Postal developer Running With Scissors, creator of some of the most infamous shooters on PC, says the gaming industry deserves “better” than Denuvo and DRM.

Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future, fight for that.”

what? that’s just false, developers are people, they are employed to develop the game, usually their employer is the game studio.

i think what he means is that the “developer” has the power because he “develops” the games and without him the games can’t be “developed”

it’s a silly way of mistaking a role for the individual that fulfills it. the role is necessary… not that particular individual
