Same. Which is unfortunate, because the demo was fun and I think it'll be a good game.

Now, for my dilemma. If I really want to play something that has malware attached. Do I just not buy it, or buy it on console?

Buy a shared steam account for cheap or find a discord where they activate denuvo for freeish. But honestly dunno myself about the moral/ethics of this, I don't have enough of a formed opinion other than fuck denuvo. Or maybe hypervisor bypass on an offline windows pc but that could be torture cause windows too. (I do buy denuvo games sometimes so maybe I'm an hypocrite)

Pretty sure the only denuvo game I've "bought" was one of the tomb raiders, and it came as a code with my gpu. I have bought at least 1 game for my ps5 that I would have preferred to have on pc, because of denuvo. But I also purchased physical in that instance. I don't mind paying, but I also have nothing against piracy. I do have issue with online activation on offline games though and will usually just skip them entirely.

But also denuvo seems to be getting some real cracks not just the HV stuff. So maybe it'll get cracked and they won't want to pay for it anymore, then I can buy it on sale (beacause I'm not paying full price if I have to wait for a crack)
