DRM is the bane of many PC players, with Denuvo being the most famous (or infamous). While almost all games with DRM eventually get cracked by fans, developers have begun taking it into their own hands, patching the DRM out after launch. Finally, almost exactly one year on from its release, Denuvo has been removed from Capcom’s Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.

As discovered by ResetEra user ‘nsilvias’ Capcom recently updated Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess to remove Denuvo’s anti-tamper DRM.

For the uninitiated, major video game releases are typically front loaded sales-wise, with a large portion of the game’s revenue being amassed from pre-orders and day-one sales. Furthermore, the Denuvo DRM software has historically been the cause of many issues, both performance and graphics related and its removal only serves to benefit the gaming experience overall.

Unfortunately, the removal of Denuvo came alongside the addition of another DRM – Capcom’s own Enigma software. That said, this move is still being celebrated as Enigma is said to be far less impactful than Denuvo.

Research has suggested that Denuvo is effective only up until the first 3 months on the market – at which point its costs are no longer worth it. As such, it is curious to see Kunitsu-Gami having had its DRM enabled for a whole year.

It will be interesting to see whether this change has any impact on the game’s sales moving forward.
