Although FromSoftware games are the greatest exponent of soulslike games, in recent years we have seen very interesting proposals from other companies. Along these lines, Lies of P will seek to find its place and captivate the community. Although the initial reviews were favorable, in the previous days news was confirmed that gave a lot to talk about.
We must remember that Lies of P, the latest project from Neowiz Games and Round8, will officially debut on September 19; However, players who purchased the Deluxe version were able to play from September 15. That same day an update arrived that incorporated a very controversial feature.

Lies of P will debut with Denuvo on PC
That’s right, we were talking about the Denuvo anti-piracy system. Developer Neowiz Games waited until the launch of the early access period to confirm on the Steam page that the action video game will have that controversial tool at debut.
According to data from SteamDB, the system that aims to combat piracy was implemented on September 15 on PC, 4 days before the official launch. The addition was made stealthily, without any statement or announcement on social networks. As expected, the community raised its voice and showed its disapproval.
Lies of P has Denuvo on PC
If we visit the Lies of P Steam page, we will notice that many negative reviews point to the Denuvo tool. The players attacked the studio for implementing the system without prior notice and very close to the official premiere.
“Thumbs down for adding Denuvo 3 days before launch, just hours before Deluxe Edition early access. I will no longer support additional content. For those who claim that pirates are the only ones who hate Denuvo, here is a paying customer who is dissatisfied,” wrote one player on Valve’s platform.
“The demo ran perfectly on Linux through Proton. After release, Denuvo completely destroyed the performance (…) This game looks like a masterpiece, too bad it can’t be played normally,” wrote another fan.
“The game is very good. I love it so far, and it feels like the Bloodborne we never got on PC. My only complaint is that Denuvo exists. I will change my review when it is removed,” said a third player.

What is Denuvo and why is it so controversial?
Denuvo is a popular protection tool that aims to prevent illegal copies from affecting video game sales, especially during the release period. Although it is far from foolproof, it has proven that it can stop hacking attempts. That is why it is very popular among developers.
Of course, this anti-piracy system has a very bad reputation for affecting players. According to multiple reports, it can cause performance problems in some games on PC.
But tell us, what do you think of this situation? Let us read you in the comments.
Lies of P will be available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC. Click here to read more news related to him.
