Company of Heroes 3 Removes Denuvo DRM After Three Years Relic Entertainment Updates

Company of Heroes 3 lifts Denova DRM after a period of up to three years

Denuvo anti-tamper technology has finally been eliminated from the real-time strategy game, Company of Heroes 3. This update takes place just under three years after its original release. Following the removal of DRM protection, the game immediately finds free offers by unauthorized distribution channels.

Base Transfers Independence and Layoffs

There has been a lot of uproar for developers Relic Entertainment between the time the game was launched and this recent update. After selling off the studio, former pubseaer Sega decided to sell the game. Then, Relic Entertainment bought itself back to make it a free entity. But the downside was that it downsized massively, laying off 240 workers.

Reviews that follow and balance issues still ongoing

Company of Heroes 3 is a tale dividing critics from users. The score holds an average of 78/100 on OpenCritic. User sentiment from Steam currently sits at a level where it is mixed, with a mere 58% rating. The main factor leading to negative shades on player reviews is that the faction balance in the game is yet broken and obnoxiously reported to still be unfixed despite the time that has been spent after its release.
