Denuvo costs the studios (or publishers, whatever) money up front, and then more money every month it’s on there. If it doesn’t do the one thing it’s supposed to do, that becomes a pretty bad value proposition for the capitalists.
I knew all that, but I didn’t think there would be a significant enough amount of people using the hypervisors to sway them in that direction. But if I were 14 again and downloading random no-CD cracks from sketchy websites, I might have used them too. There was always some amount of risk in using pirated media, even if minimal, so I guess it tracks.
What Denuvo has been selling is total protection. It doesn’t really matter how few people actually use these hypervisor bypasses, the mere fact that they are available destroys that pitch.
