Ghostwire: Tokyo received a free DLC update titled Spider’s Thread that added new story missions to the game, as well as combat abilities and other quality-of-life features. However, the PC version also added the controversial anti-piracy software Denuvo to the proceedings, an unannounced change that’s been met with confusion and outright hostility from the PC gaming community.

If you aren’t familiar, Denuvo is a DRM tool that ostensibly prevents players from playing games that they haven’t paid for. The software has been noted for having a negative impact on game performance, especially in terms of frame rate, making it quite unpopular among PC enthusiasts who spend a lot of money on such things. It’s extremely unusual for a developer to add Denuvo to a game a year after launch, which just raises further questions.
