Notably, some developers began to speak out against Denuvo, citing concerns about its impact on game performance and customer satisfaction.

In response to growing concerns, a group of gamers decided to create a list of games using Denuvo in 2025. The list, which quickly gained traction online, aimed to raise awareness about the use of this DRM tool and its potential implications.

"I understand that developers want to protect their work, but Denuvo feels like a relic of the past," said one gamer. "It's time for more modern and customer-friendly solutions."

"We understand the need for DRM, but we're exploring alternative solutions that prioritize customer experience," said a spokesperson for CD Projekt RED.
