@Sega: How long until Denuvo is removed?

[Killerattacks]

No way in hell I'm paying 60 bucks just to have my performance destroyed by DRM which doesn't stop software pirates anyway.
Again the paying customer getting the short stick and I was really looking forward to playing as Majima...
So how long until you will remove Denuvo?

[Norida]

Never, it'll never get removed.

It's SEGA, so this is probably unfortunately accurate. Denuvo in this game will always require you to ask permission to play it, even after SEGA already has your money.

Better cross your fingers for more RGG games to release on GOG in the next several years. I bought all the GOG Yakuza games, so I did my part, I guess.

Sometimes I think these people have nothing better to do then search for games, even games they have no serious interest in playing, that have Denuvo and find the forums to make the same threads will see for the 100,000th time.

Edit: To follow a trend, they never have any posting history in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon forums about actually playing the games, even older games.

I want to buy this game day one, do you think it's worth it despite Denvuo?

Japanese usually release their game finished, waiting for a complete edition with Denuvo removed seems pointless, yes ?

We cant say much on this point, but yeah pirate games are a tad rare, if you liked the black flag gameplay why not give a chance?
Yes you want to play day one, then why not give in? atleast once on your life, screw the review and grades

There will never be a version of this game without Denuvo, Sega doesn't remove Denuvo on the Yakuza games.

Been playing numerous Sega titles that has Denuvo. None of them affect the performance of the game. Don't know what you're on about anyway.

Same here. Ironically, there are plenty of games without it that have performance issues.

[Keiweing]

Neva eva. Nobody knows when if ever

If Denuvo is capable of visibly affecting your performance, you have bigger problems to worry than buying this game, like not being able to even boot it up in the first place due to your specs.

[DmonHiro]

SEGA does not remove Denuvo from any of their games, as far as I know. I could be wrong, but I think they have a special contract. My guess is Denuvo uses SEGA as an advertisement: Look, the games we protect are never cracked.

[Akeyla]

You wouldn't buy it even if it didn't have denuvo, so you've nothing to cry about.

[Spirit Macardi]

Sega has nothing but contempt for the idea of ownership.

[𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗗𝗞 ✌]

we dont care that you wont buy the game bro!
