Unless those numbers were sourced from Compulsion itself, they'd include pre-release keys (alpha backers have been playing the game for over a year now). Ghost of a Tale's Indiegogo campaign offered pre-release access also, but the tier was super expensive (€250 versus CAD$60) and the campaign much smaller (€47,800 versus CAD$334,754).

When did you activate it? And how did you get the extra copy?
Humble is still selling keys tied to the previous store sub, which includes a giftable copy of the game.
I think in RE3 there are no spiders, only in RE1 I believe.

I bought it about 8 hours ago and activated it inmediately.

I bought a copy about 3 hours ago, from the Humble store, and also got a giftable copy when I activated the key.

Well, they're making it easier to pick and choose what games to buy at least.

Yeah. It's just that more publishers are coming over Denuvo these days. There's several new Denuvo clients made in the past several month. At this rate it won't be that long until most PC publishers use Denuvo. EA & Square Enix are already 100% Denuvo for their big releases, Ubisoft is going for that route as well it seems. Oh, Bethesda too!
My itx mobo has a single ps/2 port. I was questioning the point of it, until I needed it

DXMD doesn't use Denuvo though, unless I've missed this rather big news...

At that point I might just go 100% GOG.
I've got 3 more planned purchases this year - No Man's Sky, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Civilization 6.
I know No Man's Sky won't use it. I fully expect Deus Ex to use it, and I hope Civ won't use it. But Civ is the first game I absolutely will have to buy no matter what.
After those games, I might sit out some other games and see how things develop. I can accept it in some cases, but I cannot accept the "deal with it" attitude that seem to surround it from all parties.
There's no EULA to sift through yet.

Yeah, Mankind Divided is rumored to use Denuvo. It's SE, afterall.
I wonder what'll happen when most AAA devs use Denuvo. It's not like we have a choice, right?
Except to go along with it or switch to the worst DRM of all, consoles.
I kind of expect it to at this point. I'd rather Denuvo not be a thing, but it might actually be good if the industry adopts it, as there would be serious problems and chasing to make sure compatibility is maintained through successive OS rather than lose routes of income like with securom.
Yet to have problems with a Denuvo game, but actually considering contacting the to ask some questions about possibilities if they go under / support has to end etc

Fuck. This would be my first Denuvo game then, I really hope it isn't as bad as people say then (performance issuesm etc.)
As for what choice we have, @texhno, we could always massively boycott games that use it, but there's no way I won't get DXMD
Got it pre-ordered since early this year and hype's been through the roof consistently since the reveal.It was worth a try

I still need to see game that has performance issues because of Denuvo.

I don't think it actually is. I've played both Dragon Age: Inquisition and MGSV on my computer, and I didn't find it to a problem like that. DA:I wasn't the best performing games and had some really long loading times, but that might just have been the game itself.
My problem with Denuvo is how more about further limitations in ownership, server depencies, their attempts to cover up and confuse how it really works, and the lack of respect devs and publisher shows by trying to hide they include it, them not engaging in a discussion and that it kills of the possibility of GOG releases.
I'm not going back to consoles, they're just not interesting.
I would probably buy some Denuvo games, but I would loose the respect for the dev and the product. Right now I have no problems paying full price day 1 for devs I want to support, and I stay away from any shady key sellers.
But if the dev won't respect me, why should I respect them? I would probably buy most of my games on sale further on, and the idea of day 1 purchases and preorders will go out the window.

For those interested in abzu
Still interested in though if only for its settinf
I don't really mind the lenght, as long as the price isn't abusive (and I assume it won't be). Also, I haven't played Journey and have no interest in doing so, so it should be enjoyable nonetheless.
If you want you can join debate about regional pricing and game deals here XD
Nuuvem is getting full USD prices for International customers
Nuuvem is getting full USD prices for International customers
$16 to begin with ($20 - a 20% early bird discount).
I'd check it out at at 15 cause I love Journey (you should totally play it), but 20 would be a little bit too steep for me. Kinda weird that there is no preorder discount
Oh wow that's actually great pricing. If my assumptions are correct it should be priced the same as Headlander here (R$30) which would be just fine by me.
I've been spoiled on most of the impacting moments of Journey, and although I don't really mind spoilers in general, I suppose it would be meaningless to play it now, afaik those moments are basically the core of the game lol.

I wonder if Abzu is going to get hit hard with refunds for being less than 2 hours long.

My bad, I thought the vast majority of complaints about Denuvo were performance related? If performance isn't an issue, why do people not like it? Aside from the DRM on a DRM of course.
You might have been spoiled on those moments, but experiencing them for yourself is a whole nother matter. It's best played in one go, so you can immerse yourself into the world they created. Look for a sale sometime and check it out then. It's a beautiful game, even without the "moments"

Thanks, Diedac. I've been wanting to try Deer God. Metroidvania-ish?
Giving back. This game is solid gold.

Kentucky Route Zero --MB-126D68C5FD0614F5- Taken by Catshade. 21 entrants total.
Because exe is protected so people are afraid that there could be issues in the future with new operating systems and that community won't be able to to something to fix it if developer doesn't want.
The DRM is the biggest angle. It's from people that literally worked on previous DRM that is now defunct and has issues on certain OS, so it's more of a worry about the future scenario. It also makes modding / fixes harder
I think a big one is that literally no games actually admit to it on their store pages. The only time we find out about it is because someone updates an obscure project website. Some don't like supporting this type of DRM and would like to know upfront when making purchases.
CecilRousso

Some do think it's performance related. Others just oppose the idea of even more DRM in their purchases. Others worry about preservation.
I listed my concerns in my previous post.

People have seen enough of Securom, StarForce, Tages etc to invest in shady time bombs.
Like is the wrong word really, why should anyone like drm in the first place?
