據國外媒體消息稱，2K公司與Denuvo防篡改技術（通稱「D加密」）正針對多款遊戲推行一套全新的運行限制機制，涉及作品包括《NBA 2K25》《NBA 2K26》及《漫威暗夜之子》。
2k and Denuvo work together to brick your game, requiring an always online connection: Recent reports confirm that Denuvo Anti-Tamper, in partnership with 2K Games, has introduced a new restriction in several titles including NBA 2K25, NBA 2K26, and Marvel’s Midnight Suns. These games now use a fixed offline authorization token that expires after roughly 14 days, regardless of whether your hardware or operating system has changed. Once the timer runs out, the game will not launch until you reconnect to the internet and get a fresh token. This is stricter than earlier versions of Denuvo, which only required an online connection after significant system alterations. The requirement is not clearly disclosed on Steam store pages, in the EULA, or at the time of purchase, meaning many buyers were unaware they would need periodic internet access even for single-player modes.
最新資訊顯示，上述遊戲目前已引入一種固定的離線授權令牌機制。該令牌的有效期約為14天，到期後自動失效，且不受玩家更換硬體或作業系統的影響。
一旦令牌過期，遊戲將無法啟動，玩家必須重新連接網際網路，獲取新的有效授權令牌後方可繼續遊玩。
與過往版本的Denuvo相比，這一新機制更加嚴苛。舊版本通常僅在檢測到系統發生重大變動時才重新要求聯網驗證，而新機制則採取定期強制驗證的方式，即便對於單人遊戲內容也不例外。
此外，相關報道指出，此項聯網要求並未在Steam商店頁面、最終用戶許可協議（EULA）或購買說明中予以明確標註，導致部分玩家在購買時未能意識到，即使是單機模式也可能需要定期聯網驗證。
該報道的留言區中，大量網友表達了不滿情緒。
Stop buying them. Stop playing them. Stop pirating them. Don't give them aura farming. Just walk away. Make them hate you as the refuse to buy bigot that they want to portray you as. Just don't pay them.
