  I just need to know which titles have it so I don’t buy those games. It requires an always online connection and that’s a major dealbreaker for me.

    Always on connection? For a portable console? Great idea

      I will say this post isn’t completely true. Denuvo (on pc) requires online checks but from what I’ve experienced it’s typically every 2-4 weeks. I’ve played persona 4 and 5 on my steam deck without internet just fine.

      even when I’m home, my switch is in airplane mode unless I’m actively playing online. it’s crazy how often some games try to phone home, never realized until I got into this habit and started seeing the “please turn off airplane mode” popup

      It's how Denuvo works on PC.

  What’s the point of locking down the console if games still include DRM?

    Locking down the console stops the vast majority attempting piracy, drm attempts to stop the small minority attempting piracy

    I don't think it really has much to do with DRM. It's practically well known at this point that consoles are easy to pirate through emulation. Especially with the constant day 1 emulation articles

  So just a roundabout way to keep people from emulating games? People are gonna figure out how to relate your games. We took many years but we can finally emulate Banjo Tooie. Good games sell well and don’t lose really to piracy, bad (lazily made) games deserve to be pirated
