Of course there are games that fail, what a moronic rebuttal. The question is whether increased anti-piracy measures would help them be successful. Look at the failed games that come to mind for you and ask yourself: would them launching with Denuvo have made them a success?
Didn't trigger anything here but i'll run a scan. Whats the DRM? where can i find it?
well, since the total zip is way to big i just scanned the .exe file, and it got detected by 2/72, but in behaviour it said it opens other folders in programdata/microsft/windows and have some executables. Maybe by only just scanning the .exe file is why it says like that, i dont know very well anyway.
It wouldn't matter, the problem is the business model. Even without piracy most (over 99%) are not going to pay $10 per chapter or whatever even if they like it enough to follow or sub for free, and even $50 for a completed AVN is probably beyond realistic (even AAA games struggle to get $70, and those have million-dollar budgets just for marketing). Stephen King himself tried that with an online ebook and after a few chapters gave up before going back to the publisher/contract route due to lack of income (not even 10% of what he was making before). Given his popularity and 25+ years experience beforehand if even he couldn't make it work probably almost no one else will either. AVNs are still a tiny niche in porn (probably always will be) and a hobby where any money made is just a bonus, not a day job and few (1 in 1000, maybe) get to even day-job level (ie not the $0-2 a hour most make) and for every $100k/mo AVN people see in popularity listings there's 10,000 more making nothing or close to it (pretty much same wealth distribution as any other online industry). If all potential devs realized this before even starting maybe there'd be far fewer half-finished dead stories cluttering sites like here.
I wish they are more big @,@ I wish there is a way to a have choice to ncrease They breasts and ass
I mean, yeah, indie game dev in general is a gamble that only the 1% (if even that) win at. Patreon's promise of democratising creation is nice on paper but ultimately flawed as the creators getting serious support are the same one publishers would have signed anyway (or, well, scammers but that's where publishers come in handy anyway as a decent filter for that sort of thing), there are single digit cases of "shunned by the industry but brought to life by fan support".
