IO Interactive is facing major backlash after quietly updating the Steam page for 007 First Light to confirm the game will launch with Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM. 😮
The reveal came less than a week before release, and many PC players are furious that the controversial DRM wasn’t disclosed earlier during the pre-order period.
🎮 Across gaming forums and social media, players are now organizing mass pre-order cancellations and refund requests, accusing the studio of intentionally hiding the kernel-level anti-tamper software until the last possible moment.
For years, Denuvo has remained one of the most divisive technologies in PC gaming, with critics claiming it can impact performance, modding, and game preservation — while publishers continue using it to fight piracy during launch windows.
💥 What was supposed to be a huge moment for IO Interactive’s James Bond project has suddenly turned into one of the most controversial PC gaming stories of the week.
