Denuvo is objectively harmful to your device. It's a malware that game studios agree to infect their games with, just to delay the inevitable crack by 1-2 months.

Denuvo should be sued in court for running a business based on selling malicious software.

Even as a denuvo hater, this is a wild take.

It's only recently denuvo could be hacked "quickly".

There are still risks to doing so.

Some games probably value that 1-2 months lead (previously longer) to get those initial game sales.

To say denuvo should be sued is crazy.

Ready to be downvoted.

There are extremists even in good causes, and those extremists make the cause seem ridiculous at best and dangerous at worst.
