InZOI: Creative Studio May Be Hiding a Major Controversy

by

Summary

  • One InZOI: Creative Studio player has discovered evidence of the demo using Denuvo Anti-Tamper.
  • Game Rant was unable to replicate the player’s findings, and the game’s Steam page doesn’t mention anything in the way of DRM.
  • Denuvo is a somewhat controversial DRM solution that has previously faced accusations of being detrimental to game performance, though its creators insist that the software can be lightweight—if implemented correctly.

It appears that InZOI may be employing Denuvo Anti-Tamper technology, as suggested by an initial user’s feedback. This assertion has sparked some apprehensions about InZOI’s performance among its supporters, but only future events can confirm whether these worries are justified.

Denuvo Anti-Tamper is a well-known digital rights management (DRM) tool, commonly used by game developers. Over time, Denuvo has gained a somewhat contentious image due to its potential impact on game performance. Yet, the makers of this software argue that it doesn’t necessarily lead to poorer performance; instead, they claim that the effect can be minimal as long as the DRM is thoughtfully integrated into the game development process, rather than being added as an afterthought.

It is possible that InZOI Studio has started using Denuvo protection in their game. A user playing the InZOI: Creative Studio demo recently reported that the trial version employs Denuvo, requiring an internet connection. When this user blocked InZOI in their Windows Defender Firewall, they were prompted to input a specific exception code on a Denuvo-owned website. However, Game Rant was unable to reproduce this issue, indicating that if InZOI: Creative Studio does use Denuvo, the authentication checks might be inconsistent and the demo doesn’t necessarily need to stay online constantly.

InZOI Steam Page Makes No Mention of Denuvo

So far, the developers at InZOI Studio have given no indication of incorporating Digital Rights Management (DRM) into their upcoming life simulation game. As of now, t Creative Studio demo page either.

Some members of the gaming community have previously expressed apprehensions regarding the potential inclusion of Denuvo in the game. Given that InZOI‘s prerequisites for early access are already quite demanding, speculations about the game’s heavy reliance on robust anti-piracy and tampering software have surfaced among some players.

It’s possible that, similar to some games released through early access, the system requirements for InZOI might lessen as its developers continue refining and optimizing the game before its full version 1.0 release. Previously, InZOI Studio announced their intention to maintain the life sim in early access for a minimum of one year.
