Good luck! Now we can close this topic. It's a license game they need to do it. But well a monkey is still a monkey.
As crap as denuvo is, it is for the most part successful. There's been a few notible exceptions, but they remain just that.
Hogwarts legacy took about 2 weeks to crack, and those that downloaded it got malware.

Hardly a viable choice.
F1 2023 is still not cracked.

So, to say it's made no difference here isn't accurate at all.
The bulk of a games sales happen in the first few months. So given denuvo games that do get cracked are often many months down the line. It does mean the devs don't loose out on much of the revenue from the bulk of the sales happening shortly after release.
Denuvo is also sold as a time limited product that needs to continually be paid for, so sometimes find games dropping it after a year any way.
Even though it saps your system, giving the game worse performance. It's record against being pirated, and being pirated early in games life cycle is very good.
It's still perfectly fine to be against DRM's existence in general. But "Denuvo functions bad" has always been the same negative PR as Unity used to have when they forced anyone using the free version to pop up the Unity logo on their poorly made garbage. Hammering a screw into place isn't the fault of the screw.
except no it doesn't, piracy is actually beneficial to games increasing sales by 20% as an EU analysis showed that's why they conveniently hid it away hoping no one would notice.
if you see anything with denuvo that tells you the company doesnt give a damn and couldnt care less about the game. also they have no confidence in their own product actually selling, if they have no confidence why would any consumer with common sense have confidence. a good product will sell either way.
if i see denuvo it is immediate ignore list especially when linux compatibility means you only get to check 5 times before the bs activation limit kicks in, or you know just wait for it just be broken in 3 or 4 years and get a version that doesnt require jumping through hoops and as a bonus is free, well technically not but your pc becoming a semi bot network is a tradeoff, see how that works, see how the pirates end up giving people the pro consumer option instead of the actual company.
people already have enough games or can go download things elsewhere that the few games with denuvo are a drop in the water compared to whats available, people will usually pirate to try things as a demo, and there is usually things a pirated version cant do that make it worse so people buy to have mod compatibility and what not but when it isnt doing the rounds people dont give it a second look which means it gets lost in the 50,000 other games on steam :)
as for malware yeh that happens if you dont scan things or dont go for a clean repack lmao, i mean hell even the repack in of themselves make it good for backup that admittedly even valve lacks low sized compressed setups
and sales saved in the first few months lmao if people will buy it they will buy it again its confidence in the product, a pirate will just wait it out if they are already pirating stuff i hate to break it to people but they already have 20,000 + games that they could play each day and never get through them all you really think they cant just wait?
Denuvo is scamming the game companies and telling them what they want to hear, they realised telling them it protects the first 2 weeks of sales gets companies to use them, they fail to mention how it looses them 20% overall sales though, damages their reputation ect.
which goes to the final point the fact that a company cant do a bit of research to find the EU reports on piracy and realise actually it might be a good thing also tells you the company has no confidence at all and probably needs to do something else instead that they are confident in,
movies books and music were negatively affected by piracy though so i'll give you that, with music being the most affected then movies then books, music is its own category though really.
Rn theres no cracker willing to crack denuvo games so most off them will be left uncracked untill denuvo is removed

Because, it certainly doesn't.
There are side by side comparisons of games that have had denuvo removed on youtube. Nearly every game tested with and without shows loading times, FPS, 1 & 0.1% lows, minimum fps etc improved without.
