GOG ridiculed Denuvo in connection with recent events
GOG, CD Projekt's digital store, took advantage of Denuvo's communications debacle over the weekend to highlight the main feature of its products: the absence of DRM. With a post on X, the store trolled the company that makes the infamous anti-hacking system.
Last week, Denuvo Software Solutions created a Discord server to try to communicate with players, allowing them to ask questions in a free channel that , however, quickly became filled with insults, threats and various obscenities, so much so that it forced the company to suddenly shut down the server in order to restore order and change strategy.
It's hard to say when Denuvo's Discord server will be up and running again, but in the meantime, GOG took the opportunity to get some publicity:
GOG is a store known for selling DRM-free games and providing easy-to-storage installation files. The post is clearly trolling, and a very mild one at that, but it does highlight some current issues in video game preservation, also related to the use of certain DRMs.
