DRM doesn't work in games, go to a torrent site to see all the failed attempts.

    1. It costs money
    2. It makes the product worse(slower, less portable,etc...) for your _ paying _ customers.
    3. It doesn't work if the game is good.
Just add a copyright note on the corner and make sure to have good distribution.

Denuvo has been very successful at protecting games in the launch window the past couple years. Last I heard there was only one person willing and/or able to crack it and their throughput wasn't high.
As others have mentioned it’s probably only helpful on release date or the first weeks.

Ideally it should just automatically expired after x amount of time.

It works to boost preorders and the crucial first week to get into sales charts.
