Just ignore all games that have Denuvo. It's actually working I don't see much good games with denuvo lately.

It's s actually working

You should keep following your principles, but that's not the reason it's working. The amount of gamers that even know about Denuvo is tiny, and those who care enough to not buy a game because of that is an even smaller fraction of that small number.

The reason is simply because Denuvo is expensive and a recurring cost. Once a developer removes it, they no longer need to pay for it.

I don't think that's true about denuvo specifically. I've known some pretty big "normies" for lack of a better term that knoe denuvo makes games run worse.

Lmao imagine paying a monthly fee for software that ruins the game you made... Wtf

Basically the only games I want to play that have Denuvo currently are a handful of games published by ATLUS like Persona 5 the Royal and Metaphor: Refantazio.

I actually bought Metaphor, not realizing it had Denuvo, and then was just randomly unable to launch the game. After fiddling with some proton settings and reopening the game I got a very generic error message with a link to a website that told me I was locked out of the game for 24 hours.

I wound up returning the game.

It's a shame when amazing games like ATLUS's stuff are kneecapped by shithead corpos.
