  That was my reaction too!

  I don’t understand the temptation of the studio to pay for Denuvo. Are they worried evil Linux users like me will cheat at some kind of tournament?

  And I was probably going to buy this one, but not if it ships with Denuvo.

    The idiot MBAs running companies think that piracy is lost sales and they probably get bamboozled buy a Denuvo salesman’s pitch.

      “Your game could get downloaded 1,000,000x on a piracy platform, at $60 a pop, that’s $60M in lost revenue. Pay us $30M and we will prevent this - a bargain.”

      Reality, none of those pirates would have paid full price for your game, and it’ll get cracked anyways - you just made it worse for paying customers and deterred anyone who doesn’t want to voluntarily install a rootkit virus on their computer.
