minus-squareLembot_0002 ( Lembot_0002@lemm.ee ) linkfedilinkarrow-up11·1 year ago Along comes Doom and they just couldn’t resist Denuvo. The important question is whether we, players, could resist Denuvo. Most of us fail in even more obvious shit-showeling.

Either most people play on Game Pass, think the game is too expensive, don’t have raytracing compatible hardware or don’t like Denuvo. Whatever it is, the game doesn’t seem to be doing so great.
minus-squarePoopfeast420 ( Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de ) linkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 year agoEternal had Denuvo, but it was removed a year ago, so it probably doesn’t have to do anything with the lower numbers on Steam. My guess is mainly price and RT.
