Gotta love DRM that makes paid versions of games worse than pirated stuff.

Then you'd get a degraded experience anyway, I don't think the difference would be noticeable. Where it would be noticeable, would be with retro games on pretty old hardware.

Either way, even if it were to slow a game by 50%, that would still not be the biggest issue with Denuvo.

One percent from ~ 45avg fps, especially the low drops, feel worse when there's even more intermittent losses from DRM.

It's harder to notice a few fps drop at 100+.
