That's nice, maybe I'll buy it on sale for $5 one day.
- I feel as if it is worth the price its currently at. I got 60 hours out of it, without even doing 100% of the acheivements.
  
  Sure but they put Denuvo on it so they pay the asshole-tax.
  
  Since you’ve played it, I do have a couple of questions.
  1). I haven’t played really any JRPGs before so is this game friendly to newcomers or not really? It looks really beautiful and that caught my eye when I first saw it
  2). Do I need to play the previous one to understand what’s going on?
  
  Fair enough.

It is always the same game comes out runs like short after a month drm gone game runs fine …
- Its because the launch of the game is when a game, especially a niche genre gets sales. Since denuvo has a recurring cost to using it, how early its removed is dependant on sales.
  
  So it's more of a "publisher cutting costs" thing than sheer benevolence.

Wait, does this mean it'll run on the Steamdeck now?

i might buy it then

Good. Fuck Denuvo anyway.

Yo Ho Fiddle Deedee!

Publishers continue to reward people for pirating.
- Nobody cracked the PC version until after the removal.
  
  Yeah didn't the one person who knows how to crack denuvo lose their fucking mind recently? I recall reading something, can't remember what.
