of Denuvo. The cracked versions ran much faster and had less crashes. Now if I hear it has Denuvo I actually won't buy it till they take it out.
Denuvo never approached Empress, she was trolling. The offer of 250k a month is ridiculous.
250k is not that ridiculus. How much do you think denuvo charges for their subs? And if one person can f up with their sales why not pay them a stupid amount of money?
keep grinding bro ur gonna be big one day
That means so much man you don’t even know
thank you❤️❤️
IM LEAVING A COMMENT BELOW EXPRESSING MY FEELINGS ON DENUVO. I AM NOT ON THEIR SIDE.
😂😂 PREACH
I think there's one thing that would kill Denuvo: the same thing that broke Crowdstrike.
IIRC Denuvo operates on the Kernel Level so, like Crowdstrike, all it takes is one compromised or faulty update to brick gaming PCs everywhere.
i hate that she still gets called the pirate queen... thats like calling the best modern day somali pirate the greatest ever when Blackbeard was a thing.
gabe and steam killed the golden age of game piracy. and ironically the second he dies and steam goes public traded and becomes crap like Uplay or something, well see a new golden age of game piracy, and the priate banner will probably have gabes face on it.
wrong. pirating is as strong as ever.
@@bojcio kid, if you think piracy of video games is even remotely as widespread as it was before the age of steam you dont know anything about internet piracy. back then if you played video games on pc, you were a pirate and half (often more) of your games were pirated copies, period end of story. literally everyone was sailing the high seas. since that number today is not nearly 100% its not even close lol. sure tv and movie piracy never went anywhere, took a dive during peak netflix era, but its back better than ever thanks to the million different garbage streaming sites(though it did take a hit last week because of a treaty between Togo and Australia) video game piracy though... thanks to steam existing it remains niche at best. aside from some people who really really hate drm and easy-anti-cheat, most gamers do not pirate.
The yoda part Fukimg had me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOLOLO glad you enjoyed ❤️
the background music is way too loud
Denuvo literally ruined the game industry as a whole. I would even say over micro-transactions cause the fact that they lose money + consumers just to avoid piracy? Look at Sega, literally majority of their games in the PC are hard to crack cause of this Denuvo infatuation, I will say remove anti-pirate software because majority who used cracked games are poor or just can't afford it but in a long-term standpoint, they might be fans of the game and will buy future releases in the future, it shows exposure and care to the devs who made it. The more people who play, the more popularity, the more long-term success. It sucks as the "Publishers" really are old corperate dumbasses who think the less pirated game, the more consumers will buy when in actuality it will just drive people away from their products. Denuvo just sucks as well due to many cases of it being a performance nightmare, I wouldnt be shocked if it is a bitcoin miner in the background aswell, with it being both restrictive and in some cases make the games all of sudden online-connected forcefully even if it is a single player game.
IKR. and it’s no secret why some of the most successful titles don’t have Denuvo ; THEY DONT WANT TO EFFECT PERFORMANCE! people deny it but there’s a reason not every major developer jumps on a chance to have it.
@@confessioncritic Yep plus the notion of these big AAA companies saying piracy is bad is just dumb... it gives more exposure to their games, people who grew up in countries that arent first world or like poor kids downloaded pirated games but companies just care of the short term money. if they allow piracy or just make it a bit more lenient the industry will be at a peak with great ass titles, old games being revived, Indie scene growing exponentially, streaming and esports growing, and no ultra strict anti piracy so every one can have an opportunity to play their game would be amazing
@@ronyeeto5068 yes, if only the world didn't care when someone stole their product they worked hard for. Damn them. Dude, get a job and pay for the damn game. Don't pay for microtransactions, that's ridiculous, but games like this just pay the money and support them. get out of your parent's basement!
@@benberken6806 No one cares what u said lil homie
@@benberken6806i partly agree with you, but personally i use a lot cracked games, 1st for testing my hardware and second for testing the game itself. If everything goes well, i usually buy the game. Without a cracked version, i can't afford to risk buying games that run like crap on my system.
Good video but I do feel it kinda mixed up the history of Denuvo cracking with the 'why denuvo is bad', which got kinda glanced over in a few words
I'll say it many many times, Empress although speculation on my part but based on my experience in security services and what I've learnt her statements show that she most likely is NOT the person who does the job, she probably is just a scapegoat that relish on the attention and someone's using that and her should they get caught.
This was a nice clean informative video well done!
If ALL games released had Denuvo for a few years, the 2nd and 3rd world fanbases would crumble to dust. No merchandise sales, no valuable publicity, no nothing. And then there's all the modding communities. Oh dear.
How do you not already have 100k or 1 million subscribers? Your content is extremely under-rated.
Thank you so much that means a lot, we’re on the way up, we’ll make it there soon enough ❤️❤️
I haven’t bought mk1 on steam deck because of denuvo
1:31 can i please get the link for that link?
RE4R player here, I used empress at first but just for the sake of getting the new updates I decided to buy it from my leftover savings to get the new additions that I never tried out. The game is way slower than empress version, WAY slower. I experience FREQUENT crashes and stuttering and frame drops when opening certain doors, empress ran so smoothly. It's crazy what Denuvo can do to normal consumers, actually horrendous that this pos software is getting normalized.
Sir, i need a 5 hour long video of pirate lore pls
Well... EMPRESS is missing for some time now.
Yes. I hope there is nothing wrong with the Empress and that she is well. And I'm saying this not because I'm waiting for him to come back to break games, but because I really hope he's okay. To be honest, I fell in love with him.
one of my two huge gripes with some of these drm are to do with it hogging up performance (which some say it doesn’t anymore but can’t be sure), but my other big gripe which no one can refute is that is will so,etc,es prohibit me from playing a game i paid for and wish to play offline. something which should be well within my right to do so
all i want is a game i can play offline and is also not taking any more of my performance than is actually required
Just in here to say Denuvo ruined a potential GOTY, Dragons Dogma 2 along with microtransactions.
🤮 ikr never seen micro transactions in a singleplayer RPG revolutionary bullshit right there
I first played the pirated version of Dead Island 2, it ran so well and never crashed. So I decided to support the developer by buying it on Epic. Holy Crap, the Denuvo version of that game is such a crap, with constant stutter and occasional crash. Had I known they implemented Denuvo, I would have never supported them. And also, everytime when I experience stutter in a game, I will google if they have denuvo, and most of the time, they do. Fucking denuvo cvnts, should be illegal.
Payday 3 had a prelaunch update that was just. "We removed denuvo. Hope to see you in game. Happy heisting -strbz almir" parafraced (almir is head dev) had to look up what denuvo was cool vid thanks
what game was that @6:00? is it any good? i liked the graphics
I think it is watch dogs legion
Forspoken
@@cvarc3736Ohho, I'm sorry
Bruh candy crush
rip empress
Just wanted to add that denuvo emarged from the ashes of secuROM, another drm software that spied users, fucked up the game and was also used as online authentication. Games using it also were rended useless when it died in favor of denuvo, i cannot stress enough how much i used to hate secuROM back in the day specially because it fucked up Spore badly.
Wasnt SecuROM used in Alpha Protocol? I bought that game, disc, yeasr after its release and i couldnt play, had to find a crack online. GOG has it now, apparently it took a lot of work to remove that crap and make the game work as intended.
Not going into great detail, back in the day, games were released affordable and in working condition. Without weekly or monthling patching needed (99% of the time). Then came the great IBM PS1 and the like, that brought in sound cards and video cars from other companies and more complicated games. Still patching was small and often just was tweaking to the game for better balance. Now we come to today, were games are released 75% of the time in what I feel is a beta, looking for the users to do the QA testing so that a year or more from release they can have a properly working title. Some games like Flight Simulator and the Sims will cost you over $1214 (Currently for the Sims 4 and DLC) for the game with all it's addon's to make it complete. I honestly can't condone piracy when the companies make games that are both unfinished and or, out of the price range of the average consumer. I don't pirate, I just don't buy junk anymore and keep replaying the old stuff that actually works. Or wait 2-3 years for the game to be $9. lol
What's the game @6:20?
Minecraft
Monster hunter i guess
the irony of a thief getting mad over thieves "stealing" the things they already "stole"
Ironic but none of this is actually stealing
I'm more than happy to pirate games. Not because I don't like paying, but I hate DRM so much.
admit it it has nothing to do with denuvo ur just broke and tryna justify piracy
they should just make a game worth buying if they hate pirates
*that photoshop is pirated isn’t it*
Please keep us updated on empress! She's like a real life Griffith from berserk and I love it! Subscribing with hopes you do so!
Hopefully they are not going to do the same thing to GTA 6
I'm currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 cracked version for some reason it crashes every 10 minutes or 15 and I am blaming dinovo
hopefully not but i would not put it behind them at all
They will and it will be a glorious battle of the pirates vs the corporation. Denuvo may be so advanced by the time it releases that the crackers may not be able to win and we may see the dawn of a new era 😢
You have a crappy version. Look for an update or newer release. Maybe even lookup rdr2 empress fix.
People hacking the game is the reason for Denuvo, so you and the people like you created this problem. Get a job and pay for games you like.
@@benberken6806 and you lick boots for a living. Fun fact. I own RDR2 on Steam and Xbox. You need to go back in time and realise how DRM hurts the consumers of games, tv and movies and music. If are still ignorant there are many companies willing to exploit you and you're expirence of the liscence you paid for.
whats the piano music's name?
The Hyrule theme in Wind Waker, i use a lot of Wind Waker music
Hi-Fi Rush also has Denuvo but sadly no one on RUclips has pointed this out yet.
Damn thats unfortunate
How to make your good video great: lower the background music at it's sometimes too loud and makes it hatd to hear your voice plus pls cut all the unnecessary noise that makes us just want to stop the video. Otherwise good.
Thanks for the feedback! yeah still working on sound mixing and stuff of that sort!
I think denuvo is fine until the game is cracked, expecting big corporations to willingly have their game cracked on release day is absurd
I think it's fine other than what it does to the paying consumers. Often times the game stability is GREATLY effected. Look at Dragons Dogma on PC. The game is barely functioning. Denovos performance hit is massive. I also find the always online aspect of the DRM to be horrible for paying customers. In a perfect world DRM wouldn't need these 2 aspects of always online and massive performance hits. Until then I find Denovo to be a horrible business practice.
expecting small minimum wage teens to buy a lambo just to play some decade old game is the real absurd thing here
It's not that I approves of pirating games, denuvo just sometimes slows the game down, I use an old gaming laptop some games tales 2-3 min of loading but games with denuvo takes 5-7 min loading time worse 11 min, I tested it on a GOG game and a Steam game ver. of cyberpunk and the GOG run faster and I can keep the file on a external hard drive to install whenever I want to keep my laptop storage free, It's sucks that I have to buy the game 2 times just to play a faster version of the game
This was the same with NFS Rivals on PC. I noticed the pirated version loaded at least 5-10 seconds quicker than EA's official version.
You do not own modern games, you merely purchased a license to use it (the software) as per the TOS/EULA.
I don't play/buy any game with Denuvo as denuvo will undoubtedly be extra cost for the product that I am buying, I am hell not going to pay for things that I don't need/want/work against me.
When I had played For Honor for a while, it just suddenly slowed down the PC randomly into an unusable slideshow. Despite not having any file that relates to the game except for itself.
I Think Denuvo is more fucking with the games than protecting.
Like, it tooks more to crack? Yes, but, i will buy a game that will not run in my PC even when my hardware is powerfull enough to handle it? No, i will just buy if one day the game become optmized.
And this is the problem with Denuvo, people just care about the money and don't realise that their shots are returning to themselfs, people just buy their games because there is no crack, and when the crack releases the purchases fall as hell, and just get back to normal when the game optmizes...
Which means a title's performance relies completely on whether the company behind it whines about pirating more than actually working on it or not.
Empress is a guy by the way.
Obviously... I was wondering why no one made the connection that just because someone is called "Empress" doesn't imply they are a woman
Do you know any cracks for South Park the fractured but whole gold addition I have the game on Steam, but I can’t play it offline and I have a trip I’m going on so I can’t be connected to the Internet all the time
I have a full version crack of it without denuvo and can be played offline.
@@SimpleHedging well I can’t find it anywhere myself
@@aaww1010 its on fitgirl
Why don't you buy an original game to support developer and download crack get good gameplay performance?
Some good morals if she was able to turn down $3m/yr. And she was doing the cracks for like $500 lmao
Too many interruptions
Well folks Denuvo will be available in Civilization 7 :(
how tf u have only 350 subs
🥺 Thank you for the support. We’ll get there soon!!
Currently i NEED to pirate some of the games because im live in Russia
4:03 I love when you guys say the pirating community in general lol, if you mean the people that get shit for free you might be right, but the pirates? lol they are chinese eastern european or even middle eastern none of them care about lgbt.
Is fitgirl a he/she like is it stated anywhere that fitgirl's a she or everyone just calls her a 'she' because of the name Just curious
I just don't understand how stupid the people must be to buy Denuvo and install it.
There are three types of people who will pirate.
1. People who don't have enough money to afford a game
2. People who don't consider the game worth its money
3. People who straight up won't touch the game unless it's free
Two of those are literally impossible to make customers out of because they just won't buy your game no matter what and the third speaks more about the game being shitty in which case it's not even pirating that should be a concern for the profit.
The worst thing is, in this stupid imagined scenario where they think those three will buy their game, they make the product worse for those who actually are supporting their business. I am all for author and selling rights, but this is stupid even from business perspective.
Black Myth: Wukong, sadly use a DRM i was hyped for the game but i realy dont going to download it ore buy. litterly downloading it will downgrade litterly every game you use -5 - 50 fps even on RTX4090
if a game needs a server to validate against anyone should be allowed to sue the publisher for damages the server goes down like they sue you.
damages done on lifetime bases. like i have 50 years left on average. of that 50 years (432.000 hours) i could play the game for 259.000 hours ( reducted by 1/3 for sleep, eat). i want those house in not able to play the game compensated.
Yakuza Like a Dragon: Infinite wealth could've been a great release without Denuvo, but considering sega handled the performance for PC handsomely with Denuvo, I think it is a good tool when in right hands (If we exclude Steam Deck ofcourse...Denuvo ruins that one).
Otherwise, if MOST AAA industries use it then people (especially Denuvo stans) shouldn't be surprised it gets such great backlash.
If you are new to both piracy and anti-piracy measures then don't higher anyone to apply Denuvo to your game. It is like using smartphones to only watch TikTok.
To be fair Game sales and quality have dropped significantly after Denuvo and Sweet Baby inc. came into market.... So, maybe they..... are the problem
Good sense of humor you got there
I buy every game i want to play, dont pirating anything.
But ONLY,litterly ONLY JUST BECAUSE OF F***ING DENUVO i really think about pirating some games in the future, not because i dont want to pay the gamedev, but because i dont want this ROOTKIT on my PC just to play a game.
Thank you and good night
if you need to be online all the time then the game you purchased is not yours to begin with
Sshhhhhh… No one tell him about multiplayer games!
If a game has Denuvo, I won't buy it. (I won't even bother to pirate it - the game simply becomes irrelevant to me.) Requiring an internet connection to play a single player game is unacceptable. If people stopped putting up with this and refused to buy these games, Denuvo would go away. Unfortunately, far too many gamers are so hooked on certain franchises that they will swallow whatever crap the industry shoves down their throats. Gamers dutifully burn their money on microtransactions, pre-order games that will probably be broken at launch, and buy games that will stop working if the servers go down. The solution is simple. If you hate these things, stop supporting them with your money.
so beautiful content for good subscribers. :)
great video
I just want to say I watched and liked this video but... I don't know anything about pirating (I really don't).
i believe you ;) THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT ❤️😂❤️😂
Long lived the empress
There's no need for a drm if you stop pirating software. There, problem solved.
now this was a good ass video
Cheers mate!!!! thank you so much for watching
firgirl crack ? ..... lol am not finishing this video am out
EA and Ubisoft suck
I don't really mind DRM But right now They need to begone Because Most of the games Right now Was releasing are Fuqed up unoptimization and then they add denuvo Well Thats fuqed up the unoptimization more.
Queen of the pirate's
I support pirates because i don't want to waste my money on Copy paste games
empress wasn't the first to crack denuvo + he is def a dude.
Why is it wrong to make profit from your work? You want people to make 100m dollar game and give it for free?
What a Great video
THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️ luv u 🥺
Denovu games especially deserve to be pirated
Ótimo vídeo
i mean you said youd tell us what denuvo is exactly and then you say the broadest shit known to man kind
funny and informative video. i was dying 😂😂😂
Hahhahah glad you liked it!!!! 😂❤️❤️❤️
“Denuvo ruins games.” Why? “I can’t get it free.”
lmao what do u know how shit games run when they have denuvo
Fire content 🔥🔥 keep it up bro
Thank you! really glad you enjoyed it!
is it you vex 😮😮😮😮😮
Wukong has denuvo. Shame.
Shame
Shameeeeeee
shame on devs, they dont trust about their pubblic. who use Denuvo in their game is a terrible devs with bad optimizations e games fucked up only 20% will crack that game, no everybody is going to crack it! cmon the devs must be really idiot to put something is ruining the optimizations on games ahahah
i like your voice bro. where u at ?
Thank you for the support!!!!! New content Soon, promise
🔥🔥👍👏
but now he is in jail lol
we dont really know
Nearly every AAA game in recent years is garbage anyway, so the fact that they're infected with Denuvo is a moot point. Literally, who cares?
I'll stick to indie titles, thanks. They're more innovative, more imaginative, and more fun, and almost never infested with DRM. They're also typically so cheap that the idea of "pirating" them is just silly. Just wait for a Steam sale, and you can stuff your Steam library until its bursting at the seams, for pennies, with more games than you will ever have time to play anyway. And unlike AAA garbage, you might actually enjoy them.
I always find it amusing that the things people go furthest to protect, are usually the things that are most worthless.
indie games are running the industry while AAA is going down FOR SURE. it’s just sad to think that if these billions of dollars spent on AAA were given to these indie developers, they could be making revolutionary titles for all of the world to see with amazing marketing.
@@confessioncriticIt would be like cure for cancer for us gamers. Yet, like most cures for cancer, someone up in the "food chain" leaves us nothing but expensive trash medicine whilst taking away the real vitamins...it is intoxicating at this point!
Yet they still have stans too?
Hope FITGIRL CRÀCK GTA VI
she doesn't crack any games, she download cracked games and compression it.That's it
"her" "she"
existence of pirates is why denuvo exists. This is your punishment and a deserved one.
