Its still the wild west of this invention. Theres a possibility that trying this will brick your PC.
Would it actually brick it? It seems like at worst it would be an os reinstall
I feel like denuvo is gonna start trying to release CPU microcode some day. Then we can get true bricking.
It depends. Some malware would not be removed by an OS reinstall.
A few examples are mentioned here:

As I understand it, it also leaves your system wide open to malware to just come right in. I’ve seen statements that it should only be used during a game session to minimize risk, but that’s still a risk, and you know some people won’t do that.
