Capcom adds Denuvo to Street Fighter 6 three days before release

Street Fighter 6 has been available for pre-order on Steam for a while. However, yesterday, Capcom updated the game’s page, revealing that this new fighting game will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.

Maybe I just don't know but what is so negative about this. Does it affect console games at all?

[rippermcrip]

If it is incorrectly used, it can. But this rarely occurs. Mostly people cry about it for no reason. Slippery slope arguments like what if they shut their servers down and you can't play your games any more. Okay? Same goes for Steam, Playstation, Xbox, any other digital marketplace.

I could be way off here... but my understanding is denuvo drm on PC is total balls and eats cpu. Denuvo anti-cheat is more benign. I have not really had much issue myself as a PC player but I don't usually buy my games right at release so I may be getting patched versions that play nicer than the release date versions.

@got_dam

That is the "rarely occurs" I was referring to. That happens if the developer implements it incorrectly. This has rarely happened and it usually is patched when it does occur.

Alright guys/girls?

I see. I had always just thought of it as an anti piracy thing that's why I never understood what the big deal was. But if it's eating up some pc performance that kinda blows you'd think there'd be a better way around it.

I dabbled in pc gaming a hair with Sim city , commandos , but I'm talking early 2000 2004 5ish. I messed with steam for atom rpg and encased but never seemed to have an issue but they weren't particularly demanding games if they had that on there.

It's anti-piracy/anti-cheat DRM software.

It's specific to PC and my understanding is it can effect the performance of games.

[Bobertt]

It hinders performance and usually gets cracked quickly so it's not even worth the performance hit.

Damn that sucks

Capcom doesn't quit their obnoxiousness for a moment
