Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Note regarding CodeFusion support page

This was a long while ago (24 August 2016‎) but on the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided page you added a note under Issues fixed -> Can not start Redeem.exe - api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll wasn't found (Retail) regarding a CodeFusion support page. Do you remember if this page is legit?

I looked into it and the domain seems registered to a Gmail account, which is not typical behavior for corporate support pages. The online form asks for the user's serial number, so I'm concerned that it might be a scam since no references are listed besides the note and no mention of it exists on the pages that are referenced.

It's real. That redeem page is linked to from the activation program included on the DVD for that region. Denuvo games make calls to this domain when launched (see this poster's investigation of Just Cause 3, for example) and may prompt with a link to a page on this domain in cases where authentication isn't available.

I don't know why Denuvo chose to use an unrelated domain name with suspiciously bare-bones activation pages, but that's the way they've done it.

Thanks a lot. I've added a reference to the NeoGAF page as well. Really weird of Denuvo to do so...
