InZoi is set to launch in early access tomorrow, and developer InZoi Studio is hoping its Sims-like life simulator can challenge EA's juggernaut right from the jump. After a controversy stirred regarding mods, however, one lead dev took to Steam to announce the removal of the DRM program Denuvo from the upcoming build, in a bid to quell disappointment.

In a statement on InZoi's official Steam page, game director and producer Hyungjun "Kjun" Kim confirmed that Denuvo will not be part of InZoi's early-access launch after "consulting with teams from around the world to make a thoughtful and informed decision." Kim says that the decision to use Denuvo was initially to prevent "illegal distribution," but that including the program would ultimately not serve the community at large.

"We understand that removing Denuvo increases the risk of the game being cracked and illegally distributed after release," Kim said in the statement. "At the same time, we believe it opens up a valuable opportunity: It allows InZoi to become more freely configurable--unlocking new ways for players to shape new experiences for other players. We believe enabling this freedom from the very beginning will lead to innovative and long-lasting enjoyment for the community."

Kim also apologized to the community for the controversy, saying they "regret the concern and confusion this has caused within the community, and we’re committed to rebuilding your trust as we move forward in developing the best possible experience." He also reiterated that the team is "committed to making InZoi a highly moddable game."

The change in direction comes after a Steam community forum post mentioned that mods for InZoi would only allow for cosmetic mods--skins, clothing, etc. Specifically, the game's terms of service said that "certain content provided by the Company includes elements that you are not permitted to modify or alter at your discretion" and that players are "prohibited from making any modifications, whether in whole or in part, to such content."

InZoi launches in early access March 27 on Steam. An InZoi Online Showcase livestream aired last week, which showed the team's initial plans for the game, including a full roadmap of what's to expect in the coming weeks.
