Its a bit weird. The game came out 10 years ago, which mean Square paid Denuvo 10 years long. The game was countless times on sale for 3 Euros on Steam: https://steamdb.info/app/225540/

SteamDB lowest recorded price is 2,99€ at -85%

Price seen 59 times, last on Nov 18, 2025 (29 days ago)

I have no clue how this paid off.

    Contraband was semi-recently cancelled by microsoft. I have no idea how the hell Nordisk Film ended up owning Avalanche, but I wouldn't be shocked if they were planning to sell off or shutter the studio entirely.

    So removing the fraction of a penny that Denuvo Corp get per Just Cause 3 sale probably IS worth it while you are calling security ahead of the mass layoffs.

    I actually meant how it paid off to pay for 10 years. Denuvo is quite expensive as far as I know.
