The world of\u00a0Outriders<\/em><\/strong> has excited many since the release of the demo on February 25. With the title navigating a delay in early 2021, many were\u00a0eagerly anticipating diving into the title today, only to be foiled by an always-online DRM mechanic in place of Denuvo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Titles that require an active internet connection have been the bane of many gamers for the past decade, beginning with Ubisoft’s\u00a0Assassin’s Creed 2<\/em>. The mechanic acts as a form of DRM (digital rights management) that can make titles difficult to pirate, although it is in no way a failsafe. People Can Fly proudly claimed\u00a0Outriders<\/em><\/a>\u00a0wouldn’t use Denuvo, but it turns out the alternative could be more frustrating for players.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0newly released\u00a0Outriders<\/em> has been frustrating players with the always-online requirement, as the servers have been consistently crashing as players attempt to load up the game. When the servers crash, the game cannot be played any further, requiring players to back completely out of the application. On PC, gamers need to Alt+F4 in order to escape from the title; no other means will work. This means that, for longer missions, some players could be stuck indefinitely until either People Can Fly<\/a> can right its servers, or the studio opts to remove the requirement.<\/p>\n

The always-online is foiling players currently, but the long-term disadvantages may be more concerning. In the event that People Can Fly goes under as a company, it’s more than plausible that\u00a0Outriders<\/em> will one day be completely unplayable as the title stands today. This has happened multiple times in the past, most notably with Disney’s\u00a0<\/a>Tron: Evolution<\/a>,<\/em> and the lapse of SecuROM protections means the\u00a0game is no longer playable for anyone\u00a0other than pirates. Concerns of this occurring with\u00a0Outriders<\/em> are eclipsed, however momentarily, by gamers not being able to play the title.<\/p>\n
