Sorry we cannot afford to pay the DRM licensing fee. As a result we will no longer be able to inconvenience our customers or prevent people who were never going to pay for our game anyway from playing.

It's twice as funny in this game because they added Denuvo a year after release. Meaning all pirates got the game DRM free on day one while paying customers got Denuvo patched in.

Absolute waste of money.

I think they did the same thing with anno 1800, only difference is they haven't cracked it yet so no dlc on the pirated version.

Stuff like this makes me wish I was smart enough to be one of those DRM crackers.

Same cause the only one who really knows how to do it with Denuvo is kinda bonkers in the brain zone

Enshitification of DRM moving to subscription based ended up being the most pro consumer move in the long run.
