      I feel as if it is worth the price its currently at. I got 60 hours out of it, without even doing 100% of the acheivements.

        Sure but they put Denuvo on it so they pay the asshole-tax.

        Since you’ve played it, I do have a couple of questions.

        1). I haven’t played really any JRPGs before so is this game friendly to newcomers or not really? It looks really beautiful and that caught my eye when I first saw it

        2). Do I need to play the previous one to understand what’s going on?

          It was also my first JRPG, and I would say it’s pretty easy to grasp the concepts of it.

          No, it’s a separate story line.

      Its because the launch of the game is when a game, especially a niche genre gets sales. Since denuvo has a recurring cost to using it, how early its removed is dependant on sales.

        So it’s more of a “publisher cutting costs” thing than sheer benevolence.

          usually yes, its a publisher cutting the reccuring cost of using the DRM

    Publishers continue to reward people for pirating.

      Nobody cracked the PC version until after the removal.

    Wait, does this mean it’ll run on the Steamdeck now?

      I’m pretty sure Denuvo games have always worked on steamdeck. I think you just need to launch them one time while you’re connected to the internet.

        Yup, while Denuvo DRM is still an issue for many other reasons, it has been generally very Linux and Wine-friendly, especially in comparison to other popular DRM/anticheat solutions in place that explicitly block LInux users by-design, or at best change their implementation so often that it’s a cat-and-mouse game keeping Wine and other layers up to date to support it.
