Over the weekend just gone (October 6-November 8), dozens of games were unplayable on PC thanks to a Denuvo domain going offline. The outage affected single-player and multiplayer games, and suffice to say people are not happy.
If you tried to boot up a game that uses Denuvo DRM over the weekend (one of which may have been the recently-released Guardians of the Galaxy from Square Enix, for example) you may have noticed that the game would not run. Both Resetera and Steam communities had various threads talking about the issue, with both parts of the gaming community lameting – once again – that Denuvo was spoiling their good time.
“A Denuvo domain was unreachable yesterday afternoon CET,” said the company in a statement to PC Gamer, seemingly confirming domain woes were behind the outage (but only issuing the statement once the problem was sorted).
