Did starfield not have denuvo drm. I thought most Bethesda games did.

[–] Entropy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 76 points 2 years ago (2 children)

None of them do. It would fuck with people's ability to make mods for them.

[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 years ago (4 children)

True. I guess I thought that because "ghost wire Tokyo" and "redfall" do. But makes sense for a game like starfield to not

[–] Rayspekt@kbin.social 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

redfall

Best copyright protection for Redfall is that the game is shit and nobody wants to play it.

Which sucks, because Arkane was one of my favorite developers before the quality of their output fell off over the past five years. I loved the Dishonored games, and Prey is the single best immersive sim ever made. I was looking forward to DeathLoop, but it ended up being kinda meh, and Redfall has been so universally panned that I haven't even bothered to try it.

Yeah those games are only published by Bethesda, not developed. Their in house games never have DRM, unless you count steam.

[–] wolfshadowheart@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

Bethesda is a publisher as well which explains that

Those aren't BGS games. Bethesda that developes =/= bethesda that publishes. The latter likes DRM

Not necessairly (well, goodbye to Starfield Script Extender in that case). But I think it's more that Gamebryo can't integrate Denuvo lol

Bethesda Game Studios games don't have DRM like Denuvo. BGS and Bethesda Softworks are two different entities. ID, MachineGames and other Zenimax studios tend to have DRM, not BGS.

On the other hand, didn't Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched? So what would they even protect, 76?

No, Denuvo was first used in Sept. 2014 and Fallout 4 came out Nov. 2015.

“Didn't Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched?”

No, it came out a bit more than a year earlier.”

Ah. Well F4 didn't have it on launch

Steam/windows store drm it seems.
