Piefed.social has 29 comments under this thread, 21 of those comments are about Denuvo with over half of them being a variation of the “Denuvo bad”. I get it, I don’t like Denuvo either, but do we really need a “This game has Denuvo so I’m not going to buy it” comment whenever a game with Denuvo is in the news. At this point it’s become another circlejerk. I thought we’re here because we love gaming but it feels like some people are just looking for an excuse to complain.
I can already see this not being well received (considering how popular hating on Denuvo is) so I’m going to save everyone some trouble. I don’t care about your need to defend your circlejerk in front of me. I know where I stand on Denuvo and to me that topic is a dead horse, I’m not going to beat it so I’m not going to respond. I might respond if the comment is about how it impacts the community here, but my stance on that is very simple. We’re intelligent people here, we know how to check whether a game has Denuvo or not, lettings others to the game has Denuvo is not some PSA and calling people the problem for buying a game with Denuvo hurts the community more than it helps.

Yes. As with all social injustice and corruption, we are ethically obligated to draw attention to it every time. Allowing corporate theft against consumers to be quietly accepted because you are more annoyed by the backlash than the theft makes you an accomplice.
I’m sure your coworkers really appreciate you telling them on every single payday that the capital owners are stealing their money. You wouldn’t want to be an accomplice to capitalism now would you.
I have to say that it has become almost impossible to discuss anything about Video Games on Lemmy.
If you mention a Video Game made by Nintendo, and that you like it -> Stop supporting Nintendo, they are bad.
If you mention a Denuvo Game, and that you like it -> Stop supporting them, they are bad.
You have a Problem with a game -> switch to Linux and it will fix all your problems.
And you should buy a steam deck, because GabeN and getting people addicted on gambling is cool. We’re not being hypocritical here.
I for one like both Nintendo and Valve, and the few Nintendo game discussions I read had as much obligatory “Nintendo bad” complaints as every Valve thread has obligatory “Valve bad” comments. I’m finding those complainers more obnoxious even, because at least Nintendo criticism usually sticks to posts already criticising Nintendo.
Hell, I’ll admit, I don’t care much for Nintendo now but I’m also not going to invade topics about Tomodachi Life to insist every Nintendo fan boycott it because of what they did to Garry’s Mod.

Don’t be an accomplice.
