James Bond fans are bailing on 007 First Light after IO Interactive pulls a classic villain move

IO Interactive added a Denuvo anti-tamper notice to 007 First Light’s Steam page only six days before release.

The late disclosure sparked backlash, with fans canceling pre-orders over fears of performance issues, online checks, and reduced ownership.

The controversy renewed criticism of DRM transparency and calls for Steam and Valve to require clearer pre-purchase disclosure.
