Part of me thinks that it’s not a consumer facing choice but one of cost savings. I bet they have to pay a licensing fee to continue using Denuvo.

And since the objective is to “protect” release sales, taking it out a few months later makes sense.

I think that’s exactly right. I think there is a one-time cost they could pay, but it’s a lot more, so they just didn’t bother.

Has to be. There’s always going to be a point in a games post-release lifecycle where the cost is just not worth it anymore. Shame these decisions always seem to be based on cost and not what’s right for the consumer.

Yeah they do. It’s quite pricy iirc.
