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.

    Denuvo has become a very strong indicator to me that not the game devs are calling the shots during development, but the Excel-sheet-business-suit-monkeys are.

    Only some business-fool would look at a proposal to buy that piece of performance-guzzling crap and go “Hey, then everyone who’d be a pirate otherwise will buy my product and spend money in muh cash shop, that’s totally worth the investment”, ignoring the immense drawbacks for paying costumers.

    especially in a frickin’ coop-shooter where piracy will never be as big of a deal because people want to play together with others on your frickin’ servers anyway…

      Yeah, I don’t get it – the game is essentially online-only (not sure if you can play with bot teammates like the previous titles, but that wasn’t too enjoyable anyway). Why pay for Denuvo as well unless you’re out of touch?
