The official Steam page for Deep Silver and Starbreeze’s PAYDAY 3 game has been updated to show the use of this ever-controversial third-party DRM.

Well that’s another game I won’t be buying. If it gets cracked I might try it, but I won’t buy anything with denuvo out of principle.
Filthy console player here, with a genuine question. What’s so especially bad about denuvo? I mean, compared to other DRM, which Are also shitty by principle of being DRM.
Not even factoring in killing any sort of mod support (prob not the biggest concern for Payday, but in a general sense it matters) Denuvo is notorious for hurting performance, but the makers aren’t really incentivized to optimize anything because gamers aren’t their customers. The publishers pay the cost to use it. The gamers just feel the cost. Especially if the game is a PC port that already has optimization issues.

Denuvo breaks mod support? That would be a big deal, the modding community in payday 2 is pretty huge.
Well that sucks. Thanks for informing me.
If you try to play offline it’s also been the one that has been the most problematic for me over other DRMs. And if playing on Linux like the Steam Deck and trying out different proton versions to see what runs best you can into the daily device activation limi and lock you out.

It’s a DRM that gets in your way and reminds you that the pirate version is superior.
