Revenue effects of #Denuvo digital rights management on #PC video #games

Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1875952124002532

• Denuvo #DRM protects total revenue from piracy by a mean of 15% and a median of 20%.
#Piracy causes mean total revenue to decrease by 20% when Denuvo is cracked quickly.
• Piracy causes zero mean total revenue loss when Denuvo survives for 12 weeks or more.
• The characteristics of a #game cannot explain its likelihood of being cracked.


First of all DRM is not digital rights management, it is digital restrictions management for the #gamer. Often DRM is making performance and installing problems.
It's important to know that DRM must be payed but makes a game #experience worse. DRM costs #money, #energy, #performance, patches and #support but without any positive effect for the consumer.

The question now is: are these costs higher or lower 20% of lost consumer licenses?

Do you remember the dystopia of #Bladerunner? You were bombarded by neon #advertising everywhere in a gloomy city. Apparently, this is exactly what the #digital #economy dreams of. Consumers who can no longer save themselves from advertising. Who voluntarily buys such devices?

#3Movies about our future with #AI worth watching …

1) Maybe you know one of the opening scenes from 2001 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkNV_wALoYc ) where the apes invented the first tool with the bones. Then an ape throws a bone into the air and in the next cut you can see a space station orbiting the earth. This is a metaphor for the fact that we invented the tool first and then later we can no longer live without our tool. Although not as brilliantly as in 2001, the film recommended here poses the question of whether AI is still a tool or whether humans have already become a tool for AI? A.I. Rising: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/505914-a-i-rising
2) If AI controls everything for us in the near future, will everything be easier for us or can it be more difficult? Afraid: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1062215-afraid
3) Is humanity even worth saving? In an ethical discourse with an AI. Terminator Zero: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/239287-terminator
