Please don't buy this on console instead of PC, if you don't want to support Denuvo.
That just tells the publishers that console sales are what matters, and they may simply avoid bringing games to PC in the future.
Voting with your wallet means not buying the game, not buying it somewhere else.
I'm sure this is not what you meant, but that reads as though uncrackable DRM would guarantee higher sales - which is what publishers that implement DRM are counting on. (apparently they didn't get the memo about Denuvo games being cracked within days now)
I would argue that there is little correlation. If the only way to play the game is to buy it, people that pirate games just won't play it. People that use piracy as a means to "demo" the game won't buy it, and positive word of mouth for the game will generally be lower. Unless you believe that "all publicity is good publicity", the bad press about DRM could hurt sales more than DRM "protects".
I'm anti-DRM, but not a pirate. Many PC gamers have been around long enough now to see the long-term effect of DRM on game preservation, and we want nothing to do with it.
I haven't checked to see if it's now playable offline once activated (I would assume so) but it's still using Denuvo.
