Huh... so Denuvo has been removed from Death Stranding?

Well, then... maybe I'll actually start to consider re-adding it to my Steam wishlist, so that I can maybe consider buying it at some point in the distant, nebulous future, again. Because, just to restate the blatantly obvious, I certainly wasn't going to buy it while it had the malware Denuvo in it.

Now, if only they would do that with all all the other games that I used to have wishlisted but don't anymore, so that I could maybe someday vaguely consider re-wishlisting them, too. Honestly, I haven't bothered to actually check any of those other games to see if they still have Denuvo or not. Don't think I'm going to bother right now. (EDIT) So, I did run through that list in that post real quick. The only other game that has removed the Denuvo is Resident Evil 3, so I may re-add that one to my wishlist again, someday. All the others still have Denuvo, so they may as well not exist as far as I'm concerned, at least until they wise up and remove that dogshit. (/EDIT)

You're more generous than I. Once I slap the ignore on a game on steam I never remove it - especially if I can't remember the explicit reason I added it. I'm not overly fast at adding ignore to begin with, but 3rd party drm on steam is an instant ignore - especially if they try to hide it at first and get called out.

But I think I mentioned when I find them trying to hide the drm until the players explicitly find proof of it (ie: no warning tag on the store page) I go full publisher-ignore and again never remove it. (Least there be a game in their library that has it but hasn't been discovered by the players.)

update: To be clear, the "hide it at first" comment isn't intended to be tossed at this particular game. To be honest I haven't been interested in the game at all so it's quite possible it's not even on ignore for me.

The main reason I was interested in Death Stranding is because it is, from everything I've heard, basically what Silent Hills was going to be, before Konami tragically killed themselves by drowning in a rancid puddle of asininity. Or if not exactly Silent Hills in all but name, Death Stranding is a sort of spiritual successor to it, at least (if an unreleased game can even have a spiritual successor, anyway). Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, with Norman Reedus as the main character, same as what Silent Hills was going to be. I don't actually know all that much about the specifics of the game itself, though, as I've been avoiding spoilers for the most part.

And that's the main reason it sucked so bad for me when I found out that Death Stranding had that Denuvo dogshit tainting it. I'm glad they finally came to their senses and removed that dumbfuckery. I still don't know if or when I'll get around to buying the game, though, even so. Won't be any time soon, that's for sure.
