I’m an adult with a job, and I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of affording the recommended system requirements for this game any time soon. RX6800XTs do not grow on trees.

Now imagine how fast they’d be without Denuvo.

Steam system requirements say RX5700 minimum. Recommended is RX6800XT, which was ludicrously expensive last I checked. Also I need a much newer CPU.

In this economy, that’s gonna be a no from me.

What the heck is database cracking?

Gotta move that fruit up!

Who the hell are they expecting is going to play this game? Only trust fund kids?

“Pirates? I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the gazillion sales we’re about to make.” —Bethesda, probably

Why would you want to play a Bethesda game 5 days early? The best time is several months after release, when the community has had time to fix the bugs.

As is Bethesda tradition.

Unless I’m mistaken, Denuvo constantly encrypts and decrypts everything in the process’ memory, including executable code, in order to conceal it. There is no way to do that without massive performance overhead.

It would also be unplayably slow. Bethesda games aren’t known for performance even without Denuvo slowing them down.

Sadly, mods can and do remove the horrid dialog wheel thing, but they can’t add more interesting dialog options.

I feel like Bethesda wouldn’t use Denuvo at all, because it would break a lot of mods, and Bethesda games rely heavily on mods to be fun.

ETA: Also, Bethesda games tend to be appallingly slow even without Denuvo, let alone with it.

It costs four hundred thousand Red Bulls to crack this video game in twelve seconds.

I loved Fallout 4…once there were enough mods to fix everything that’s wrong with the vanilla game.

Which is par for the course with Bethesda. 🤷‍♂️

Are Blizzard games worth cracking any more?

If they’re good enough for Roman legionaries, they’re good enough for you.

Good idea. Goodness knows Putin will do everything in his power to install a puppet in the White House in 2024, just like he did in 2016.

There is no context that can justify apartheid.

He can install one of his puppets as US president, though.
