The most recent anti-piracy effort for the Switch doesn't appear to be supported by Nintendo, leading players to wonder which firm is enforcing DRMs. Nintendo is renowned for developing iconic gaming titles that many people still play today, but some fans have discovered that the firm occasionally has some fairly contentious regulations. This is particularly valid in the case of Nintendo games and the content that is uploaded on websites like YouTube. Nintendo's game music playback platform has presented challenges for content producers, some of which have resulted in copyright disputes. Now, some fans think Nintendo's use of Denuvo DRM to combat piracy on the Switch represents yet another contentious choice. 

It was disclosed yesterday that Denuvo will give Nintendo anti-piracy DRM technology. According to reports, Denuvo DRM will stop Switch game piracy. Many people were worried, nevertheless, that the software's arrival would cause the hybrid console's performance to suffer in some way. Some have questioned Nintendo's participation in the anti-piracy campaign as a result, but it appears the gaming giant is not involved in the Switch DRM endeavour. 

A representative for Denuvo recently explained that Denuvo's publishing partners were to blame for the drive for DRM software on the Switch. The representative added that the introduction of the software will not have an influence on performance and that it is not designed to disrupt the gaming experience. Because a business needs access to a Nintendo developer account in order to create software for the Switch, some fans on social media still believe that Nintendo was at least somewhat involved in this choice. 

Gamers will continue to speculate about Nintendo's participation in this DRM endeavour as the firm has not yet made an official declaration. Whether Nintendo is complicit or not, the plan to include Denuvo DRM on the Switch will probably be met with opposition. PC gamers claim that Denuvo has a negative impact on game performance even while it prevents game piracy. Some people were able to play games without Denuvo DRM as a result. After years of players claiming poor performance, the programme was taken out of Mortal Kombat 11 in March. 

It makes sense that the Nintendo Switch will want to protect these AAA games from piracy given that some major releases are scheduled for late 2022, but many fans still find the use of Denuvo DRM to be a contentious solution, especially given the reputation the software has developed among PC gamers.
