Patience is the key - I hate Denuvo, you (probably) hate Denuvo, and most devs hate Denuvo... once the magic first week or two are done, the new trend seems to be devs patching out Denuvo once their release sales have peaked so fingers crossed this will continue.

A cheaper, patched, DRM-less game a few months behind release. Winner.

That's not a "new trend," it's been that way for a long time. Denuvo is a subscription model for publishers, and it doesn't make sense to keep paying for it after the sales have already peaked.

That's nice to know, I'm glad sources of greed sometimes cancel each other.
