  • Free-to-play eBaseball: Pro Spirit Released by Konami

    Konami celebrates America's favorite pastime.

    If I told you that there is a new free-to-play, full-scale baseball title out right now, you probably wouldn't believe me. It's true though. Konami just released eBaseball: Pro Spirit for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.

    The studio says that this is a "free-to-play, full-scale baseball title" (that sounds familiar) that is powered by a next-generation eBaseball Engine. Players will go up against others in competitive online matchups. The PC release also features, for the first time ever, full keyboard and mouse support.

    Naturally, the game lacks an MLB license, so you won't see any of your favorite teams and players. Well, at least not officially.

      Free to Play... Denuvo... Free to Play... Denuvo... I do not understand how both can be in the same sentence.

      They probably implemented Denuvo because, I believe, this version is a severely gimped one compared to that available in Japan, and you know how companies love to overprotect things.

    Denuvo to Offer Independent Benchmarks to Prove It Doesn't Cause Performance Issues
    by Shawn Zipay
    The controversial DRM system has long been blamed for poorly performing PC games.

    Despite the years of complaints from PC players, Denuvo is still the go-to option when it comes to adding anti-tamper and anti-piracy measures into new game releases. It's also still just as common to hear complaints from players saying that Deunvo is responsible for any and all performance woes that a player faces when playing a video game with it included.

    These claims of degraded performance...

    Denuvo Anti-Cheat Getting Removed from DOOM Eternal in Next Update
    by Shawn Zipay
    Consider this a horribly failed experiment.

    id Software executive producer Marty Stratton took to Reddit to announce that the much detested Denuvo Anti-Cheat will be removed in the next update for DOOM Eternal. For those who are not aware, the previous update for DOOM Eternal added in the third-party anti-cheat to the game.

    Much like the anti-cheat used in Valorant, the Denuvo Anti-Cheat operates with elevated permissions at ring 0, or at the kernel level of a system....

    As of April 27th, there are "officially" no games with Denuvo's anti-tamper and DRM software left to crack. This is due to the efforts of groups such as the MKDev collective and DenuvOwO. These two groups found...

    Two Years After Release, Denuvo Removed from Resident Evil Village
    by Shawn Zipay
    It comes a little late, but Denuvo being removed is always good news.

    In May 2021, Capcom launch Resident Evil Village. That launch, like many of Capcom's other recent PC releases, included the anti-piracy software known as Denuvo. Now, in April 2023, it looks like Capcom finally removed Denuvo from Village.

    The change was spotted through SteamDB. The change flatly says, "Removed 3rd-Party DRM – Denuvo Anti-tamper, 5 different PC within a day machine activation...
