Denuvo Launches PR Campaign to Counter Negative Perception Among Gamers
The DRM software company seeks to improve its image, addressing performance concerns and emphasizing its role in protecting game revenues.
- Denuvo's product manager Andreas Ullmann is spearheading a public relations effort to address criticisms and misconceptions about the company's DRM software.
- The company argues that its anti-piracy solution helps game developers by protecting up to 20% of launch revenue, crucial for funding future game updates and iterations.
- Denuvo acknowledges isolated performance issues, such as with Tekken 7, but insists these cases are rare among the 60-70 games they protect annually.
- The company has opened a Discord server to foster direct communication with gamers, though it faces challenges moderating discussions in a hostile environment.
- Despite some publishers opting out of using Denuvo, the company remains focused on changing public perception and increasing transparency about its software's impact.
