Almost 2 years after the launch of the Steam version of Resident Evil Village, PC gamers were actually avoiding this version because an important thing that is supposed to help both Capcom and gamers is actually the problem and it is Denuvo.

Early this week, Capcom released a patch to the PC version of Resident Evil Village sold via Steam and one of the important changes was actually the removal of the Denuvo DRM, the notorious anti-cheat that is so unpopular with gamers because it is so invasive on hardware that affects performance.

Almost at the second anniversary of the game, practically Capcom have been reading reactions alright and after some testing, it was decided that it was best to switch Denuvo with a in-house DRM verifier.

It was around summer of 2021 that people were suspecting that the performance of the game was affected thanks to Denuvo with multiple pro gamers actually cracking the game to show evidence (to avoid DMCA I am not pointing out videos).

Despite the fact, there hasn’t been a report that the same thing goes for Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake and Monster Hunter World , so maybe Capcom will find a way to coexist with Denuvo for these games.

Between the release of the update and the writing of this Irdeto, the makers of Denuvo, have not reacted on yet another reversal and another celebration for the growing detractors and many hoping this serves to reverse the decision of Nintendo recommending *cough*’enforcing’*cough* developers to include Denuvo for Nintendo Switch.
