And it's gone.

So they're making a new Nier game, huh?[1] Well, that's cool I guess and it has Denuvo.

Nah, I'm just playing around. I knew it was going to have Denuvo before I even scrolled down to confirm that it will have Denuvo. After all, the previous game has Denuvo (EDIT) now removed, thank goodness (/EDIT), and pretty much every other new-ish game Square-Enix publishes has Denuvo, so why the fuck wouldn't this game have Denuvo, too? In any case, Denuvo is why I removed Automata and whatever other Squeenix games from my Steam wishlist, so I'm not going to be expending much future thought on this game here after pressing the "post" button on this, either, much less contaminate my wishlist with it.

As always, to hell with the modern video game industry.

[1] - Well, actually, it's just the original Nier, but "remastered," and the story changed (or reverted?) so that Nier is Yonah's brother instead of her father.

To be honest I'm half way to just wholesale dev/pub ignoring for the larger companies that inject denuvo into all of their shit rather than just wholesale dev/pub ignoring the ones that try to sneak it in by "forgetting" to add the 3rd party drm warning on their store pages.

I'll be de facto doing that for Square-Enix and others, as long as they insist on continuing to use that malware in most of their shit. That's the first thing I look for now. Does the game use Denuvo? Yes? Then it can fuck off and die. May as well not exist at all, as far as I'm concerned (outside of maybe a mocking post like the one above).
