but it’s not like they add it for no reason.

I didn't say anything about that. I'm saying the main reason Bethesda removed Denuvo from Doom Eternal is likely because of cost reasons, not because it's a marketing play to drive sales (like OP suggested).

@habanhero @corytheboyd Will they really re-release a game just to say it has no DRM to make more money in sales? that sounds really exploitative

They haven't re-released the game, it's just an update that removes the DRM which they have to continue to pay for otherwise

I mean, if there are people who want to buy it, why not? It would just be icing on the cake for Bethesda.
