In April, Ubisoft held a presentation for the remake of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The new version of the game was titled Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, and the developers are already accepting pre-orders, although not all players are rushing to place them.
A notice has appeared on the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Steam page that has become a red light for some PC gamers.
First, it includes the infamous DRM protection:
Third-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper 5 a day - maximum number of devices
Second, Ubisoft's own services are used:
Requires additional registration: Ubisoft Account (can be linked to a Steam account)
Now dissatisfied individuals, such as Scyris, are announcing their refusal to buy Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced until Denuvo is removed:
It's a shame they put Denuvo in it; that means I can forget about my plans to buy the remake. I watched a recent video — the game looks great, and it could have been my first game in the Assassin’s Creed series, but unfortunately I do not support projects with Denuvo. Since Denuvo appeared, I have bought only two games with this DRM. The last three I passed on were Crimson Desert, RE9, and Pragmata, all worthy games, but they want to harm honest customers with consumer-unfriendly DRM, so I did not spend money on them. Thus, counting this game, Denuvo will save me from buying a fourth game already this year.
Some community members recalled that there is now a "hypervisor" crack, i.e. there is a high probability that the remake will be cracked on release day.
