alt Hacker News> Denuvo is there to prevent piracy within the first 90 days of release [...] They don’t care that it’s eventually cracked
Ah, so Denuvo is always removed after ~90 days after release, as there is no point for them to keep it there?

Denuvo is sold as a subscription to developers, and it is often removed 6–12 months after release.

Yet I have a bunch of games on steam wishlist which I've been waiting for years to buy.
The stopper is of course denuvo, which they keep renewing the license of, for no good reason.

Not strictly after 90 days, but Denuvo is usually removed after the peak sales period for a game. It's really at a publisher's discretion when to remove it, as the sales model for Denuvo is that you have to continue paying for it on a subscription basis to keep it active.
