Ownership
This game is yours to keep
- Plays offline — no server dependency, so it can't be switched off remotely.
- Steam lists third-party DRM for this game: "Denuvo Anti-tamper 5 different PC within a day machine activation limit". It's extra copy-protection on top of Steam that can hurt performance and stops working if its activation servers are retired.
Whether you keep what you paid for is its own question, separate from the score. How Sifter measures games →
