This is concerning and upsetting. The DRM doesn't just break SD support (despite being verified), it prevents the use of mods. This is a game with no PvP of any kind, where most mods are either skins or gameplay/QoL improvements. MHW for example has a mod that adds New Game+.
Also, I already own the game, so it's not like I can choose to not buy it.
