Regarding Denuvo showing up on the webpage after release, I've essentially shitlisted Sega on steam going forward as a precaution right now. In the article I linked, and several others, one of the games listed as being affected over the weeekend was Football Manager 2022 - but it doesn't list Denuvo on it's store page (The previous game in the series -does- have denuvo officially though.)
I find it difficult to believe that people would be accidentally typoing the game name repeatedly on every website so going to assume Sega is one of the shitty companies hiding Denuvo status on their game releases. If Sega actually ends up releasing a game I want to play, I'll get it on PS4 or something which is what I would normally do anyway even without shitlisting them on Steam.
So in effect this is more symbolic than anything else, but it still stands. It's just a pain for doing this for Sega in particular because it seems Sega decided NOT to have a publisher page on Steam despite being such a large company. Trying to bring up that page for them just gives you a generic publisher search for them. You'd almost think they realized they could avoid having their games mass-ignored if they didn't have such a page - and you'd have to wonder why they might have gone through the effort to consider that, as if they were having problems with people having a reason to mass ignore their library.
