    Part of me thinks that it’s not a consumer facing choice but one of cost savings. I bet they have to pay a licensing fee to continue using Denuvo.

      I think that’s exactly right. I think there is a one-time cost they could pay, but it’s a lot more, so they just didn’t bother.

      And since the objective is to “protect” release sales, taking it out a few months later makes sense.

    Glad I didn’t buy it during the summer sale. Now I can hopefully get it for less without paying the Denuvo tax.
