Just another reason to wait long after release to buy a game. Denuvo charges games companies to administer the DRM infrastructure and most developers will strip it out of their games after it's been out for a while.
Buying games on launch is one of the most anti-customer experiences you can get. And that's saying something in our wonderful capitalist economy
Pirating single player games is unfortunately the way to go, considering you BUY a single player game and STILL get fucked on it.
Disagree, like yesman (lol) said it's best to wait. I'm not that worried about playing games day one but I still want to sort the Devs, after they've patched out the bugs and removed DRM preferably
Only the devs who don't use Denuvo
