Capcom puts Denuvo into everything, then after a while they replace it with enigma, which is presumably cheaper, and leave that shit in indefinitely. They also put DRM in games on Steam that they are already selling DRM-free on GoG, defeating any imagined benefit DRM could have and just punishing their actual customers.
Sega meanwhile puts Denuvo into absolutely everything and just keeps it in forever. Square Enix puts Denuvo into everything, but at least usually removes it after a while. I'm thinking this might really be a Japanese thing. They also don't only hate piracy but modding as well, so I'm not surprised they would all opt for the most heinous form of DRM.
