    I do agree with you that it makes games worse, but…

    It does not do anything to prevent piracy beyond maybe a month depending on cracking scene interest.

    The first months of the release are the most profitable time for games. Denuvo is not meant to be uncrackable. Its just meant to protect the release window. Thats why some studios remove it some time after the launch.

    Its only a minor inconvenience to game cracking groups and pirates.

    Even the most popular games take one to two week to crack. That is not just a minor inconvenience. It takes time and effort. Also updates ofter change things enough for the crack to stop working.

      Denuvo is now cracked on day one. In fact I’m gonna go and play the pirated version right now. How long ago the game was released again?

        *Bypassed

        Works until next patch and does not stop denuvo eating recources at the background. But yes you can download and play it, if you want.
