And another one bites the dust. Square Enix has just released a new update for Final Fantasy 16 that removes the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.

Its only positive, is that the denuvo license is non-perpetual.

This is what has led to the trend of it getting removed after a while, because if the publisher wants to keep using it, they have to keep paying.

They aren’t removing it because people hate it, they’re removing it because once launch year has passed, and the crack is out, there’s little reason for the publisher to keep paying denuvo to apply drm.

Much better than it being on there forever on every game that ever launched with it.

Yea, they often want to secure the first month-year of sales as it’s most of the sales anyway. Sometimes there’s some user pressure but that’s really rare.
