The official Steam page for Deep Silver and Starbreeze’s PAYDAY 3 game has been updated to show the use of this ever-controversial third-party DRM.

It look like the drm isn't here to protect the game but the microtransaction system. This greedy 40$ freemium system remind me ovewatch...

If the server side security is done properly, nothing the client can do can crack that.

Franchise died to me after they promised no microtransaction then months later made it worse than a gatcha game.

To be fair, after they switched publishers, they did away with the gacha nonsense

They also released a version that included all the DLC and then walked back that promise.

Good implementations of Denuvo have such a minimal impact on the quality of the game experience that I tend towards optimism when I hear this kind of news. That said, bad implementations of Denuvo cripple the game in a way that previous horrible DRM schemes could only dream of. I'm not planning on playing Payday 3 (I never had any fun with 1 or 2), but I hope that this is the former situation for its fans.
