The leaked logs are a gold mine of what potential publishers are going to use DRM on their stuff. Although nothing is set in stone, there are mails from SEGA to Denuvo claiming they want the solution for Unity3D, and another indie dev called Mad Viking Studio asked a similar question.

I intended to compile what I gather of these files into an informational post letting others know who will use Denuvo on their games.

Just figured out that HypeTrain's upcoming "The Wild Eight" will be DRM'd. Oh boy, all these files are really painting a pretty picture for Denuvo.
Sigh looking at that arstechnica article I get the feeling Dawn of War 3 will have Denuvo as an unwanted addition

Don't forget google was listed too.
I've nightmare visions of them trying to use this on mobile games or software/movies/music in the future.
I honestly have no idea what to say about this.

I'd be amazed if AAA Publishers are still using their software next year. Then again, they aren't really known for their good sense.
Why do we hate Denuvo specifically? I used to hate it more as well but then I kinda forgot the reason. How is it worse than other DRM?

Honest question, because I was tired of hearing about it again and again so I stopped following related news and forgot about it and forgot why I hated it.

Well ever since the "leak" as in, they didn't have their admin page of all things encrypted. Loads of emails they've got have been received. In one of them, appearently sends your personal info and data to them.

There's also this page: https://whyisdenuvobad.github.io/

As far as I am concerned it is worse than the other DRM simply because it is harder to remove. (and before somebody mention it, I know the difference between anti-tamper and DRM and Denuvo is most definitely a DRM)

For somebody like me who buy very little DRM'ed games and try to avoid like plaque those who aren't already cracked, it mean that out of the few games I would have considered buying on Steam I end up buying even less than usual. The last Denuvo protected game I bought was Metal Gear V, but at the time I had no clue it was using Denuvo. (Actually it was God Eater, but I got it refunded when I found it was using Denuvo)

Yes, I forgot about the other features, that make it much more than an anti-tamper. Thanks!

I also got MGS5, unfortunately I had to have that. I feel your pain :(

Seeing DarkSpore image set me in a bad mood, again :/

Anyhoe, another thing about denuvo is that you can't mod the game.
Apparently, if you do mod the game & denuvo just happens to do its thing & goes "Oh look, something's dodgy" you face being banned from that game & possibly steam/uplay/whatever until (if ever...) support sort things out.

I was surprised no one commented on that earlier hehe.
> 'Hello first of all i hate you so much because you don\'t let poor gamers play the games they want you have broken so many hearts, you are insane devils. '

Haha, some of those mails are hilarious.

Oh, btw

‘message’ => ‘Hello, I am the developer of ABZU game, thanks to your Anti-tamper system that prevented our game from getting cracked as of now. We have started working on another great game, and we plan to use Denuvo on that game as well. However, in our development process, we have come at a situation that we need our ABZU game\’s original executable files since our new game is based on that, could you send us the original executables of our game that we sent to you for implementing Denuvo?
lol...
