Adding itself to the long list, Resident Evil 3 has dropped Denuvo DRM. The horror game no longer has a limited on the amount of PCs that can activate it through an account.
The change hasn't been officially announced by developer Capcom, but rather comes from the SteamDB change-log. The latest update, from October 1, reads "Removed 3rd-Party DRM - Denuvo Anti-tamper, 5 different PC within a day machine activation limit". It's unclear what, if any, specific issues precipitated this move, but given the ways Denuvo's been known to interfere with performance it's not unlikely some very noticeable game-altering quirk made it untenable.
Resident Evil 3 has dropped the software less than a year after Resident Evil 2 did it, which followed Resident Evil 7 cutting the package loose, and the survival games are part of a growing list that includes some of the best games around. Prey, Doom Eternal, and Devil May Cry 5 also got rid of it this year, and Batman: Arkham Knight, The Surge 2, and Hitman 2 removed the DRM add-on last year. No word on if Borderlands 3 is going to follow suit, but it's probably a matter of time.
