That's the point. Denuvo states that their goal is to prevent piracy the first couple of months while the game is hot, so people cave into buying more. Then after a certain amount of time they remove it because it's not longer needed and will get cracked at that point.
"First couple of months"!? Doom Eternal was released March 2020.
That's how denuvo is supposed to be used, doesn't mean it is how publishers do use it. The moment the game is cracked denuvo stops being useful. Doom Eternal actually launched with a drm free exe as mistake in the first place so it's never been very useful :p
Doom Eternal did release two major DLCs though, which might explain why they're keeping denuvo for so long. I'm going to try the game again later to see if it's running even smoother without denuvo.
