Denovo DRM is a software implemented into digital software and games for the purposes of preventing piracy and illegitimate copies of said software from working. Techland, the developers of Dying Light 2, have announced the addition of Denuvo into Dying Light 2, just days before release after already taking preorders. Denuvo is highly looked down upon as it can substantially negatively affect game performance, and even prevent the game from working at all under certain situations. Whether or not this is a necessary addition as to prevent loss to piracy, announcing it so late is ignorant at best.
