Great, first the game requires the player to always be online, now paying gamers have to endure DRM that will only delay releases of pirated copies for a few days/weeks...
Edit: Oh yeah, and it requires a "Starbreeze Nebula" account, whatever that shit is (see the SteamDB page under "3rd-Party Account")
Always online aside, the reason Denuvo keeps being used is because for most Denuvoed games it takes a lot longer than a few days/weeks for a crack to be released, if ever - there is only one entity that cracks Denuvo anymore, and their releases are sporadic (plus they’re a bit of a … character). Plenty of games still don’t use Denuvo though, and those don’t even last a day.
I don’t quite get slapping it on an always online game where you’re expected to connect directly to their game servers, though.
