Why is a 6 year old, single player game, still infected with Denuvo?

[DosBoss]

6 years after release we STILL need to connect to Denuvo's server in order to play.
Can this anti-consumer crap be patched out already?

Would love to buy, but this is a huge turnoff.

Huh? i dont need to connect anything to play, are you drunk?

Denuvo does not allow you to enter the game without first verifying the license with the main server.

It always happens that when you do not have an internet connection it cannot carry out the verification and it does not let you start the game... basically killing a singleplayer game if you are left without an internet connection.

It constantly happens to me... a second without internet and it denies you the execution of the game.

Do you not understand how Denuvo works? Are you high. +1 for the removal of Denuvo.

Many specifically RTS games seem to follow this trend lately.
Like Transport Fever 1/2; you get into the main menu, but everything is greyed out. "You need to be online to play" type of BS.

And no, it's not going away. You think hypercorporate greed gives a ♥♥♥♥ about your experience? No, just purchase product, get hyped for the next product, purchase the next product.

Oh, and let's not forget: let the product's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ anti-pirate burrow into your kernel, and leave a massive security hole in your system.

That is weird because when i have it installed and play, I always play offline with no problem.

Never understood why you needed Denuvo after the initial launch. I mean, it confirms the game was a valid purchase, so why does it constantly need to re-confirm the game was purchased? If Denuvo only confirmed at the initial launch and was never needed again, it wouldn't have nearly the hate it does.
