Grargar: Denuvo is sued for using pirated software? Oh, the irony...
Totally.
The bigger irony is when players, for example, complain about the lofty price of a game (largely the vastly more expensive Triple AAA variants, or similarly-priced ones) and the splicing up of everything into DLC chunks, where you are charged a far costlier piece by piece per value, the usual defenders will be all yelling like, you should stop being a cheapskate, pay up the full cost, and the developers need to eat (but you don't?).. etc..
However, it's okay when developers desire the same thing! (ha!) Denuvo is in trouble because they found the enterprise license (for Vmprotect) too expensive (Hey, don't their fellow software developers need to eat too!), and want to pay the minimum they can get away with. Double standards, especially coming from someone with a Pro-DRM/Profit stance.
