I simply do not buy games with this type of DRM (Denuvo, etc). Full stop. I know hearing this gets old, but vote with your money.

I have not bought an ubisoft, ea, Activision, or game with DRM in at least a decade; save for a few small exceptions (diablo, wow). Me doing this alone obviously has no impact, however if we all started to do this it would make a dent in the only language these companies communicate in: the bottom line.

At that point they would need to begin weighing profits losses to piracy versus profits lost to DRM.

The game didn’t have DRM, they added it after ten years.

So buying games that have no DRM doesn’t mean it won’t have it later on.

Well can't really do much about this one..adding DRM 10 years later is, as far as I know, unprecedented. They would have got me in this case if I bought the game. Not going to delay a purchase if all other requirements are met on a "what if."

People down voting have no idea what I meant

I will also add, for those reading that Riot (Majorly owned by Tencent) is also deploying their own kernel level, always on DRM/Anti-Cheat that presents a huge privacy and security concern. This concern is amplified by their scale. I recommend uninstalling as soon as possible, and if you need to play these games, virtualize or use a computer where riot games are the only thing running.

These kernal level anti-cheats are absurd. Played valorent on launch and had to reinstall windows after I did more research on the "Vanguard."
