The game has been out for a while, can you please remove Denuvo now? It's been proven to greatly reduce performance in games.
One of the lead programmers for Frontier has in the past compared the with-Denuvo and the without-Denuvo builds of the game, and said that there was no discernible difference in performance. I tend to believe him, but I guess that time will tell on this one.I own it, but they aren't rumors, it's just how Denuvo works. Everyone who is trying out Doom after Denuvo was removed has seen performance increases. [removed due to discussing piracy]
Out for a while?... Less than a month and you want to remove the DRM and crack protection?
Do you own the game? [removed due to discussing piracy]
If you want to support the devs and get more great content, go BUY the game!
The rumours that Denuvo reduces performance are bull
there is a team already cracking Denuvo games and it's only a matter of time. Maybe Frontier will get their money back in the process.

The accusations are that Denuvo encrypts and decrypts constantly onto your hard drive, but that's not true. It's a one time 64bit encryption which is unique to your hardware. Of course, it will be cracked at some point. Not familiar with the Doom Denuvo situation, but sounds like backlash for backlash's sake to stop developers using Denuvo.
The industry seems to submit to pirates after a certain period (Once it's cracked). I don't think PC is out of the honeymoon period just yet to justify removing the crack protection.
As you can probably tell, I am very much against pirating games. I support frontier in any endeavours to prevent their game being pirated.
then just tell us what the performance difference is WITH DATA.
I too want to see the best for Frontier, and don't want them to lose money or have their game pirated. The problem Denuvo is being cracked and it's only a matter of time, and if that's the case, then just tell us what the performance difference is WITH DATA.
I believe AndyC has done that already over on the Steam hub. I'll see if I can find it. [happy]
EDIT: Found it! There's multiple posts from Andy in that thread about Denuvo, and there's no better person to ask than the man himself who has been in communication with the company and uses their product. http://steamcommunity.com/app/493340/discussions/0/343785380896812856/?ctp=2#c343785574516476959
