Please remove Denuvo completely from the game or allow us to choose between a DRM and DRM-free version of NFS Heat, it lowers down the framerate, causes some freezes and other stuff.

As an old school gamer (80's baby), I never agreed with the 'always online' setup that console games are switching to now. Why? Because despite to fact that you spent real money to buy a game, you never really own the game.In short, the game is yours for as long as the servers remain active. When the servers are shutdown, in which EA is notorious for, there goes all the money you invested in the game..

@MEGAF1UX People who dont have the money or just usually pirate games wont pay for them anyway. So this doesnt change much. Its the customer service you provide that matters and gives you the most profit, not the measures you take to slow crackers. If you do an exceptional game you will make a lot regardless if its cracked or not(as in the case of CDPR games for example). Id have a developer aim for peak performance than insecurely try to protect their game. That shows confidence in their creation after all so stop being such a fanboy little wuss. I pay for all my games and i dont want this * in them. Its like ordering a sandwich and getting a security guard come and watch you eat it. You sound like a guy who just bought his first game and now youre gonna defending it from all of the injustice in the world as if its your own child. Its a game after all, not to mention from a greedy publisher such as ea. Ghost is a nice studio but they are under that umbrella so yeah

@Prohorov_Ilja I had a feeling that NFS Heat was gonna have Denuvo... 😞

Both NFS 2015 and NFS Payback also had Denuvo, so I am not surprised that NFS Heat has it as well.

I agree that Denuvo needs to go.

For the reasons stated above, along with that the game requires a online connection to the Denuvo servers to authenticate the game to its servers. Meaning the game really can't be played offline.

I would had made a thread about Denuvo months ago, but I was so busy with other things that I didn't make one.

CD Projekt Red thinks otherwise.

Their upcoming game Cyberpunk 2077 will be DRM-free and people are overwhelmingly happy about it having no DRM such as Denuvo.

Simply by having an argument, you say this is toxic. That's so funny! LOL 😃

As it's quite clear you don't want an argument, I'll just agree to disagree.

if anything its YOU who doesnt understand. they STILL havent cracked mk 11 because of this protection. its an insurance policy, IF it does get defeated then they dont pay for it. dont know about the rest of you but my computer can handle the less than 1% overhead it uses.

Did you even read my second reply in this thread?

The reply that talks about Denuvo and why it's useless and hurts the consumer?

If you're not gonna read that, then I'm just wasting my time arguing with someone who doesn't read my arguments.

Why is it that people are happy that Cyberpunk 2077 will be DRM-free and people like the original poster are upset that NFS Heat has Denuvo? Care to tell me?

NFS Heat was just released yesterday, so I highly doubt that anyone has the game pirated right now.

I have Origin Access Premier, so I'm currently playing NFS Heat legally. But I'm still complaining about Denuvo making games online-only and hurting game performance.

you can play naive all you want, people cheer on cdpr nomatter what they do (like being a parasitic game shop). why WOULDNT people be stoked to steal their game on day 1 because its completely unprotected? me personally im all for them making ALL games online only, taking peoples CID and SS#s and then banning them for life from all online games if they get caught cheating. it makes for better games FOR GAMERS.
