They also claim that performance issues which surfaced shortly after the Denuvo Anti-Cheat was introduced are not related to the controversial system.
"It’s also worth noting that our decision to remove the anti-cheat software is not based on the quality of the Denuvo Anti-Cheat solution," they explain. "Many have unfortunately related the performance and stability issues introduced in Update 1 to the introduction of anti-cheat. They are not related."
