If you really want it without denuvo, then buy the Origin version.

You can refund your game if it was purchased very recently with playtime not more than 2 hours. Buy it on Origin or PS4. Btw Mad Max PC port is incredibly well done. This game is optimized really well even for older graphics card.

Ditto. I don't see what the problem is with Denuvo. The only people I've known to have a problem with it are pirates. OP owns a legitimate Steam license, so...what's the problem? I can think of only one possible reason for wanting the DRM removed: intention to violate the EULA for financial gain.

Faster load times, no need for offline activation, save several hundred MB of storage. The executable is fairly small, so maybe not saving several hundred MB. However in the case of rage 2 the non denuvo exe is 300mb smaller.

Means nothing to me. My earlier comments stand. A few seconds of load time is HARDLY worth the bother.

Well if as stated the origin exe has no denuvo, it's likely as simple as copying that executable over and pushing the build. Also IDK what they build their executables with but there's probably just an external dependency [for denuvo] to delete to then build a denuvoless executable.
As for worrying about pirates, according to crack watch it was cracked day 0 [within 24hrs of launch]. but if I look at the NFO the 3DM crack was released 10 days after launch. 1,371 days ago and the game was patched. There's been several hundred changes to the steam db entry since then, with the last update to a mad max sub id being 24 days ago.
So there's no excuse to not have patched out denuvo. Unless they have a contract saying they're not allowed to in which case why would the contract not include other platforms like origin

the only way big or AAA publishers can stop pirates from cracking single player games is by implementing an always online DRM or UWP type DRM on PC (MK11, Anthem, Forza Horizon 4, Fallout 76, Call of Duty BO4, Dirt Rally 2.0, Diablo 3, Need for Speed 2015 etc) and trust me no one likes it. Pirates are gonna keep pirating, they're not going to buy the game either way.

Still, I see no credible explanation for a game owner wanting Denuvo removed, no legitimate complaint. As for the ease or difficulty presented to pirates by whatever forms of protection may or may not be in place? Immaterial. Of course thieves are always going to find a way to steal—"It's my nature," said the scorpion to the toad...but, that too is not germane to the issue. All I wanted to know was why wish for removal of Denuvo? Since no answer seems to be forthcoming, I'm going to stop flogging the proverbial deceased equine. OP should know that since he's been reticent on the matter, he's forced me to accept my unfounded suspicions as facts.

I have no problem with Denovo either. As long as it doesn't affect game's performance in any way I'm good. This might sound strange but I also don't mind when publishers collect your data to study market analysis or whatever reason as long as they deliver a proper game. People who do not like such DRMs must check about it beforehand on Steam store pages or on the internet. However I do hate the fact that some games that require an always online DRM even on single player modes.

Well some people demands Denuvo removed just because it cuts about 10-20fps benchmarks confirms that, about Mad Max and piracy it's already cracked... and it is amazingly smooth game explosions etc. I wish it had bigger world... I did never finish Steam version because I had it pirated long time ago yeah that was bad, now I can buy whatever I want except EpicStore

exclusives.

don't worry mate, you'll able to buy all games on Steam when the contract between Epic Games and the publisher who signed exclusivity with Epic Games after 12 months of release. You should be thrilled because not only you'll get your game bug free with patches but it'll be cheaper on Steam because it'll probably get a price cut. I can't picture Deep Silver listing Metro Exodus for full $60 on Steam when it returns on 20 February 2020. Borderlands 3 however will return on Steam after 6 months of worldwide launch instead of 12 months which is also great.

Yes....just copy the .exe to the Steam version and no denuvo...
BUT you don't have access to the WBplay features...meaning no Scrotus decal and no on-line strong hold scrap.....all the DLC can't be put in the Steam version also.
The Origin version loads smoother and I don't get the split second freeze when driving long distances...that was somewhat remedied by changing the 'write to' properties in the .exe permissions.
the Origins version has less storms tho' for some unknown reason.

The crack has all dlc, and I didn't realise there was a multiplayer component as I never sign in to WB spyware
