Counting only games in the modern era, when Denuvo started to charge monthly fees. And of course it might vary from game to game depending on sales, but...

I know that Square-Enix often removes it six months after release, and at a glance it looks like 2K often removes it roughly a year after release.

I'm curious if anyone has tracked this for other games so we can have a sense of which games are likely to have it removed when. I was eying a game when it suddenly occurred to me to think "wait, doesn't this company usually remove Denuvo around now?"

It might even be useful to create a tracking document of games where Denuvo has been removed by the publisher, divided by publisher (and perhaps with a few other notes that might affect it, like Steam review, metacritic, or sales figures if we can find them) to help us get a sense of where things stand in that regard.

This bot seems like a bad idea. It mucks up Lemmy discussions with bot comments in the hope that they get noticed on Mastodon.

Why not have a bot repost to Mastodon so you’re not spamming the people who already saw it?

Because that doesn't allow interaction between communities. Ideally there will eventually be a method to enable this type of interaction without a bot connecting them. In the meantime you can block the bot like I did, and then you only have to see people complaining about it like you did.

How does spamming a Lemmy post with a hashtag help publicize it to Mastodon?

If the point is to make it visible on Mastodon, why not post it there?
