Is FG's repack of CODEX's FFXV release the one without Denuvo (unprotected demo .exe)? (leminal.space)

I finally want to play this, but I don't feel confortable with Denuvo. Unfortunately I bought the game on Steam way before I cared about DRM.

I read about the "leaked" unprotected .exe that was used to crack the game ahead of launch and I was wondering if FG's repack using CODEX's release is the one based on that unprotected .exe so I can grab that to play without installing Denuvo.

thanks in advance!

edit: it probably has Denuvo, since the CODEX release is "Episode Ardyn", which came out a year or so later, and the NFO mentions Denuvo in "protection". I'll be giving up, hoping they remove Denuvo from the Steam game sometime in the future

Missing the point again, it's almost comical lol

Thanks for your invaluable input, but I found an answer to my question and we can end this here. Hopefully I'll never have to interact with you again in the future! Have a nice day
