      Correct but irrelevant to what I’ve said, which is that the performance impact of Denuvo is usually minimal. There’s a couple of very bad cases that got a lot of publicity but there’s boatloads of Denuvo games running fine.

      It’s cool Denuvo was cracked. It’ll be fixed eventually and the never ending game of cat and mouse continues.

        It’s not about performance for me. I’m not paying for a single player offline game that requires internet. I was around for the Spore DRM. That started with 3 activations and having to call EA for more. Even the current 5 activations per day is too restrictive, as I’ve heard changing proton version counts as an activation. If I don’t own it (yes technically you don’t steam games, but I think I could easily bypass steam protection and still play my games if it came down to it) I’m not buying it.

          How is that relevant to anything I’ve said. It’s like this article, „forget what this news is about, let’s dunk on Denuvo”. I guess they know their audience.

        article goes into why Denuvo is bad but not much more (which is debatable…

        I mentioned why denuvo is bad. I wasn’t replying specifically to your argument about performance, because that’s only a slice of the reason why denuvo is bad.
