    Will Denuvo be removed the year after, or when this protection gets bypassed?

    Like I said in another topic, it cannot be allowed that pirates enjoy a better more stable version of a game while the legit buyers don't; see Resident Evil 8 case.

    Denuvo has an obvious impact in all Ubisoft games, taking mighty cpus like an i74790k to 99% usage percentages when no frame rate is set, which is borderline laughbale. Ubisoft games are already very CPU taxing, and Denuvo doesn't come to improve things as we could have it no other way.

    Companies have the right to protect their products, but not at the expense of legit user's welfare, and no welfare can be found where Denuvo is working on your CPU, disk and memory.

    If there's something I haven't liked about FC5 (my fav instalment by far), is that the protection neither was removed when the game got cracked, nor it was the year after, and I'm fearing the same might happen with FC6, which is outmost unacceptable,

    Ubisot, hence I would like to ask you, or make a formal petition for Denuvo to get removed from FC6 when either of those two situations become reality, so legit customers can have the same proper experience as a pirate using a Denuvo free version, see again Capcom's case with Resident Evil 8, and so many other cases too.

    Regards.

    I've never seen it to have an effect on a game, so if it helps Ubi deal with the thieves, it's all fine as far as I'm concerned.

    (I've seen complaints about game impact but much of that appears to be nonsense to give pirates any kind of legitimate case. I've read that the Resident Evil claims are bunk)

    Ubi's call, but from my perspective Ubi can use Deunovo or whatever else they choose as long as they like.
    I'll be far too busy playing the game (I actually paid for)

    e.g. It's a myth:

    that was the point. And that's why, even being FC5 number one fan, I won't be buting this one release date. Yeah that was FC5 bumber one leasson learned, and everybody has seen me defending FC5 with a passion here.

    Makes me sad. Wanted to buy day one in the know they would quit denuvo after some months..., but this time it is gonna be a no no. Unacceptable, after RE8 case sooo exposed.

    Oh I forgot. Yeah I should thank you for your calm response, as I remeber you being fan Nº1 denuvo as well. So..., I guess.., thank you for your normal response.

    But..., heeeeeyyyyy

    what If they remove it this time one year after ?

    Oh yeah man that would be niceeee hehehh

    would be a win/win for every PC user; you too I can presume when looking at your avatar

    Have all FC and AC and some other Ubisoft games, and most contain Denuvo.
    Denuvo never was problem for me, If I did not read about it, I would not even know it existed.

    as KMarko pointed out .. NO they never remove Denuvo .. even Far Cry Primal and far Cry 5 and New Dawn still use it

    i also own all those titles and its never been an issue for me or my hardware , and yes i use SSD drives in my PC .. NO it does not make constant Writes to your SSD and kill it , as even my oldest SSD drive a cheap PNY 256 gig one show no ill effect at all , and that SSD is probably 7 yrs old still works like new , so thats a myth

    nor have i seen any impact on game performance

    FAR CRY 5 did DROP easy anti cheat in the final patch for the game to allow people with a few unsupported AMD CPU's to play the game and the servers filled with cheaters

    those AMD CPU's lacked instruction (sse 4.1 and 4,2 ) sets the game needed to use easy anti cheat

    but denuvo is still there and causes no problems , at least for me
