They slipped malware in at the last minute. They thought nobody would notice after they had their preorder money.
Please don’t support this game or it’s publisher.

Huh? What do you mean? I guess they announced Denuvo or some other DRM?

Denuvu, yes.
But Denuvu was recently cracked (beyond the Hypervisor bypass; fully cracked now) so it probably won’t be too hard to pirate it and get better performance than paying customers.

I mean, I fully expected them to use Denuvo or another aggressive DRM - considering the hype around the game. I initially expected something worse after I read that comment. Since DRM was broken by abusing the hypervisor, I wonder if a new generation of DRM might block running in a VM or on Linux/Proton completely. Like Kernel level DRM module or such.
If it’s “just” Denuvo, I personally don’t care that much as it usually gets removed after a while and I usually wait for a sale anyways. My backlog is big enough to keep me entertained.
As for the betrayed: Why the fuck do people preorder games? I get it, if you want a physical edition of a console game and want to be able to play day one (or want to have it delivered day one). I also get it somewhat with physical goodies of a limited edition (as the digital goodies are usually just a simple skin or such and not worth it). And I get it, if you consider backing a crowd funding campaign of an indie game as preorder. But besides that? It can and will only be a let down usually.
