Denuvo seems like such a contentious product.

First, let me explain, I agree with the goal of stopping bots and other "cheat" behaviors. I'm more so an RPG/MMO player than shooter, and have run into tons of bots farming and causing problems. The WOW Gold bots/spammers are notorious. Very early ESO there was a time whenever I wanted to gather a resource, a head would pop up out of the ground and get to it just before me, 90% of the time. And, of course, I could go on.
Bots/cheats in Shooters/Moboa's I think are much more serious and painful.
So, why do I find the topic contentious? Aside from those few who post about their entitlement to do as they wish or why its really ok?
The big thing is the cost, and I am not pointing at the monetary one adding $5 (or whatever) to the Game cost.
The difficulties installing, getting to run, playing offline, and extra CPU/GPU clock cycles to run the code. At least I assume AI will run in the GPU competing with the game, or will it be sending telemetry of "everything you do" to a server for processing?
I like the fair and even play field Denuvo targets providing us - just not the messes I need to clean up after it.
Wish I could play Dragon Age Origens - Ultimate ed on my desktop. Nope, cant and I suspect Devuvo is the reason.
