It may have other nefarious uses but it is primarily anti-cheat software.

... No, Denuvo is "anti-tamper" software, meaning DRM primarily with anti-cheat as a bonus.

According to their own site it is both apparently. Either way it is used for both purposes, and for single player that makes no sense.

But one of the 2 uses does make sense for single player games.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Really? It constrains or prevents modding, which is a core part of PC gaming.

Copy protection for single player games is essentially pointless. Even GTA V let's you do what you want in single player mode because it is offline.

The only reason they might want anti tamper is to support in game purchases, which is equally senseless for single player games.

It's an antipiracy measure, not anti modding. Have you never heard of denuvo before?

It also prevents modding/chesting in singleplayer games with microtransactions
