Ubisoft Entertainment has recently unveiled the much-anticipated remake of the classic game, Heroes of Might and Magic III. As excitement builds among fans, the game’s page has made its debut on the Steam store, initially appearing without any glaring issues. However, a closer examination of the user agreement has revealed a notable detail that has sparked a heated discussion within the gaming community.
DRM Protection Raises Eyebrows
In the “Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake EULA,” specifically in section “3. Product Access,” a reference to the controversial Denuvo anti-tamper technology has been discovered. The document states:
The product is protected by software technical copyright protection means (DRM software), as well as DENUVO anti-tamper technology. You hereby acknowledge and agree to the following provisions regarding DRM software: (i) installation of the product will also result in the installation of DRM software on your computer; (ii) software copyright protection may limit the number of product installations; (iii)
This revelation has not gone unnoticed. While the Steam page for the remake currently lacks any explicit notifications regarding Denuvo, players are divided in their reactions. Some speculate that the mention of Denuvo might simply be a standard clause included in the agreement, while others have taken to forums to express their discontent, criticizing Ubisoft for incorporating such a system into a remake of a game that has been beloved for over two decades.
As anticipation continues to grow, fans can add Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake to their Steam wishlist. Although a specific release date has yet to be announced, the projected window suggests that the remake could launch as early as 2027, provided there are no unforeseen changes to the timeline.
