The first game sold millions without any drm. Naturally, they had to add denuvo for the second game.

Their publisher was bought by Embracer shortly after the release of Kingdom Come Deliverance, maybe they're to blame here.

Fucking Embracer. They're a cancer on the industry

Unless they push back from within, they will still suffer the backlash from not trusting the fan base.
