Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Thank you for the writeup. Even if theres downvotes piling from people (I mean I guess they think you're in favor of DRM when you're mostly indifferent and see its use). Between the back and forth I learned quite a bit about Denuvo and how DRMs work. And while it doesn't make me like DRM any more its interesting to see how and why things work the way they do. I don't see a reason why games shouldn't just patch out DRM after the launch window. I think if you want to avoid a simple copy paste way where friends just send each other a copy of the game there can be a lot more primitive options later on. And the pirate copy is mostly already out there later on

Tbf, most people probably haven't even read my post in it's entirety. So I don't really care about the downvotes. Just tell me I poked into another lemmy hornets nest lol.

I don’t see a reason why games shouldn’t just patch out DRM after the launch window.

Sure, that's a fine option. I think some games even did that after a while because there's just no need for it at that point.
