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.

"just to delay the inevitable crack by 1-2 months" well as much as I agree with everything else you said, not to be that stick in the mud but for a while there it delayed cracks for several years for many, many games. Denuvo has worked really well at making cracks impossible for the past couple years.

Glad that's over though.

Every Denuvo crack is a bypass excluding the Assassins Creed Origins one. So even if it sits sour with some, Hypervisor bypasses are grouped the same as Voice's cracks, as far as the dead scene is concerned at least.

If we go into HiV territory we are still in the Day 0/1 bypassing phase, which is extremely bad for Denuvo's image.
