article goes into why Denuvo is bad but not much more (which is debatable…
I mentioned why denuvo is bad. I wasn’t replying specifically to your argument about performance, because that’s only a slice of the reason why denuvo is bad.
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. That started with 3 activations and having to call EA for more. Even the current 5 activations per day is too restrictive, as I’ve heard changing proton version counts as an activation. If I don’t own it (yes technically you don’t steam games, but I think I could easily bypass steam protection and still play my games if it came down to it) I’m not buying it.

How is that relevant to anything I’ve said.
