Playdead has released a new update for its indie title, Inside, that removes its Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Playdead did a smart thing removing Denuvo from the Steam version of Inside as the game is already available on GOG (without any DRM at all).
As such, the Denuvo anti-tamper tech could potentially harm the game’s Steam sales. After all, a lot of PC gamers boycott games that are powered by it.
It’s worth noting that Inside was almost immediately cracked, even though it was using Denuvo. Not only that, but a respectable number of Denuvo games have been cracked. Among them are Doom, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst and Rise of the Tomb Raider.
This latest patch for Inside also brings minor fixes that have not been detailed.
Here is hoping that more developers and publishers – that are using Denuvo – will follow Playdead’s example.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
