    Not sure why you’re being downvoted for asking a legit question, but I believe the hate comes exactly from the fact that its annoying, unnecessary and a drain on resources. And even if others are worse we shouldn’t be normalizing it. Personally I avoid it also because until recently it was borderline uncrackable and thus prevented me from keeping my games through posterity.

      annoying

      How so? You usually don’t even notice it’s there.

      unnecessary

      True, but I just don’t think most people care about that a lot. Because if you look closely at how much shit is running on your PC at any given time, denuvo is probably just a small drop of water in the atlantic ocean.

      drain on resources

      That has mostly been debunked by today.

      Personally I avoid it also because until recently it was borderline uncrackable and thus prevented me from keeping my games through posterity.

      That is the only reason I can absolutely understand. Not “owning” your game is a shitty feeling, but we also lost that battle like 25 years ago with steam. I think it’s silly to be mad about denuvo but still use steam for your games if DRM is such a problem.
