Performance is one thing, but that isn't my principle concern (I have a high end enough system to likely absorb whatever impact there might be, or can wait it out for any impact to be negated with fixes). My main concern are the kernel level drivers that Denuvo uses. Kernel level access is woefully overly permissive for a tool designed to ensure you didnt steal the software or that you dont cheat (which for me doesnt matter as I play Civ single player only). MS appears to have a path forward to remove 3rd party access to the kernel, at least as much as possible after the incident on July 19th with Crowdstrike. If MS is planning or working on pushing security vendors out of the kernel, I dont see why they would allow other 3rd part software to keep their fingers in the kernel. There is no financial reason to allow one and not the other, and there is a reputational risk to keep some 3rd party software having that access while removing (or reducing) security related software from said access.

Just over a week after the botched CrowdStrike update caused millions of Windows-based machines to crash, Microsoft has published its analysis of the outage.
