nice, I have some games that use denuvo in my wishlist: I'll make sure to kick them from there.

and for anyone wondering, this profile seems to track games using it:

Any idea why some games are not recommended and others are "informational"?

I can't seem to find an explanation on the informational.

As far as I can tell, this is a user who reviews games that use Denuvo, and always reviews them as Not Recommended, but will change that review to "Informational" and the review text to "Denuvo removed" when the game removes Denuvo. There may be other circumstances when they'll change it, though, so if you're thinking of actually buying one of these games, it seems wise to click on the game's "Not Recommended" or "Informational" and then scroll down on the store page until it shows you the relevant review. It should be highlighted on the page, though you have to scroll a ways down to see it. There is also a box just after the controller support info that lists 3rd party DRM a game uses, which should be there if the games uses Denuvo.

Thanks for the list. I'm glad none of the games look like something I would buy in the future. Although I did see one or two that's in my library, which I've already beaten years ago when I played on Windows.

That list is super helpful. So many games to avoid. Although, I was somewhat surprised by the number of Denuvo removed I've gotten through Humble.

Underrated comment, this should be at the top.
