Rich c bombs batteries on PS4 has been fixed with the update 9.0 and it means PS4 is free from DRM.
Rich you should check out the video of Modern Vintage Gamer, it's called The PlayStation PS4 CMOS battery problem has been fixed.
I would just buy the authentic version, then request a pirate to teach me how to hack the DRM out of the equation, then patch the game onto a private server or local machine, therefore bypassing the traditional opt-out/lease structure and retaining legitimate ownership of the game in case the company belly-flops into a pool of razor blades.
Steve & Carlos are Pissed Off.
THIS is why we must use P2P so we can own and backup all. Because God knows they will never do it.
I talked to someone who did management in the games industry. He has a computer science degree with alot of experience and I asked him why do you even bother with DRM the pirated always find a way around it. It does nothing. He replied with "I know it does nothing but we only do it because older share holders are scared of piracy" I can honestly see some truth to this.
Sounds about right boomer logic
"I talked to someone who did management in the games industry."
At first I thought this was about Rich's editor again.
Shareholders control everything.
Shareholders are the biggest wimps and weak minded people on the planet. The moment something slightly goes wrong, for 1 second, they bail and leave. So this doesn't shock me.
That and I think it has something to do with the fact that hackers generally need couple or few days to crack it (varies a lot). So say a game get's released but the pirates can't get the game for couple of days some of them might grow impatient and buy the game instead. That's a win for the drm. I think the logic for shareholders etc is probably thinking this way. Remember, humans are weak and simple minded.
Customers: Suffer
Pirates: wait and play thousands of already avail and cracked games.
This is the problem with drm, it punishes the wrong people.
Absolutely. These corporations STILL haven't realized that DRM like Denuvo just pushes more people to pirate games. Their DRM ironically HELPS piracy.
You don't get it man... Pirates are the good guys. (Except if they pirate non-DRM game)
The bad guys are those who encourage DRM, microtransactions, gambling mechanics and other.
That's it, you gave money to EA, Ubisoft, Activision... You are the bad guy participating in everything wrong in gaming.
@@crystalwater505 THIS
@@crystalwater505 Nah infact, they MOTIVATE piracy
piracy is not exactly "BAD"
1:48 their Definition of "unhackable" is "the game will be cracked about a week later than it would've been otherwise"
I've said it once before: There needs to be some kind of consumer protection act to protect customers from sleazy corporations, and DRM needs to die.
Who here remembers the DOOM and DOOM II Bethesda Net DRM way back in the day?
Way back in the day? Feels like just yesterday when they tried that garbage. Lol.
except the sleazy corporations are the ones who pass the laws
They completely forget about Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind.
Regulations would only make things worse not better
They said it was a glitch, but you couldn't tell for sure coming from Bethesda, glitch gods and DRM deities alike.
Anyone remember: Sim City (2013), NFS (2015), Metal Gear Solid: Revengence for Windows, BATTLEBORNE, Outriders, Godfall, Diablo 3 back in 2012? What did they had in common? Forcing us to stay 24/7 online even if we wanted to play solo, because - piracy. So yeah DRM is a parasite for games at the end of the day because everyone is been accused as a pirate consumer equally even if we legitimatly buy the games our selves.
No wonder why I liberate my games from DRMs.
@Vinther1991 exactly
That's from the same industry that used to have "the disc must be in the optical drive even if you fully installed the entire game to your much faster and higher capacity hard drive" method of "anti-piracy" mentality that got got tiresome rather quickly, years before the overall trend of going away from discs started!
@@archelonprime isn't that the issue the majority of the retail copys from the PC games happen to?
Yeah, they tarnish everyone with the piracy brush and then wonder why games like the fairly recent Metroid Dread starts appearing as pirated.
Major thanks to the gaming community for their efforts in turning non-preservable games into preservable ones.
Thank empress and mr goldberg they both helping with crackkng denuvo games
This and anyone who saved rom site collections for whenever a company pulls a thanos
Brings back good old memories of E3 2013 and the Xbox One.
Ahh yes, the year where Microsoft announced you can watch TV with the Xbox One. Good times.
@@MikeUK66 exclusive NFL content on Xbox one baby, woo-hoo!!!
Ah yes announcing the death of Xbox that year
Oh my man i feel ya. Because of that Horrific of a disaster press conference unfortunately The xboxOne brand suffer tremendously. I mean yeah they sold over 50 million units world wide but the damage was already done because by the time Microsoft reach those numbers with their unit sells. Nintendo and Sony surpassed them by a BUNCH by the end of its cycle with over 121.5 millions units sold from the PS4 on SONYS part and Nintendo with their Switch with over 92 millions. I'm glad Phil Spencer is the Head of the Xbox Brand now but man those were a "little rough" for micro because of that horrible press they made in 2013
@@christiamcruz7454 it wasn't even. That bad. It was just ps4 was better.
DRM is a weird piece of software. its suppose to prevent anyone from pirating a game but most people that dont know how to pirate a game are too lazy to pirate and would just pay for the game. pretty much anyone with that knows how to pirate games wouldnt be deterred by it.
"If we destroy games, nobody can pirate them!" -Denuvo probably
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything (to your bottom line).
It's funny because DRM games can still be pirated, it just takes way too long until someone finally manages to crack the game
@@speed3414 people who want to pirate will wait regardless of how long anyway
@@idowateveriwant7507 I'd say that's obvious, but apparently it's not for many people
@@speed3414 From Rick's testimony, a hacker cracked the first DRM from denuvo within a month. I figured the process was just a "band-aid" that someone can peel off without pulling a hair.
Denuvo incorrectly sees the Alder Lake Performance Cores and Efficiency Cores as being two different CPUs entirely -- therefore locking players out.
Why does it even care if you were using a dual CPU server for all it is worth?
Insane
And the work around for some of the games is to turn off the eCores. Absolutely unacceptable!
@Ihraleiat Ideal
It sees them like a virtual machine, virtual machines can be used to hide cheat tools so anti-cheats automatically flag them as such.
😂 😂 sucks to be a pc master race gamer!
@@Spanluver I like consoles, too, but no one should have to deal with this crap.
and that's why I always buy first at GOG, if there's a chance you can get your games without DRM you should be responsible and buy them that way
Sadly, people like you and I are the minority when it comes to supporting GOG. Maybe someday, we will stuff like Nier Automata, or Metal Gear Rising on GOG.
This! Exactly this. Only problem I see is that not many people know about GOG. I only found out a few years ago and its amazing. Only buy games from them and their terms of service are 100 time bettter than other sites. You own the games you buy there unlike other sites
I did find it funny that they had the latest hitman live service. Then they took it down because of the always online DRM.
They use DRM too and delete comments in their forums. Hitman has DRM then silently delisted the games.
Only PC games store I buy from
I was trying to play Postal 3, which I own on Steam, for some nostalgia. It literally wouldn't boot because the DRM client was broken. Akella, the developer and official owner/supporter of the title, is defunct. I contacted both Valve and Running With Scissors (Publisher), but neither could help me outside of Valve offering a refund. Just goes to show that DRM is not future-proof and can leave you with a product that doesn't work anymore, which modders have to fix. Speaking of which, I found a DRM removal mod/patch for the game, and now it works like a charm. Crazy times we live in where I have to feel like a pirate just to revive a product I purchased.
I bought kingdom hearts 3 on PC and my save file got corrupted. I wanted to use someone else's save file but the epic games launcher doesn't let you use other people's files. I had to use the pirated version of the game to do this even though I bought the game. When piracy has more benefits than just the game being free, there is a problem.
yes
Its never made sense, I realize they want to protect their IP's but a pirate is always going to pirate and making a legit user suffer isn't going to deter that. DRM is just dumb
Exactly. It just creates a circle and causes MORE piracy. The more they try to stop piracy, the harder it is for legit customers to enjoy the game thus turning them to piracy.
Arrrg
Think of it like drinking in public or drunk driving.....how many more people would be doing it if it wasn't illegal.
@@crystalwater505 It doesn’t make pirates pirate more. Pirates will ALWAYS pirate whether DRM exists or not because they’re poor and everything handed free on a silver platter believing themselves to be self entitled to everything. Look at the retro era. Was there DRM back then? No. And they stole, anyway. If they would PAY and accept what’s been offered and not expose coding for hacks there’s be nothing hard about enjoying what you buy and invest in.
@@DaveGXYou're pretty much wrong about that friend.
CDPR has their own built in drm. As in their products are half finished and you can’t play them properly anyway.
In fairness, that sounds like a lot of games these days. Especially when they can release a product (I refuse to call it a game since it's unfinished at launch), call it a "beta" and then have everyone else test it for free for them, so they can patch and break things ad infinitum.
Lol
So pirating is the better thing for consumers. I'll remember this when I get into PC gaming.
Why should I verify a singleplayer non-online game with the goddamn internet? DRM like that needs to die.
Pirates will pirate no matter what, but treat the consumers poorly and you'll be looking at the pirates of the future.
Wanna see bad DRM
Try owning over 400 games on Xbox then losing wifi for about a month and realizing that Xbox freaks out once you start attempting to play games you own . Even from the account that owns them. I’ve tried over 200 of my games and they mostly say “game needs to finish downloading “. don’t start up at all or will say “you need to be online” 🤦🏽♂️
Yep. I'd say internet and gaming goes hand and hand these days. It's pretty much required for anything 2013 and forward.
Its the same thing if you own physical playing on the xbox
@@Aesthetic626 yep because it's like only 10% on disc rest downloaded
U have to set ur xbox to home to play offline.
@@XeqtrM1 same with ps5. Physical doesn't exist anymore.
*Rich:* Shareholders don't like us.
*Gamers:* Tell us something we *DON'T* know!
And that is why I have no issue with people pirating games with Denuvo. In fact, I’ll even say it’s morally correct!
It's never is , not legal
I would only say it's morally justifiable only after purchasing the DRM version of the product.
@@michaelmayers3622 Just because something's the law doesn't make it the right way.
Nothing better than doing things legally.
Better to demand more on the companies that do this bs
Entice pirates to crack it and annoy legitimate customers.
It's the name of the game.
The only DRM I'm okay with is a one time use code that comes with a pc game that allows you to download the game directly from Steam or wherever. Any additional DRM is not needed and just uses up machine resources at best and locks you out if a server goes down at worst.
Steam is drm, its not good either.
I don't even like that. If i have a physical disk i should not need to use a input key to activate a game it should be on that disk. This is why buying games on GOG is superior no DRM and you don't have to reenter a key every time you change computer with the game you can just boot up the game and play it as it should be
I don’t condone pirating nor do I want to sway your hand but when you pirate, you don’t have sign in and deal with a headache. All you need to do is install and run!
Long live physical media.
I still prefer a physical copy. Especially when you pay the same amount for a digital download.
Exactly. Plus it has the added advantage of being something you can physically put in the console to play which becomes moot if your digital copy gets corrupted and the host/developer goes under. DRM will always drive the pirates to pirate just as work drives workers to work.
I prefer digital because I wouldn't deal with the hassle on always putting a disc in a plastic box
Digital has already pretty much won which means we've all lost. Every game pretty much has to update before you can play it which means that they are entirely dependent in that infrastructure. Which won't always exist. They are literally putting a time limit on these games.
Piracy, on the other hand,. . . Well those copies just work.
@@sypherthe297th2 Yeah, but we know that most people had put themselves between a rock and a hard place with that decision.
@@killertruth186 Exactly. Thats why, in my opinion, gamers have already lost. A brand new game should be playable off disc right out of the case but they've found a way to force our hand by making them utterly unplayable without connecting to the Internet and updating first.
Like Gaban said.
To avoid Piracy, Give people a better service.
But that's not even true
Ps4 and ps5 discs can be installed and played without ever connecting to the internet. I finished tales of arise without ever updating. Switch cartridges that are complete also play completely offline
try it with far cry 6 bro.
under a gig of the game is on the disc and rest u gotta dl.
that one may be an exception but the other 12 physical ps5 games have worked completely offline. It's still a thing . Demons souls also works completely offline and ratchet and clank just with some framerate issues the patch fixes
@@alextracythaxton5796 for the most part the ps5 is can function completely offline. I keep mine offline a lot to test all my physical games and 9/10 they function offline and have a complete build on disc. Obviously there are exceptions
@@guitarpro985 i hope they keep it that way
In other news the floor is made of floor.
In other news, water is wet.
The walls are made of wood
This cbomb issue was fixed though and cartridge games are safe if you can swap out cart batteries but switch is the only system I buy physical now
Switch, Wii, Wii U, PS3 and 360 I still buy physical games for. All other consoles like the PS4 and Xbox one I but digital. I used to buy physical on PS4 but then switched
Ps3 cbomb was fixed?
1. only ps4 cbomb got fixed, it remains an issue to ps3 except if you jailbreak it.
2. only got fixed because the community complain about it, in proper time, right when they intended to shut down ps3, psp and vita servers, probably fixing the cbomb on the ps4 was a PR stunt.
@@retrobrian1 nope
@@retrobrian1 god, I wish
I hope one day we will officially kill of DRM. And we could have more value and ownership with our games.
Stop supporting companies who use DRM. Simple solution but gamers are too obsessed with their medal of duty games to try games that aren't made by AAA developers who take advantage of them.
If you don't own the physical copy you're basically renting from the publisher
And u can resell it at any point as well
I have a PS5 and I've never connected it online. I have 120 PS4 games and 5 PS5 games. My games play just fine.
this is why I love GOG. just wish they were doing better...
Same here.

There was a story going a few years ago that the MAC OS port of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was unplayable due to SecuROM drm and the original porting company essentially not "existing" anymore. I do not know if that's the case anymore.
There was a MacOS port of Revengeance???
@@coatlessali Yeah, it was by a group called TransGaming at time. Apparently they were known for porting Windows games to the Mac OS. Would have posted a link to an article, but I'm guessing CZcams doesn't like it when I comment with links.
@@KreuzDrache I did remembered Halo being on the Mac OS. Although Morrowind through OpenMW can be played on MacOS. But I strongly recommend and consider getting the game legit way.
Rich keeps saying physical games are licenses, which just isnt true, especially because the CBomb issue on the PS4/PS5 is fixed. The vast majority of Switch and Playstation games can be installed completely offline, with the only exceptions being games that say "download required" on the box...
He is right about it you people just want to set up here and deny it the developers make it where you need to download the other half of the game in order to play some developers don’t do that but that is coming a rare thing I find it to be be but that’s how Business is That’s what people are saying so
The whole purpose of a physical copy is to grant you full access to what’s on the format, I can still plug in my older game consoles and still play them to this day, we didn’t have to connect to the internet back then and download updates and patches, just think if companies would start releasing physical games in a complete format with no online requirement, no bugs and with only a few minor glitches that don’t halt or crash your game progress. We could still technically own them and keep playing them years down the road.
When we say physical media is ownership, what we’re really saying is, physical copies allow you to keep playing the game years down the road.
@@optimusN64 True but i do understand some patches(not like day one or cyberpunk stuff)Especially pc so many different parts used and drivers,and games arent few mb or less anymore.
@@optimusN64 yes I totally agree with you on that it’s just sadly today’s world in coming into that you dont have ownership over it just have the rights to play it once the developers decide to stop it they can some games already had it happen to them
It is true. Your game is on the code of that disc. Look at far cry 6 for an example. Once you console reads the disc , the data is uploaded to the cloud and there's is your game. It doesn't matter if your game is "physical or digital its digital now.
I just legally bought Red Dead 2 to play on my PC. I start the game and the Rockstar installer forces itself into my computer. So then I requested a refund from steam, went to BitTorrent and found myself a nice clean copy of a game. I was more than willing to buy the game as long as the agreement was that I paid for the game and the company who sold me the game left it at that. Not sure how this is a good business plan for the long run since I was a paying customer and now I refuse to buy anything from Rockstar ever again. Don't they understand that people like me want to pay them and I'm more than capable of finding the game without paying them?
This needs to get figured out if we're buying games digitally we need to be able to Forever own them.. Im glad that Microsoft is taking time to preserve their classics
Or stick to physical media would be the smart move. Buying digital is a trap especially as these corporations get greedier and greedier
@@joefawley9264 I live out in the middle of the country and it takes me 30 minutes to drive to the closest town let alone it takes me an hour to drive to my local GameStop it's a lot easier to buy digital
When you sails the high seas or buy via GOG you always own your games
GOG is extremely underrated. I always go there first, if it's not on GOG then I check Steam, if it's not on Steam then I don't buy it.
@@crystalwater505 extactly same here
Arrrg
I have a copy of Lord of the rings battle for middle earth 2, and it have a glitch that trigger and think is a pirate version.
So I have to get a pirate version to be able to play it.
Ironic
I hate DRM with every fibre of my being, along with the people who make it.
Not so much with games, as I'm too blind to play mainstream games, but I do all that I can to nuke DRM with Kindle book, DVDs, and CDS, but I consider this streaming culture to be grabage wasting away inside of a fire dumpster and I will support dvds and cds until the bitter end.
okay, you hate ppl earning a living? I hate drm as well but not thed ppl just earning a living bro. funny how ppl think their opimion means anything to anybody lol.
Sounds like a boomer who's stuck on the 90s
I can understand disliking DRM on games since it impacts performance but why do you have a problem with it in movies, music and e-books? Sounds to me that you just want to steal everything.
I never used to pirate but ever since DRM was so prevalent pirating has become much more attractive.
I sometimes wonder if DRM is left in games as malware because after a game has been cracked and pirated, why else keep drm in it? Besides for detecting cheating/hacking in online gaming I see no other reason for it, especially for single player only games.
on the ps4ps5 & switch physical games have no drm, i happy people talk about this issue
For someone that is advocating DRM is the future,(You are just leasing the game) is sure is wanting a Physical Copy for yourself.......
Seriously it doesn’t not matter due to covid crap
It doesn't matter if its physical or not at the end of the day your game is a code uploaded to the cloud and requires internet to play them.
@@Aesthetic626 false. The majority of physical Switch and PS4/5 games work without internet.

Limited editions. Collector's editions.
Original releases that can't be altered via sensitive woke sjw political correctness. These are just some of the reasons physical media is still relevant & thriving. Recent example: Metroid Dread Collector's Edition sold out within minutes of announcement. The reality is physical media is not dying or going anywhere anytime soon.
Exactly. You only have to visit a second hand VG retailer to see just how low their stock *isn't*. I'm afraid Rich is high if he thinks they're going anywhere.
Honestly true. Thats the only reason boomers still get physical for those collectors editions.
The reason why I basically stopped collecting games and turned into a gamer that plays the games in the here and now and treats any modern game as a disposable item. Emulation is the only way to ensure you keep access to games after DRM/Licenses are revoked.
The line between Style and Function can be very slim
Rich tomorrow: I yell at clouds. Let's get into it.
I've long switched to gog as my main game launcher, you don't even need it open to activate your games. Imagine that
Pirated doom eternal is amazeballs.
what is the differance between it and retail? I have it pirated as well, just curious?
Mostly agree on physical games being worse, except with Nintendo. For many reasons. Since the switch has very little amount of space, buying the physical game is cheaper in the long run (1), but IT'S CHEAPER ANYWAY(2): The prices on the Nintendo eshop for most games are usually ABSURD. Quite often you can buy a digital game on the Nintendo eshop for 60 bucks, or for 45 bucks on Amazon., physical. I mean, wtf.
Then, Nintendo is not reliable (3). I have bought Ocarina of times WAY TOO MANY TIMES. When I got it on wii, I should have kept it on wiiu. Well, I didn't. In fact, I lost my entire library of digital games for wii, and I had jewels.
Nintendo is just not to be trusted when it comes to this topic. I hope that changes, but I won't believe it if I don't see it.
And finally, I like being able to sell the games after some years (4), I always can get some of my money back if I need it.
The prices for all digital games be it Xbox playstation or Nintendo are always extortion, and you losing your library of games is your fault lol
Another person bashing Nintendo with no actual proper reasoning lol
@@dannymorrow6024 Xbox has the gamepass and playstation makes awesome offers on sales. Often as good or better than steam.
Nintendo is something entirely different. Only ignorance or fanboyis explain not being able to see it.
@@dannymorrow6024 Also, losing my library wasn't my fault. I don't know if you are 12 or something, but the wii library wasn't transferred. For anyone. It was lost by everyone. And many of those games were locked there, there's not other versions nor any other way to get them.
Lost forever.
And no, it's not the same on other platforms. Other platforms transfer your games to the next console, saved on your account. And I have the same account now that I had back then. So, no. Nintendo just screwed us.
Again.
Forcing online connections for DRM will severely limit the mobility of the Steam deck if things don't change. If that is the case I'll be forced to pirate games even though I own them in my library.
It's ironic how Denuvo , which is meant to combat piracy, drives MORE people to piracy. Lol.
yoooooooooooooooooooo i didnt think of that deck issue. woah
Whenever a company files for bankruptcy, they liquidate their stuff to pay the debt.
Your videos are starting to get that old rtu feel to them again with the great inros
I will always go the physical way, no matter what. I'd rather actually have the product in my hands than.. well, nothing. Lol, but I definitely do agree, DMR is trash.
I will always go digital no matter what. I rather have everything stored in an ssd than to have a physical plastic box thats has nothing but a code to unlock your game through the cloud.
Same! Plus the boxes look nice on the shelves
@Laserdisc Physical is not dead, nor will it ever be. Without getting into the whole argument, it basically just comes down to having the nice boxes and whatnot, lol. I know you can't realistically keep discs anymore, it's more like ssds and hard drives nowadays.
same i like my collection and while i don't know how things will turn out for the future of physical media im going to enjoy them while i can
RIP to anyone who tries to play Poker Night 2 on Steam!
I will not buy a game that has Denuvo. I don't care how much I might want it - this is a red line that I will not cross. There are more games out there than I will ever have time to play, so I see no reason to put up with that crap. I buy almost all of my games on GOG. I download and back up the offline installer to preserve the games for the future in case GOG suddenly vanishes one day. I've been playing games since the late 1970s, and I still play games from way back then. Many years in the future when I'm rotting away in a retirement home, I might want to play a game that I bought in 2021. If the game has DRM and always-online requirements, that might not be possible, as the servers associated with the game might be long gone. I don't want to buy something and then lose access to it in a few years. If gamers would simply boycott games that have Denuvo or other similar annoyances, the bean counters would take notice and DRM would go away.
Rich the Cbomb problem was fixed by Sony. You can play all your games with no drm on your PlayStation console as long as you take care of the hardware, all games will work for ever..
Should have had the Polynesian Spa in that thumbnail
Rich: I donate to EMPRESS under the name "Banana Man". Let's get into it.
pretty much the only benefit now is the possibility of trading it and reselling, and they have tried to curve that with included code stuff that the second hand market will miss out if you redeemed it.
I think the only reason someone would have to own 'physical copies' now is to have the game room full of little trinkets... it's just like collecting anything else now. It's just there to fill up a shelf and look cool more than anything...
My console doesn't even go online, so I'm fairly sure my collection of physical games (whether cartridge or cd/dvd) will always be mine & will always work.
The games we own now may not be seen as ours, but the files we download cannot be taken away. Just make backups of backups, the community will create a patch to bypass any DRM. We made our purchases legally, therefore we should own them indefinitely.
AMEN
Windows update is garbage.
3 things in life that we know are garbade: DRM, Windows Updates and Apple trying to come with ridiculous products ( **cough cough** the cloth)
In other news, boiling water is hot.
Denuvo is urrgh, time and time again DRM proves to only hinder legitimate paying consumers, and is a minor inconveniance at worst for copyright infringement. Its kind of like fitting a building alarm to satisfy insurance criteria even though police dont respond to them. I have also had widevine and playready DRM cause problems as well.
Rich tomorrow: "Carlos and Turkey are the most unhackable birds in the world. Let's get into it "
For thoses having problems with games under Denuvo with Alder Lake processor with ASUS Motherboard, you can go under Advanced settings in the bios, CPU and set "Active Efficient Core" to 0 .
Several games have been delisted and rendered unplayable not because the publisher wanted to, but because the DRM owner refused to extend the contract and the source code collapsed with it removed.
You should also think about the security risk when using something to remove DRM or copy protection. Because in the background also credentials could be send, installing other malware or remote access trojans to take control of your system. If you aren't monitoring network traffic, spawning processes,..
Yeah, one of the more common ways people end up with malware.
Copy Protection? like what's in the HDMI cables? yeah just run those through a splitter literally that's it, so much for protecting 4k video. HDCP is honestly fucking stupid
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena More intrusive, because it are hidden drivers, that are monitoring all running processes,scripts,... that are running or trying to access the game executables. But everything can be bypassed. Nothing is 100% proof.
GFWL was a nightmare lol. Probably the worst form of DRM I've ever had to experience.
3:49 - WHY DOES P4 GOLDEN HAVE DRM?!! It's a PS Vita game from 2012 for crying out loud!
Because it is sacred and must be protected. I think we should hire a defense force just for that game
I think it should speak volumes when a company removes Denuvo from their games a little while after release. DRM sucks. I like that game companies can patch out bugs and such, but the problem is, most physical games ship in an unplayable state, or the latest version of the firmware on your console won't let you launch the game without updating it. I usually buy physical games because I can get them cheaper than MSRP if it's on a console. Otherwise, I usually buy games on sale on steam, and there aren't a lot of new games that come out that I'm interested in... so... whatever. This is why I'm a proponent of modding your systems and making your own backups. Until these companies decide to take down sites that would back up the updates/DLC (still requiring you to have your own copy of the game) or they decide to (for some reason) take down custom firmwares for dead systems that were installed by modding, I have no issues with circumventing their nonsense. It does suck that your entire gaming collection with the 360 onward could become unplayable.
Netflix was a good idea when it was 7.99 but now it’s almost 20 bucks a month. Piracy is king at the end of the day
Yes, yes it is. Especially Denuvo. Commented before the video started and lol its about Denuvo!
Company: I like money.
Companies should just ignore the piracy side of things, People who want a game illegally are going to get it regardless of repercussions (if any). Companies that create this DRM are are adding to game inflation there's no way it isn't if a company is spending millions of dollars to have this implemented.

I'd probably game more on PC if it weren't for issues like this which is probably why I stuck to console gaming all these years. But even those systems have their own form of DRM in some capacity so I can't win either way.
After Sony fixed the PS5 and PS4 CBOMB issue, the PlayStation physical game discs contain the full games playable offline (not a license code to download) so you can play these games in the future which is a step forward towards game preservation.
Wait did they fix it on the ps5 too? I thought it was only on the ps4
I don’t understand how this was a problem at all why limit the user at all for playing a disc
@@speed3414 Yeah the CBOMB issue is fully fixed on both PS5 and PS4 now
@@quatjohn4375, You can play digital games you bought in your library even if the CMOS battery dies, and earn trophies without a date and time. I'm talking about physical games if for some theoretical reason our world becomes like The Last of Us world where an apocalypse happens and servers, online stores, data centers around the world shut down, you can still play your PS4 and PS5 physical copy games on your PS5 (and PS4 for PS4 games).
@@fadelalturki5360 I’m saying why did they ever limit users playing a disc.
Many people have said it before, and many people will say it again, but piracy is a service issue. Good policies and keeping your games available will do more to curb piracy than any DRM will.
So i just ordered an i9 12900k and ddr5 platform, i read intels new architecture is having issue with it am i screwed? Or will intel fix it
DRM needs to have a death date.
If you put DRM on your game, the DRM goes ineffective after so many years, if the game is not updated.
Imma be real close to wearing an eyepatch.
Over 400 dollars worth of games held hostage to internet connection after a hurricane. Some BS
There are so many games out there that I mostly skip games with Denuvo in them. Not being able to play a game your purchased though.... that's bad.
All DRM does is punish honest customers and embolden pirates because their cracked copy which they did not pay a cent for runs faster.
Quote: "I like 'MONEY'". -Mr. Krabs-
Some people are just old school and like to see physical media on their shelf.
How long do you think the Xbox series X and PS five generation will last? I think 10 years due to this crazy Globo chips shortage going on. What do you think rich?
Scalpers are unironically extending the lives of the PS4 and X1
this is a big reason why a lot of people are bringing out patches for old physical pc games, Because of DRM, for example I bought a physical copy of Sega Rally Revo for PC a while back and it has a form of DRM known as securom which is unsupported in Windows 10, which makes the main executable of the game unusable, the only way you could play the game was by using the SSE executable
If a game I own on steam comes to Gog I always buy it there because then I have a lot less problems with the game because the DRM is stripped out in GOG
Fortunately a lot games I want/have are fully on the disc. But still lots of them are digital games that you put a disc in for.
If no one buys games with drm, they quit that crap, but foolish people is a growing trend. Me... I wouldn't ever buy any game using DRM.
Ironically, this encourages piracy rather than preventing it.
