    but it’s not like they add it for no reason.

    I didn’t say anything about that. I’m saying the main reason Bethesda removed Denuvo from Doom Eternal is likely because of cost reasons, not because it’s a marketing play to drive sales (like OP suggested).

        They haven’t re-released the game, it’s just an update that removes the DRM which they have to continue to pay for otherwise

        I mean, if there are people who want to buy it, why not? It would just be icing on the cake for Bethesda.

        Yes I do. The whole point of AAA games is to rake in cash, and you still get a badass game in exchange for your money. My original sentiment was more “this is 10% slimy, but I get it, respect”
