Denuvo has the reputation it has for a reason, and labeling their critics (most of the gaming community) as salty pirates is not going to help them any.
When it comes to performance claims, why on Earth would I believe the salespeople for Denuvo over the people forced to play with it? The former has every inventive to quash any and all claims of causing performance issues.
Considering even MySpace and Digg stuck around despite falling into irrelevancy, I doubt Reddit will ever truly die off…
But I suspect that even irrelevancy won’t happen anytime soon, simply because there’s no slot-in replacement for Reddit.
As much as I like the Fediverse, we’re not a slot-in replacement. Decentralisation helps make us more free, but it limits how big we can get as a platform.
You would need a centralised competitor, something like what Xitter is going through right now with BlueSky and Threads. But for as much as Spez is a piece of shit, he’s no Elon Musk just yet.
