    If a game I think I’m interested in has Denuvo attached to it, it’s an immediate pass. It just reminds me that there is is a back-catalog of games I could play on emulators, too. No sign ups. No always-online. No tracking me. So I end up reaching for one of those. It’s almost quaint to think something can be enjoyed privately.

    The last game I bought with Denuvo was Doom Eternal, and as a separate matter it still harasses me to this day to create a Bethesda account (I have to switch Steam to offline mode to bypass that). It still has that stupid DRM on it after all these years. What a waste.

      I pirated it. No microtransactions, no online content, no accounts. Just start & play. <3

      If such features are available on Steam, I would probably buy it because it would be easier than pirating.
