Lies of P no longer has Denuvo
After five months, it looks like there is no need to have Denuvo included in the game.
It has come to light that Lies of P has eliminated the Denuvo anti-tamper software. This news may come as a relief to many people. However, it seems that Denuvo did not have any visibly negative impact on the game this time around, even though it was included.
Denuvo has a negative reputation amongst players due to some games with Denuvo's anti-tampering software having terrible performance compared to versions without it, giving bad experiences to players who bought the game instead of those who pirated it.
This kind of Anti-tampering software is commonly used to avoid pirating the game during the release window or any amount of time, as some choose not to opt out of it.
The decision to remove Denuvo seems to be due to it no longer being necessary, as the game has already been pirated as soon as the developers accidentally uploaded a DRM-free version of the game to Steam, and for that short timeframe, people managed to crack the game.
The purpose of Denuvo for Lies of P has become obsolete since the pirated version of the game is already available. This could be the reason why NEOWIZ has decided to remove it, although it has not been confirmed. However, based on the order of events, this is likely the case.
