This problem is solved by not giving money to devs who use denuvo. If you gotta resort to malware to sell your game, it’s not worth playing.

How do I know which do? (Genuine question.)

As of a few months ago (IIRC the timeline) Steam shows this directly on the game's store page. You've got to scroll down for it a little bit, but it's right under where it lists features of the game, E.G. single-player, controller support, etc.
