        Good question; didn’t even occur to me this might be a thing, but a quick search confirms that previous demo releases have had Denuvo.

        Still waiting on Hogwarts Legacy to drop Denuvo. I’ve almost bought it three times, when it’s been on sale, only to cancel when I did the Denuvo check. It’s been cracked for 2½ years, since 12 days after release. Why the hell is it still included!?

            Oh, shoot. That sucks. I was going to get Hogwarts Legacy for my kiddos.

            Thankfully, the pirated version doesn’t have Denuvo, so I guess there’s an alternative, but it’s so much easier to just buy it on Steam than pirate it, lol.

              Honestly you aren’t missing much, the game gets old once the story really starts. The exploration of the castle is fun, but the surrounding area and combat are lackluster.
