Having said that however I can say that GOG was asked sometime in the last month or so in the forums "Does GOG consider Denuvo DRM?" to which JudasIscariot responded something to the effect of "Yes, GOG very definitely considers Denuvo to be DRM.". This is just what I recall reading previously online somewhere of which I have no reference for and so while it seems reasonable, people should treat it with a grain of salt unless someone has direct information that can be referenced specifically. In other words, whether there is a performance impact or not appears to be a matter of how close the developers of a game follow instructions. If this is indeed the case, and it seems reasonable, then if a game developer follows the instructions of how they are told to use Denuvo, then in theory there should not be any performance impact. It is something intended to not be used in inner loops of performance critical code paths, but in inconsequential codepaths that do not impact performance. What I have read is that the modifications that game developers make to their game where they insert Denuvo are supposed to be done in places in the game code which are not performance critical, specifically so that Denuvo does not have an impact on the game's performance. Just to be clear, don't include me in the "some of you" above as I haven't stated any opinion about that to date. He probably did with Inside before it got released for sale on gog.com.Īnyways I fully expect gog.com to use it as a means for them selling 100% Digital Rights Management (DRM) free video games in the future against Denuvo. I bet Judaliscariot is the gog.com employee who tests this stuff. I wonder if gog.com whenever they get a PC version of a video game that has Denuvo to remove Denuvo from it before selling it on gog.com if they will try some benchmarks on the Steam version and the 100% Digital Rights Management (DRM) free version to see what the performance loss is.Īll gog.com employees have a Steam account I'm sure. Johnathanamz: You know while some of you don't believe Denuvo causes performance loss.
