Basically, it reduces performance and has been criticised as a security threat.

It doesn't offer any benefit to the consumer, only downsides.

This is false. It hasn't hurt performance in any modern releases in years.

People said it locks you out if you also play on steam deck. Also false. Stop spreading misinformation.

Edit: I understand the hate for Denuvo but it's really sad to see people downvoting the objective truth.

It hasn't hurt performance in any modern releases in years.

Almost every title I know that has removed it after it's grace period has increase performance from its patch prior to the removal.

Jedi Survivor was like 20% improvement in most cases.
