Will denuvo be taken out

[E_l_m_a77]

I had bad experience with denuvo before so i dont want to buy it unless is taken. is there any chance for that?

[Whx]

their strategy has always been to keep it in until game gets cracked, then they remove it. if no one cracks it, im afraid it could stay on for a long while

[E_l_m_a77]

I'll guess i wait, thanks

They have to pay a monthly fee to denuvo to keep it in. Seeing how the game is performing on steam I'd think there will be a point soon where they realise it's not worth the cost of keeping it in.

They'll obviously want to keep it in for the next steam sale, after that who knows.

can you share what bad experience you had, i've never had any issues from of all the day 1 releases that i've purchased and played.

I doubt the developers are here to read this, but I just wanna be clear: I will buy the game as soon as Denuvo is gone. That's my personal policy. I've done it with Nier, I've done it with Death Stranding, with Sonic Mania, with Ghostwire Tokyo, and it's why I got Yakuza Like A Dragon on GOG instead of Steam.

Well no, that's not the strategy at all nor has it ever been. And Denuvo doesn't get cracked at all these days.

They will likely remove it after about six months, but it could be sooner (DQ Monsters got it removed something like after five weeks).

Performance problems with a previous PC(The PC was kind of old). the problems went away when they remove the denuvo from the game. I have the same policy now as the Desperoni now. DRM and anti-piracy software should not affect the performance of a game.

I am completely with you!

I will indeed boycott this game until Denuvo is removed. I don't buy games with a Denuvo infection. That are games that you are guaranteed to loose some time in the future. As soon as the Denuvo kill switch kicks in, the game becomes unplayable. And that can be literally any time the developer/publisher thinks it's fun to do so.

I personally hate every for of DRM, because I have lost several games in the past to that horrible stuff. Games I payed good money for, but are now completely unplayable. DRM have ripped those games out of my hands, without any form of compensation.

I only buy DRM infested games when they are bottom barrel dirt cheap, so I do not lost much money if they steal it away from me. So yeah - I have some games with DRM, but I will never ever feel comfortable with them. I cannot predict how long it is possible to play those games, and when they get ripped out of my hands (it's WHEN, not IF). It's not a nice feeling.

I am also indeed buy my games on GOG as first choice if possible. I now even have more games on GOG than I have on Steam, and DRM is a big reason for that. Even the not too intrusive Steam DRM still sit not nice with me.

So yeah - Maybe this is a good game, and maybe not. I will see that when Denuvo is removed (or the game becomes dirt cheap, like €5 or so), and not one second sooner...

For their recent games, SE has had the trend to remove Denuvo after 6 months, so check again in June. For the game to get a a 90% discount and a cost of 5€, though, be prepared to wait for 6,000+ years.

I had a bad experience one time where I really wanted to play a game but it had denuvo..... so I ended up spending 80$ on it.

FOrtunately it was a AAA game that wasn't ported from mobile.

And I can apprectiate the fact it's a absolute "hidden" gem by teh creators of the original final fantasy but............

for that money I can buy BG3, Space Marine 2, Indiana moans, Stalker 2 etc etc

The price is just too damned high
