The first one was published by 505 not the 2nd one.

Because he's not the publisher Sony is and they ultimately control the budget and marketing which includes adding Denuvo.
Only thing he can do is advocate against it.
Ya having to keep it unplugged would tell me that something is on the brink of total failure.
Whether this is a one off case or turns into a wide spread issue I'd be asking for a replacement.
Missing a lot of information.
I fall into the 3.8 time frame in the US because I'm in management.
But there are people within many different sectors that have different hourly rates. Like a freshly graduated high school student working at Target or Subway isn't making between 22-30 an hour to hit around 3.8 hours of work.
Or someone working at restaurant during the low hours might not see enough tips to cover the cost of entry. Especially if they have to split tips with the rest of the house.
So I'm really not sure this is accurate.
Because it drives home what I said earlier.
He can only advocate that the publishers don't add Denuvo.
You have two instances with two very different publishers both requiring Denuvo. If it was only major publishers like Sony/Ubi/EA pushing it that would be one thing. But even when smaller publishers like 505 are requiring it that should tell anyone how expensive and troublesome it is to publish games. The only way he could circumvent requirements would be if he decided to self publish the title. Kojima may have been around for some years and might have some money but he doesn't have self publish AAA titles money.
And besides, you can be apart of an industry and recognize it needs to change and voice your concerns for it. That's how progress starts.
