    This reminds me of the time the Zoom CEO announced he wanted employees back in the office because remote work wasn’t as effective. It’s easy to assume the people running these companies are competent…

      People with 6+ figure salaries who think they get to rule the world they’ve done less than nothing to help create.

    Basically, you’re confined to the no-fun welcome channel zone—forever in slow mode—until you prove you can behave yourself, at which point Denuvo will elevate you to “Verified Player” status and let you get into the meme, chat, and dev Q&A channels.

    And this, friends, is why so many businesses are closing their forums and other public facing, indexed spaces and using Discord. It’s a black box that they can gatekeep. No complainers allowed to kill the “vibe”, no publicly searchable database that will keep track of what has been deleted, and no visibility for the negativity to the general public doing a Google search on the product.

    I don’t know how much of a bootlicker one has to be to get “verified” but if I were, I’d try to politely ask the staff how Denuvo can be bypassed or circumvented.

    From what I can tell they were only gonna run it for 2 months, even if there was good Q&A/Discussion in there, it would’ve been all locked away in their Discord server. I doubt many people would be searching for answers in a Discord server run by a DRM company.
