Crimson Desert Makes Controversial Change Just One Week Before Launch

  • Just one week before its release, developer Pearl Abyss has quietly added Denuvo DRM, a controversial anti-tampering technology, to the PC version of Crimson Desert. 
  • For those who might be unaware, Denuvo DRM has long been a controversial choice for a variety of reasons. The third-party software is used by developers to make it more difficult for a game to be tampered with, thus protecting it from piracy. However, it’s often criticized by gamers, largely due to the performance issues that it can sometimes bring, such as lower FPS, increased CPU usage, and more.
