It has Denuvo Anti-tamper and Denuvo anti-cheat. If they didn't include the latter, you could just bypass the microtransactions entirely.

There's a mod right now that adds the item you need to change appearances to a vendor for like 10 gold, so I'm not really sure what cheats it's preventing exactly.

part of the reason im always pro mod option, there will be a fan who offers an optional "fix" for a game.
