The controversy surrounding Grand Theft Auto 5 on the PC platform has taken a new turn, as after hearing that developer Rockstar Games might use unbreakable anti-piracy DRM system Denuvo on that version of the game, an alleged message from one of the Denuvo representatives confirms that it's not involved with GTA 5 in any way.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is set to debut on PC in January of 2015, after already appearing last year on PS3 and Xbox 360, and this month on PS4 and Xbox One. While PC gamers have swallowed the last delay with some difficulty, things have been looking up, as Rockstar has confirmed that plenty of specific improvements are included in their version of the open world game.
Yesterday, however, a report surfaced claiming that, besides the improvements, GTA 5 on PC would have a second anti-piracy system called Denuvo, in addition to the standard one offered by Steam. The DRM mechanic is currently unbroken, as it hasn't been hacked on FIFA 15 or Lords of the Fallen, two games that used it in recent months.
This sparked a controversy, but now another report appears via Reddit, citing an alleged email from one of Denuvo's developers, saying that the system isn't involved with GTA 5 in any way.
Seeing as how this report is shaky as well, it's probably best to wait and see when or if Rockstar comments on the rumors.
