Exactly this!
The whole 'I won't buy a game because it has Denuvo' is just stupid. Would I prefer the game had no Denuvo?-- of course, Yes. Do I care about it enough to skip buying the game just because of its inclusion? -- No, not in the slightest.
Those who are wondering about the whole Denuvo deal -- keep in mind that Denuvo has come a long way and It has been shown Denuvo has none to minimal performance impact nowadays. Most PC gamers are obviously not against DRM in general, cause Steam has its own DRM. So if one is buying the game legitimately, why worry about extra DRM?
The common argument for not buying Denuvo games is that by doing so you're voting with your wallet and are deincentivizing companies from adding Denuvo. But unfortunately, piracy is a fact of life and companies have data showing that Denuvo does help reduce piracy on major tentpole releases. The industry has been racked by layoffs with so many developers impacted. Why not just buy the game if you want it and support developers with your wallet instead of worrying about mythical performance impact of Denuvo that may or may not be there.
Furthermore, most people forget that companies are not stupid. Denuvo is very expensive for them to implement. Obviously they took the decision because hype for the game is crazy high. Every professional outlet is waxing poetic about how the engine is accomplishing unbelievable technical feats. And hype usually translates to extremely front-loaded sales. Consequently, the publisher obviously realized it's imperative for them that the game not get cracked in the first few weeks of release. Honestly, I can't blame them.
Finally, considering the developers put in the effort to build their own engine, at a time when we have an endless parade of unreal 5 games -- I wish them all the success. If Denuvo is one of the tools they need to achieve that -- so be it.

It doesn't, almost every game runs DRM. They're just mad it won't be cracked soon
That being said, will this give me the pre-purchase exclusives? I saw a similar deal on another site but it said the code will be given the day of launch so the pre-purchase exclusives would not be included. Fanatical even states the product will be delivered on March 19th, but it's kind of vague.

When a game with it eventually gets cracked, the pirated copy runs significantly better which is why people who pay for the games hate it. it basically makes pirate copies better than paid.
Last I checked, the guy/girl that knew how to crack denuvo quickly, quit cracking games. Take wukong for example, that game hasn't been cracked yet due to denuvo
