Attached: 1 image #Ubisoft just added Denuvo to #AssassinsCreedMirage via a day-1 patch a few minutes ago. AFTER all the major reviews went online. Sincerely: Fuck off.

    Why the hell would they add the DRM after release when the game is already cracked before the DRM was added? I can never understand this logic.

      I don't know how the launch went but these days the release version of games is usually a buggy mess with half the content stripped out of it so they can sell it later as DLC or a season pass

      Before and on release date, most sales are to a minority of highly engaged gamers that then create reviews and hype. Ubisoft needs that hype as they know the majority of the profit they will make is from sales after the release when the general public reads those reviews and then decide to spend their dollar on the game because the reviews were good. Also the majority of the general public won't pirate anyway…

        But once it's out it's out. I at least understand the logic of DRM from launch because it delays cracks, but once you've released without DRM it's out there lol.
