Translation: they want to stop paying Denuvo for their DRM system

I remember reading that DRM is really only helpful at launch time anyway as it can slow down (but not stop) pirates, ideally forcing those most excited ahout your game to pay. Once your sales are slowing / pirates have already broken the DRM there really is no further point to it, unless maybe you're regularly publishing updates and the DRM is still slowing the pirates?

It might be that Krafton has a weaker relationship with Denuvo than Microsoft did.

From what I can tell, it looks like their only other games that have used it were the Callisto Protocol (which also had it removed eventually) and inZoi (which used it during beta but removed it before the full release).

the game’s own anti-tampering features will remain active

...what does that mean exactly? Is there an online component to this game or something?

Considering the developers won't be prospering from this in any way, I'll be making sure to be aboard the ship as soon as I can.

Why buy a game when the devs won’t get a single cent? Current owners Krafton are even in court at the moment over rug-pulling the devs of Subnautica. Great game, do not recommend buying it under any circumstances

I have been kinda interested in this, but it somehow hasn't been on sale since August 2024, and with so many other great games to play it just has to wait.

I assume it just means the game won't launch anymore after that date if you don't update since denuvo can't be contacted anymore.
