This crack sounds too scary to use. Impressive, but scary.

As usual for any DRM company or publisher, Irdeto also claimed that downloading games with the bypass is a security concern, but this time around, the company has a valid point.

Using the hypervisor bypass, even in its latest incarnation, requires users to... [install] a community-made hypervisor (HV) with Windows running on top of it. This HV fakes responses to the checks that Denuvo makes, and runs with higher permissions... than the operating system itself and has full, nearly untraceable access to hardware and software.

If you think that’s scary wait til you hear about what it’s circumventing is capable of.

Nasty stuff I don't want on my computer either. As an amateur, was really hoping the cracks would remove it, not circumvent it...
