Overclockers.ru: InZOI оказалась доступна на торрент-ресурсах практически сразу после релиза

The game was released on March 28, 2025, and received a warm community response, though it drew comparisons to a scaled-down version of GTA. It was quickly pirated on various torrent platforms. The developers initially used the Denuvo anti-piracy system but removed it after criticism regarding its negative impact on game performance and restrictions on modding. Players reported that Denuvo hindered performance and limited user-generated mods, essential for the game's longevity. In response to these challenges, inZOI Studio and Krafton focused on community support, leading to modders releasing enhancements. The game featured unexpected mechanics, such as fighting NPCs, kidnapping children, and running over pedestrians, prompting comparisons to GTA. The development team has since addressed some of these mechanics and bugs.

Final Fantasy 16 is the latest game to be freed from the shackles of Denuvo, though its 7-year-old predecessor still remains in DRM jail

Square Enix has removed Denuvo anti-tamper software from Final Fantasy 16, confirmed by SteamDB on March 4, just under six months after its release. This decision has been positively received by players, who often link Denuvo to performance issues. Publishers typically phase out Denuvo when sales decline and piracy threats lessen, which contrasts with Final Fantasy 15, still using Denuvo after seven years. The transition to a subscription model for Denuvo may have influenced Square Enix's decision. Denuvo's attempts to improve its image, including a Discord server, faced backlash and was locked due to negative feedback. Product manager Andreas Ullman noted the lack of evidence supporting claims that preventing piracy directly increases revenue. The impact of Denuvo's removal on Final Fantasy 16's sales remains uncertain.
