DRM is a plague.

For a long time I've been staunchly apposed to it, but had to submit for a couple games. RE4 Remake and Persona 4 Golden have it and Capcom and Sega will never remove it. But Denuvo is still a strong factor in whether or not I purchase a game because every single game I've played with it has caused issues.

RE4 had major loss of performance at certain points. Persona had loss of performance (on a PS2 game!) and a replicable crash that soft locks the game (although this may be due to AMD drivers, dxvk solved this). Before I knew what Denuvo was, Borderlands 3 would consistantly crash to desktop, until they removed it and it magically solved the problem. Phantasy Star Online 2 wouldn't even launch.

And it's not even like Denuvo is the only DRM with issues. Easy Anti Cheat is cancer, too and you can actively see major performance increases when you disable it.
