With the exception of indy games if they're priced in a way I'm happy to take a punt, I only buy games after putting a few hours into the pirate copy. With the near extinction of demos and amount of bs out there over the last decade plus this became my only way of buying. It's why I bought the first KCD back in the day.

Without a copy to evaluate, I'm happy to wait for it to be cracked, and then happy to wait for the DRM to be removed before purchasing to avoid any related performance issues. It's a shame, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it..

Demos have been making a comeback for awhile. You'd be surprised how many games have a demo, Indy and AAA.

The first game was pretty good, but ran like shit for several years and was full of glitches...

Considering how broken games release these days, and now adding denuvo, I think it's gonna be a hot pile of garbage. I would delay getting it for a 2 years after release date at this point.

Does that mean proton will not work?

No, denuvo works with proton
