RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Denuvo removed from Resident Evil 4 Remake, replaced with Enigma

3 February - Desphael | 24 Comments

Hey everyone, Denuvo has been removed from Resident Evil 4 Remake.

As I've said many times before, in the case of the Resident Evil games they only ever have Denuvo in the latest one, so at some point between the next one being announced and released, they remove Denuvo from the previous one.

Depending how you look at it, that's either good or bad. On one hand it guarantees Denuvo is removed as soon as we know a new game is coming. On the other hand it guarantees Denuvo is not removed unless and until a new one comes out.

Proof for removal: https://steamdb.info/depot/2050653/history/?changeid=M:1730967431395780798

Speaking about Bamco new leadership...
They fully embraced and force censorship, fully aligned with d.e.i. policies.
Look no further from CV II which, good news, sales bombed.
Japan game devs are fully infiltrated and compromised.

But, we are about Denuvo DRM here so I won't comment more.

Thanks! Desphael will put the announcement up as soon as possible.
The Denuvo contract for the Resident Evil games must be really weird seeing how they only remove it when the next one releases... I wonder what kind of benefit they expect for keeping it that long?

Denuvo Removed, added DRM The Enigma Protector

CasaRomeo 2 Feb @ 10:09am

If you consider that ACE COMBAT 8 already has a niche audience, this move seems to be weird. Give a potential customer more reason to consider a niche genre. Who is making these decision.

This will damage the brand and hurt the sales on the long-term but it's not the first-time a company shoots itself in the foot out of myopic management decisions and it certainly won't be the last.
