Denuvo announced Denuvo SecureDLC to protect DLC

By - | Views: 26,104

Denuvo is not exactly something any gamer I've ever seen be happy about and now it's growing and will likely appear in more games, with the announcement of Denuvo SecureDLC.

Irdeto said in the press release it's "the first of its kind in the gaming market and provides opportunities to extend the revenue tail for developers and publishers past the initial launch window".

The main target here appears to be free to play games that offer up DLC and micro-transactions to unlock various features, cosmetics and so on with SecureDLC being positioned to protect against piracy there. So Irdeto are hoping that developers will pick SecureDLC to deal with it apparently becoming "easy to bypass the existing barriers that try to secure DLCs on popular gaming platforms like Steam and Epic" as they found "players can automatically generate and install programs that access downloadable content without paying for it".

According to Reinhard Blaukovitsch, Managing Director at Denuvo by Irdeto, the new technology is already being successfully used with the current Denuvo Anti-Tamper clients: “Denuvo has become a one-stop shop for game developers to ensure the safety of their game against cheating, tampering, and piracy and to protect the gaming experience. Our current clients, big and small, are ecstatic with the results and we are happy to help them maximize revenue and also enable new business models for these games they spent so much effort building.”

Quoting: Appelsin...faff around with downloading from torrent sites, applying the cracks and workarounds for online features (if the get access to online at all).

The repacking scene has come a long way since then. There's now reliable repacks which include all of the modifications and cracks necessary to go online with other users of the same software, complete with installers!

Quoting: AppelsinTo be honest, I don't think it's even about piracy at all at this point. It's about having control over the games.

Agreed. The EU Piracy Displacement Study didn't support the publishers' claims so now they want 100% control over the software you spend your money on.

Good news would be - Denuvo announced bankruptcy and end of their operation. Anything else from them is bad news.

No DRM games for me. And no pirated ones either. Glad there's shops that only sell games that comply with those requirements...
