Denuvo

“encouraging both legal and high-seas users to use hypervisor-based bypasses to circumvent its many shortcomings.”

“Denuvo is still effective enough to protect newly released games for weeks”

“The only thing that came close was Denuvo.”

“anti-piracy DRM software (e.g. Denuvo), which causes such inconvenience and performance degradation to the end-user”

“games even run better without the Denuvo crapware running on top of the game process”

“Denuvo is another case of virtualization based obfuscator being vulnerable to a symbolic execution/optimization approach.”

“It’s not possible with any Denuvo game which will require you reactivate with a drm server every so often.”

“the genuine copy's obfuscated denuvo VM slowly churns and kicks them our when it fails to phone home”

“third-party DRM options like Denuvo and SecuROM that are harder to deal with”

“Anthem would have gotten one much quicker had they not wrapped the game in Denuvo”

“Denuvo buying the publisher a few weeks/months of a crack not being available is worth the investment”

“this era is well and truly over. you've got pre-release hypervisor bypasses and then a conventional crack a couple weeks later.”

“I do think its really pointless, because none of these tools ever truly stop game cheating.”

“famous for being genuinely effective”

“Loading times and 1% or 0.1% low FPS are usually hit the hardest and those stutters are the most immersion-breaking.”

“Thus, I believe the poor implementations are directly the fault of Denuvo.”

“Denuvo is hardly uncrackable there's a big reason Rockstar went to their own anti piracy tools.”

“There are none. Or rather they fall in the margin of error.”

“The stopper is of course denuvo, which they keep renewing the license of, for no good reason.”

“Tough to decide who I trust less, denuvo or a ring-0 hypervisor I downloaded off BitTorrent.”

“for AAA studios it's a no brainer”

“If many of your users misuse your tool, that's a design problem not user error”

“I think at least sometimes paying a big DRM subscriptions is part of a money laundering scheme.”

“that seems to be more related to poor implementations by the game devs, and not inherent to it”

“Denuvo is just invasive bullcrap that deluded people think helps anyone.”

“some do it to have higher performance gaming without denuvo taking resources and computing power”

“Kernel level anti-cheat also doesn't introduce a giant performance penalty like Denuvo-style DRM”

“Why are they bullshit when piracy is a huge problem on the PC?”

“many still refuse to remove it and give paying customers the same better non DRM experience as pirates”

“Denuvo on the other hand is DRM and a pure tradeoff in favor of the publisher at the cost of the consumed.”

“the guy behing Denuvo is the same person behind SafeDisc, SecuROM and similar bullshit siblings”

“Lots of games using their crap remove it after a few months to shut down the flood of support issues the DRM causes.”

“Denuvo embodies all the worst of DRM but was so thoroughly metastasized that it was nearly inoperable”

“I dislike Denuvo for the performance and stability penalties it gives games”

“almost every time a Denuvo game was “cracked” before the hypervisor methods it was because the dev accidentally published a demo”

“It's a dangerous game we're playing to keep these AAA games bottom lines fat.”

“What sucks the most is that the pirates eventually get a 'clean' version with better performance once the DRM is stripped or bypassed”

“the dangerous kernel-level DRMs like Denuvo which cannot be monitored by major antimalware”

“the big corpos sometimes add Denuvo to their games and then are surprised why people are review bombing them”

“right now, Denuvo is undefeated”
