As usual, any announcement of Denuvo in a PC game is met with immediate ire, ostensibly from the gaming community. But you already knew that Denuvo doesn't affect performance unless it's configured to make an extreme amount of checks, and it definitely doesn't ruin hard drives. You wouldn't share reactionary misinformation would you?
Be honest. You just hate that pirating the game is going to be more difficult.
Be honest, you're a denuvo/DRM shill.
We don't already know it doesn't impact performance, we don't know what checks it will make, and we don't know that denuvo ACTUALLY impacts sale numbers by convincing those mean old pirates to buy their game.
But we do know it improves sales, that's why every game publisher that can afford it is using it. They have years of data to prove it. What do you have?
