Terrible News for Borderlands 3 Fans - Denuvo will be part of the package

Borderlands 3 will be released in less than a month and fans are no doubt excited. The game has courted a lot of controversy when it was announced that it will be a timed exclusive to the Epic Games store. Now Epic has announced that Borderlands 3 will make use of the most hated DRM solution: Denuvo anti-tamper.

In a revamped store page design, Borderland's descriptionhas been updated to mention that it “incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo anti-tamper.” Users on the reddit thread have also been very vocal about this new situation. It seems that fans can expect this to mean that future Epic store releases could have extra DRM protection as well.

Denuvo’s not foolproof, but it has proven effective in keeping many 2019 releases from being torrented for months – though some versions of the software have still been cracked upon launch. The problem is that Denuvo affects different games differently and no one has any idea if it will be detrimental to the gameplay of Borderlands 3.

There are plenty of Denuvo haters out there. One can only hope it doesn't affect fans' enjoyment of the game.
