Why is Denuvo not listed?

Kinda scummy it's not listed and there's no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chance a 2K game comes out without it. Many concerning reviews pointing to atrocious writing - and hangouts are sadly like half of a game. SP game with paywalled behind MTX skins - are they insecure they'll just launch the game with denuvo without even listing to not scare people off?

Someone else looking for their clown badge. Forum's infested with them lol.

You are trying to 'punish' people by gifting them your own points to spend on Steam?

Denuvo is fine plenty of games have it that nobody whines about. Its because their real complaints would laugh them off the boards.

[PHJF]

I mean I am legit not buying this if it has Denuvo, if it has it it should be listed this close to release what if any DRM it has... I was about to drop $50 on it over at GMG.

[CheeseBoar]

I would hope that it's not going to have Denuvo at this point, as 2K is pretty good about listing Denuvo on the store page in advance (this isn't EA, which straight-up doesn't list it at all).

Not a single Firaxis game has ever used Denuvo. Most of their games are available DRM-free on GOG.

With that said, if this features Denuvo, that'd be the first title from this developer I'd skip.

Now let's hope they don't put Valve CEG in this, like they seem to still favor using.

Didn't know this was infected with Denuvo. Will wait until it's removed and on sale now. Cheers for the heads up.

Because only pedantic ppl care. The game will be fine with or without. I play games, not DRMs or launchers and they never affect my gaming experience.

[Zebedee]

I'm looking for any confirmation about this beyond the OP guessing it might have it and a post asking on Reddit and not seeing it. Perhaps the OP got confused with the other game releasing on the 2nd which most definitely does have it and most certainly flags it on the store page?

[Rhett]

Well, I have looked everywhere I can think and I've seen zero mention of it. If it's in, they're keeping that tightly guarded for some reason. I don't personally expect it to be in.

[thorin106]

If it does I am fine with it as I still get the same performance with or without.

This thread is the literal single place claiming that this game is going to have Denuvo. It more than likely won't be present.

EDIT: Denuvo is indeed present in this game, a fact that the developer and publisher are currently hiding from paying customers.

Performance isn't the problem with Denuvo.
