Correct but irrelevant to what I’ve said, which is that the performance impact of Denuvo is usually minimal. There’s a couple of very bad cases that got a lot of publicity but there’s boatloads of Denuvo games running fine.
It’s not about performance for me. I’m not paying for a single player offline game that requires internet. I was around for the Spore DRM.
