The PC version of Crimson Desert features Denuvo

Here's some news that PC gamers might not like. Pearl Abyss has decided to add anti-piracy software to Crimson Desert, which will be released on March 19.

Denuvo will be used on the open-world action-adventure game. On Steam DB, the game now features a line stating "Denuvo Anti-tamper, 5 different PC within a day machine activation limit".

Users are obviously concerned about performance issues caused by Denuvo. Of course, Pearl Abyss can always remove it later.
