Contraband was semi-recently cancelled by microsoft. I have no idea how the hell Nordisk Film ended up owning Avalanche, but I wouldn't be shocked if they were planning to sell off or shutter the studio entirely.

So removing the fraction of a penny that Denuvo Corp get per Just Cause 3 sale probably IS worth it while you are calling security ahead of the mass layoffs.

I actually meant how it paid off to pay for 10 years. Denuvo is quite expensive as far as I know.

Probably a specific contract deal they had with them

That may be it right there

Maybe denuvo was handing out longer deals back then or something
