None of them do. It would fuck with people's ability to make mods for them.

True. I guess I thought that because "ghost wire Tokyo" and "redfall" do. But makes sense for a game like starfield to not

redfall

Best copyright protection for Redfall is that the game is shit and nobody wants to play it.

Which sucks, because Arkane was one of my favorite developers before the quality of their output fell off over the past five years. I loved the Dishonored games, and Prey is the single best immersive sim ever made. I was looking forward to DeathLoop, but it ended up being kinda meh, and Redfall has been so universally panned that I haven't even bothered to try it.

I read that most of the people working there were kinda just hoping it would get canceled eventually. The game industry is so normal and fine.

Yeah those games are only published by Bethesda, not developed. Their in house games never have DRM, unless you count steam.

Bethesda is a publisher as well which explains that

Those aren't BGS games. Bethesda that developes =/= bethesda that publishes. The latter likes DRM

Not necessairly (well, goodbye to Starfield Script Extender in that case). But I think it's more that Gamebryo can't integrate Denuvo lol
