Everyone calling out Denuvo for being a laggy mess, rejoice! Denuvo is being hurt bad the bad PR enough to launch a full on propaganda war. One such weapon in their arsenal: Giving "trusted" outlets access to both the unDRM and the DRM copies of the game.

Now for anyone who knows game's journalism, you do not bite the hand that feeds you. Your income revolves around being one of the first to the punch when it comes to a review and the only way to be first is to ensure studios like you enough to give you early access copies.

Does anyone here think these outlets are going to say that Denuvo is slow? Not if they ever want that kind of access again! "Trusted" is right. "Trusted" to be in Denuvo's pocket.

Gamer 1: Dude, if you preorder the collectors digital bundle, you get Denuvo+ for free.

Gamer 2: you know I preorder everything, but it doesn’t matter. I have denuvo ultra+. That way I have denuvo on games that do not normally have it.

Ad: A nerd walks up to his waifu pillow and asks, “you want the D don’t you?” Then you hear him speaking to himself in a high pitch voice pretending to be the waifu, “Please Senpai, I NEED the D right now!” Then he put a denuvo patch on the pillow.

This comment reads like a deconstructionist modern art piece.

I'm not sure if I should upvote because I laugh or downvote because I don't get it and it seems to make no sense.
