Now that’s the spirit. When it was originally released, Mega Man 11 was protected by the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. However, earlier today CODEX was able to crack the game and as a result of that, Capcom has decided to completely remove Denuvo from its game.
This is something that most developers/publishers should be doing, at least in our opinion, when their games are cracked. I can totally understand publishers trying to protect their games. However, and as soon as their games are cracked, there is no real reason to keep using Denuvo.
Some may say that publishers are still using Denuvo in their games that have already been cracked in order to protect any upcoming DLCs but as it has been suggested, most people pirate their games as soon as a crack appears. By being pro-active, publishers can minimize that damage.
Now I won’t say that Denuvo impacts a game’s performance as we’ve seen numerous games (that are using Denuvo) running silky smooth on the PC platform. Still, we’d really love to have a Denuvo-free versions of some CPU-intensive games like the latest Assassins’ Creed games.
But anyway, kudos to Capcom for removing Denuvo when Mega Man 11 was cracked and it will be interesting to see whether the team will be as pro-active and consumer-friendly as when – and if – Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry 5 get cracked!

Ah, that’s why it just popped up on scenesource.
That’s kind of like unlocking your door after the walls of your home have been ripped off due to a hurricane. And I don’t even know what that means.
thats nice! I wish ubisoft was that much reasonable to they remove denuvo from for honnor so I could finally try it
That game is online only,having denuvo or not,won’t make any difference. Crackers never crack online only games,because its pointless..
Game is online, but its free and I own it and its a matter of intergity that I wont try it until they remove denuvo
YEs but has been 3 weeks now that pirates sites have been blocked in
europe by ISP’s due to threats to them from Europe, so many people dont
have any other choice than to buy the games to play them no matter if
they are cracked or not!!!
Funny, I didnt noticed any piracy blocking… š
it is in europe only. Most pirate sites are blocked and only some small ones are still avaliable.
if you type on google pirates sites blocked in europe it will show you many articles explaining what happend 3 weeks ago.

Yeah any Denuvo game that FAILS, they remove it to save face. How come all their new games are still shipping with Denuvo and even their past ones that were successful and cracked still has Denuvo? Anyone falls for this rubbish is a FOOL.
That’s good and all, but R7 and DR4 still have it. Why ? Who the f#%$ know.
“..kudos to Capcom…”
Nah, no kudos to a company that only removes it when their game fails, and they want to make it more appealing.
Marvel vs. Capcom was the same, and anything that wasn’t a complete failure for them, still has this garbage DRM injected. See RE7, which has been out for ~2 years now.
F*** Capcom, and f*** Denuvo.

Actually they released the build without denuvo, after Capcom removed it. The game was cracked before by another group.
But in cases like injustice 2, the game will be broken until they remove denuvo (gorila and robin sttutering in some attacks)
“..Still, weād really love to have a Denuvo-free versions of some CPU-intensive games like the latest Assassinsā Creed games..”
Nah,its impossible…you’re talking about ubisoft…uplay(not enough),denuvo(not enough),Vmprotect(not enough??)..who know what kind of protection they will add in the future..
Good! now I can even think of buying it. But they should take Denuvo away from every game.
But Codex did not crack the denuvo version of Mega Man. This isn’t accurate.
Oh nice, time to buy then.
