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.”
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.
