But removing Denuvo DRM after 12 weeks ‘causes zero mean total revenue loss.’

If Denuvo being cracked leads to a measurable and meaningful decrease in revenue, that suggests that enough people would be willing to buy the game even with Denuvo.

When people start speaking with their wallets and stop buying games with Denuvo DRM, then it'd make sense to not have Denuvo. If it's making a company more money to include it, I can't blame them for including it during their launch window.

I seldom buy games that were released within the last 12 weeks, so if they removed Denuvo DRM by then, I can't really complain (at least on my own behalf).
