Saw a propaganda piece like that a few days ago on Ars Technica. The comments there were pretty much the same as here, "Ah yes, the classic non-answer of saying BS until the person forgets what they asked", in regards to them ignoring the many games' sudden CPU spikes and frame drops caused by denuvo

hard no for me. it is retarded for a product you buy to dictate how you use it
Try being a e release engineer and having to use it. It's awful. You have to configure your nodes to connect to their servers and then wait for the "magic". Quite often it would time out and this was for a mega video game studio. Denovo is trash.
I still remember Sony rootkiting my PC and fucking up DVD play back
Is there a way to tell if a game is using this crap?
EDIT 3: Another auto-updated list of games to avoid that use Denuvo
EDIT: found this list, will leave it here in case someone needs it. (REPORTED TO BE OUTDATED)
EDIT 2: also as they pointed out in the comments (for Steam users) this list is more updated, and if you follow it, it shows you if a game uses denuvo or not when you are browsing a game's store page.
For steam, there is also this curator that marks it.
That's cool but you can't search through it and the way the list is displayed makes it so there is no game title in text so Ctrl+F isn't possible either. Am I missing something?
No, you're not. It's for whenever you're browsing games on steam, like the discovery queue or when there's a big sale, it will show up before the description if it has, like this.
Gamer 1: Dude, if you preorder the collectors digital bundle, you get Denuvo+ for free.
Gamer 2: you know I preorder everything, but it doesn’t matter. I have denuvo ultra+. That way I have denuvo on games that do not normally have it.
Ad: A nerd walks up to his waifu pillow and asks, “you want the D don’t you?” Then you hear him speaking to himself in a high pitch voice pretending to be the waifu, “Please Senpai, I NEED the D right now!” Then he put a denuvo patch on the pillow.
This comment reads like a deconstructionist modern art piece.
