The official Steam page for Deep Silver and Starbreeze’s PAYDAY 3 game has been updated to show the use of this ever-controversial third-party DRM.

    That’s the thing, the game is already online only, why do they need anti piracy DRM on top of it?

      I think it may be more anti-cheat than anti-piracy, but Denuvo in particular can fuck itself

          IIRC payday 2 had glacially slow progression at launch. Now what if you could simply pay some (more) money to skip those boring early levels this time around?

              I looked into it some more and it seems there was a “shady” script you could use to grant yourself any piece of paid dlc you wanted, so The Money People probably asked how they could ensure that doesn’t happen again and just didn’t care about the drawbacks for regular people.

          The people that make money off of it’s monetization. I’ll have to assume they’ll have some sort of season pass.

          Oh believe me, people got hyphy in PD2 about mods and stuff, even HUDs and QOL mods got peoples’ hackles up.

        I don’t see any reason for denuvo to impose region restrictions and I hope that isn’t the case considering online stores already do this!
