        Pirate sea shanty being sung in the background as pirates break the DRM and have a better experience than people that actually paid for the game

          I’m sorry to pop your bubble but while Denuvo sucks for consumers, it actually works at least on the PC front. Many cracks you would see require emulators since the pc ports are pretty solidly protected. Like Total war warhammer 3 is still uncracked after 2 years.

            That’s because there aren’t many Denuvo crackers out there (most notably Empress) and unless it’s a huge title or a new title it’s not going to be a priority for the rare few that do it. Empress has her followers vote on what to crack next.

            Related to why FitGirl doesn’t generally do repacks of games using Denuvo, as FitGirl and Empress have a sort of ongoing feud that leads to FitGirl not using Empress cracks.

    For anyone who wants to avoid games that do this kind of shit I can’t recommend the following steam curators enough.

    They also tell you if a game has had Denuivo in the past and has removed it, in case you don’t just want to avoid Denuivo but developers who use it or ever did in the past.
