The problem is, some developers/publishers simply never remove Denuvo.
Some examples I can think of, Ubi seems to never remove Denuvo, SEGA has Denuvo removed for some (probably due to the Denuvo offer at that time), but most are not removed.
I guess some are simply too notorious to really get a sales boost. I really want to buy those Ubi games on 95% off. UPlay required? Bye.
Most publishers now go for their monthly licensing model for Denuvo.
But I think Sega must have some kind of perpetual contract as an early Denuvo adopter they don’t offer anymore, because otherwise they’d be losing money on the monthly payments for their older games.
As for Ubisoft, they just love DRM. They’ve had games stacking 5 different types of DRM before despite the obvious redundancy.
