The ongoing fight between crackers and DRM has reached a truly massive moment, as reportedly Denuvo DRM has been fully broken open in all games.

Denuvo DRM is generally pretty hated. Not just because of the limits it places on systems, but because of many reported performance issues that could be as a result of its inclusion in various games. In the past, Denuvo DRM was a pretty strong choice for publishers as it was difficult to crack open so pirates were always playing a long game of catch-up but it seems that's no longer the case. Enabling publishers to feel like they're protecting their initial sales revenue.

God it frustrates me. Like I get wanting to put it in your game for release, but once it's cracked, why bother keeping it in there? All it does it eat performance and your own money to maintain it. Just let it go.

Apparently paying customers often times wait for the crack and the thing to be removed before buying.

This is pretty much me. More or less with consoles as-well.

I assume it's all pre priced into a contract so it doesn't cost them more money to keep it.
