It is Deep Silver policy to protect our PC games with Denuvo, and we've worked with 4A Games to ensure this will not affect your experience.

How about Denuvo?

EDIT: Policies have changed, but then again, so has Denuvo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volition (formerly a THQ developer, now owned by Koch Media) removed Denuvo from Agents of Mayhem (published by Deep Silver).

Dambuster Studios (formerly Crytek UK, now somewhere under the Koch/DS brand) removed Denuvo from Homefront (published by Deep Silver).

Koch Media and Deep Silver are both now owned by THQ Nordic.

I have a strong feeling Exodus will not have Denuvo based on the cozy relationship between these three companies and each one's prior actions towards the Denuvo DRM platform.

Ubisoft, SEGA, Capcom, Square Enix, and EA are the only big names currently supporting Denuvo. Some of these have been known to remove Denuvo 6-12 months after release as the majority of sales are completed.

Yet you still preorder.... look if they add Denuvo PLEASE REFUND THE GAME, cause we don't wanna see you crying on release about hurr durr DRM, whilst using steam.

Luckily it's singleplayer which means it'll be uploaded on torrent sites as soon as it releases, maybe even before. I never buy games that don't offer multiplayer, never.

You are the reason why companies use Denuvo. Which hurts their legit purchasers in an attempt to stop you from standing on the shoulders of giants.

For this price i think the piracy will be very low even if not have Denuvo. The game quality itself will do the job that Denuvo cannot do with bad games.

I was coming here to post about exactly this. I was initially worried about Denuvo's inclusion in Metro Exodus, too, but I'm not anymore. After looking around a bit online, it seems like ever since THQ Nordic acquired Deep Silver earlier this year, no Deep Silver games have used Denuvo; not only that, but at least one Deep Silver-published game -- Pathfinder: Kingmaker -- is getting a day-one GOG release, and THQ Nordic ALWAYS puts their stuff on GOG. I think the chance of having minimal-to-no DRM in Metro Exodus is actually pretty high right now.

Why are you assuming? I don’t care about Denuvo. I own many games with it.

[AiviLL]

Answer from devs needed, thq etc it's nothing , all AAA game release used this crap in autumn-winter period release.

Yeah this is my issue with the anti Denuvo crowd. They complain/rail against DRM while on an even worse DRM platform.

DS was shying away from Denuvo before the Nordic buyout, though I have no doubt Nordic will continue and/or strengthen the trend.

I doubt we will see a GOG release any time soon. Deep Silver rarely does that at launch and they are still the acting publisher, Each company seems to be Ok with their direction and they probably share similar corporate cultures.

Steam and Denuvo don't function in even remotely the same ways. Steam is acceptable; Denuvo isn't.

Plus the fact that steam has said that, if they were to ever shut down, they would offer their customers a DRM free version of their library for them to download to their computer.

Considering that many denuvo like drm infested games that came out years ago (eg. that one king kong game) are unplayable because the drm servers shut down, i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ doubt denuvo will push for such an action.
