We've all seen many failed game launches, and for the most part, the disaster begins after the launch. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Rocksteady Studios, which appears to be undermining its own efforts to make Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League a success when it releases later this week.

Piling on its own list of controversial decisions, Rocksteady Studios has once again stirred the pot of gamer discontent by incorporating Denuvo DRM into Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (thanks to PCGamesN).

As expected, the inclusion of this anti-tamper tech on its Steam page has raised more than a few eyebrows and perhaps even convinced the entire gaming community not to bother buying the game on day one, considering the disdain for such restrictive measures.

Denuvo, a name that needs no introduction for PC gamers, has a rather infamous reputation for throttling game performance, a spectre that's haunted titles like Sonic Mania, Resident Evil: Village, and Tekken 7 in the past. Despite its intended role as a defense against piracy, Denuvo often finds itself in the crosshairs for the performance penalties it seemingly imposes on games under its watch.
