Great news. Might be a hot take but I don't mind the trend of denuvo at first, removed shortly after release. It secures those early launch sales from people who can't wait, allows us that won't use denuvo games to play them, and everyone who would have likely never purchased the game to experience the art with the rest of us. Of course, I'd rather just not have it ever but it's a good compromise.

Agree completely. No DRM is best DRM, of course, but I'm also a realist. I understand that we need publishers to fund development of most bigger games, and that their shareholders will demand something to protect their investment.
Denuvo will never be installed on my devices, but I'm a patient gamer anyway. By the time I'm buying any game, they've already earned 90% of their expected revenue; by then, DRM is a barrier to sales, from gamers like us.
Keep Denuvo for 1-6 months, if they must, but then drop it.
Was waiting to buy it until this shit was removed
I give it about 3 weeks until they put a different DRM in it
That's fine. Once Denuvo's removed, there's always a DRM free copy available no matter what they do later.
