GOG has shown that drms are never needed. More often than not, denuvo causes issues to the player, and gets bypassed by a pirate easily. It is simply there because gamedev companies think they get something out of it, when in reality they don't.

Denuvo isn't easily bypassed, unfortunately. I think there's still only like two people cracking Denuvo and one of them is batshit insane.

Probably referring to Empress

Only Empress left now I think, the other one who cracked sports games called it quits, or so i've heard

Empress, right? I've seen some things from her (if Empress indeed is a chick) that I thought really couldn't be meant seriously.

Yeah. I don't even know that much about the whole thing, just what I learned when going to look for a game a while back, and even from that little it was like, wtf is with this person?

Never had an issue pirating a denuvo game.
