    My understanding is that those who would pirate the game are unlikely to buy the game regardless and those who would buy the game are likely to follow the path of least resistance, eg buying the game from the store.

    Why do developers pay for Denuvo then?

      I can’t think of any reason why Capitalist corporations would actively block people from owning or controlling the things they purchase. Does anyone else have an idea?

        If that was the reason, then no developer would disable denuvo after some time, like some of them do now.

      Ill conceived notions and fear tactics. How else do you implement a useless technology? You convince people it’s necessary.
