Agree completely. No DRM is best DRM, of course, but I'm also a realist. I understand that we need publishers to fund development of most bigger games, and that their shareholders will demand something to protect their investment.

Denuvo will never be installed on my devices, but I'm a patient gamer anyway. By the time I'm buying any game, they've already earned 90% of their expected revenue; by then, DRM is a barrier to sales, from gamers like us.

Keep Denuvo for 1-6 months, if they must, but then drop it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
