Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game

  I think the point is that they often eventually remove Denuvo and it becomes a moot point.

    My point is that companies that use it are anti-consumer scum and should be actively boycotted.

    Companies like Sega and Ubisoft never remove it, and in the case of Ghostwire Tokyo, Bethesda added it nearly a year after release, pulling a bait-and-switch on PC gamers that would never have it bought it otherwise.

    These companies demonstrate that will steal your purchase from you whenever they feel like it. They do not deserve anyone’s money, not even 6-12 months later at 90% off. If a company uses Denuvo, they don’t deserve anyone’s money.

    Yeah, they pay fees to keep Denuvo in the game. So they only usually use it for the first 6-12 months, (long enough to capture the initial surge of launch sales), and then remove it to stop paying the fees.
