Wait, but they already launched it without Denuvo. So pirates can easily crack the launch version without it, and only paying customers need to deal with the antipiracy bullshit? Nice, they took a pro-piracy hyperbole and made it actually real.
DRM ONLY ever affects paying customers, ergo DRM is always unethical malware.
Also, let’s never forget how Ghostwire Tokyo had Denuvo patched IN over a year after release.
Eh, I only meant hyperbole in terms of antipiracy affecting the pirates that had to figure out how to crack it. As a broad gesture at the fact piracy (consumption) depends on piracy (effort) to work
I’m thinking this too… like what’s even the point of using denuvo if it’s not applied day one? The whole point is to delay piracy so they sell more copies during launch week (in theory), so waiting until after day one completely ruins that since you can just pirate the easily cracked launch version.
I think anyone who reviewed it should publish a secondary videos explaining this.
This seems like it’s legitimately false advertising
Where is the false advertising?
None of the reviewers experienced the game with Denuvo. Reviews are a form of advertisement (good or bad)
That’s not how it works. Someone else reviewing your product isn’t advertising by you.
Providing a deceitful product for your reviewers before publication is kinda exactly that.
They’re not advertising anything.

Ubisoft does the Ubisoft thing - nothing new under the sun.
Refund, refund, refund. The only single thing they will ever care about is the $.
And people wonder why pirates still exist
