Gamers Now Canceling Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Pre-orders Due To Denuvo

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 fans are now cancelling their pre-orders due to the incorporation of Denuvo in-game.

Gamers have had a decade of torture.

This, Stalker, and Avowed are the 3 games I'm really looking forward to but every time I hear Denuvo being in game it really is a disappointment. It's always going to result in some sort of performance and stability issues. The question is just how bad.

Yep every denuvo game needs a internet connection for some server out there in a basement and like you said there is always a cpu and or gpu usage spike bs.

Gog has shown we do not need all this drm and or online connection bs

Consoles: 30fps PC: Denuvo…This game should be a banger but i fear performance is going to be dreadful all round.

To be fair, and obviously it isn't ideal, but I also grabbed the console version of this a while back to play on the Series S. Locked at 30, and I really didn't think it felt bad to play. I think some games get away with it better than others, and the slower gameplay had here I think helped it.

Again, not ideal, but if they at least have the game at a locked 30 fps - no dips - it won't be a bad experience. That said, I do still expect more. At least for the PS5/Series X.

I think you and the internet once again forget stuff that happened before 2020 back in 2018 the first game launched in a horrific performance state so sadly these devs are bad at optimization.

Though ironic both games had 30fps caps on consoles 6 years later same framerate hazah next gen.

It's not coming to GoG, I take it. Support a small company, so they can get big enough to stick it to everyone. I would cancel too and stop using Steam.

Could have seen this coming. Honestly, the game's not even on my radar. I have the first one, and frankly, I feel they went overboard with the "realistic" thing. It's just too Dark Soulish in difficulty for my taste. I know a lot of people love it, but I'm certainly not its target audience.

[PRIMORDUS]

It took this long for gamers to call out Denuvo cancer. All preorders of PC games that come with Denuvo should be cancelled. That would send a message. GOG is the way, and all online game stores should follow their example of also keeping your games incase it gets removed. Yes I torrent but I would buy more knowing this would be across all game stores. 😎

Denuvo has been an issue for many years. I haven’t played on PC for over a decade and it was a problem back then and before. It’s always been looked down upon and talked about amongst gamers but devs keep using it.

Gamers complain but buy the products anyway.

People have been calling out Denuvo for, honestly, I don't even know how many years at this point. It feels like forever. I've seen countless conversations over the years on it. I've seen many people talking about buying a game to support the studio, but just torrenting and playing a cracked version of it.

Denuvo has never gotten a pass from PC gamers. Some people just deal with it because they just want to install a game and play it, but it always had people calling it out.
