But removing Denuvo DRM after 12 weeks ‘causes zero mean total revenue loss.’

      “Does it have denuvo (or any other form of malware, including microtransactions)” should be the first question.

      If the answer is yes, never look at it again, and permanently blacklist both developer and publisher.

      If the answer is no, then go on with the rest of the diagram.

      Not everybody follows that same diagram.

      On one end of things, many people don’t care at all if a game has Denuvo.

      On the other end, many pirates won’t buy a game they pirated even if they liked playing it.

        “Many” so what’s your source for this?

        Also I have bought a bunch of games and I still pirate sometimes what are you talking.

          What’s yours? This whole “pirates are also buyers” is just a cop-out, but sure your anecdotic experience is valid proof against the more logical alternative

            Me, my friends, all first hand sources. I bought AC Origins, Cyberpunk 2077, RDR2, COD MW 2019, COD Infinite Warfare. More curious about yours cause you mention cop-out you saying from first hand experience lol? Logical what, your own kinda logical like wdym. Origins is like the only denuvo title I ever bought cause I don’t see any boundaries unlike you. You seem to be caught up in a logical cage and can’t take any other pov that doesn’t fit yourself.
