What is it with clowns like this digging their heels in and blaming literally anything but the precious MBAs that are plaguing and ruining literally everything about modern society.
In the comment you replied to they meant video game development companies by "developers" not the individual employees at those companies who do the actual work of developing games. Typically the actions of video game development companies are driven by the MBAs who have most of the big picture decision making power rather than the individual employees who develop the games.
What kind of paradise are you living in?
The developer company has a choice. They rather maybe not prefer it, but that's what it is. But saying the word "hate" is wrong.
Bruh... Developing is a job. Hello? You ever have a job before? The developers don't just work for there selves? Knock knock who's there? Oh nobody, just, ya know a BOSS... Ya mighta heard of it? No, I don't mean the movie Boss Baby
Everyone in this thread is failing to understand that "developers" in this context can mean both "people who develop videogames" and "businesses that develop videogames." As the people who develop videogames are not always the ones who make decisions like this at businesses that develop videogames those two different things that everyone is using the same word for often have opposing positions on the matter.
Lol what
In most cases, the studios that can afford denuvo are also owned by the publisher. Like Sega, ea, and Activision.
