      @gameragodzilla Basically the pirates cracked it so well that they ended up just saying fuck it.

      @gameragodzilla Whats more the thing is Denuvo cracks have legit lost a fair bit of sales in previous instances of games with Denuvo being cracked, so they're probably concerned they'll lose money on it, so they're trying (probably successfully) to offset that by just removing it.  Of course, it wouldn't be a concern if it wasn't in there to begin with.

      @gameragodzilla (Except when they let games with DRM like Master of Orion 4 on GOG)

      @gameragodzilla A better example is probably Flying Wild Hog.  They made a big deal out of trusting the gaming community enough not to DRM Shadow Warrior 2 in their interviews around release.

      @gameragodzilla Yeah, and I'm not familiar with the method they've protected the executable file but if its not some form of DRM I'm a heterosexual llama named Jim.

      @gameragodzilla "50% DRM free" is how they'd weasel around it and we both know it but its breaking the spirit if not the letter of the promise. I mean that's how I'd characterize the regional pricing thing too.  Breaking the spirit if not the letter of their promise. "That's not real money, GOG!" And I mean, as I've said to others elsewhere, I actually give a shi…

      @nerthos They've introduced and gone back on regional pricing almost as many times as my wife gets her clothes off around me, despite being so originally advertising against it they hat hit piece ads against GamersGate for it.

      @nerthos Moreover, despite their DRM promises about games being DRM free, the multiplayer aspect of Master of Orion 4 requires third-party activation.

      @nerthos They had an attack ad against GamersGate because what GamersGate did was credit you store credit back for the regional difference.  "That's not real money!"

      And now they do literally the exact same thing.
