Denuvo is the preferred system for PC video game developers to avoid the endemic evil suffered by this platform, piracy. Despite Steam's good prices, there is still a significant number of users who prefer not to pay for video games, something that is quite common on PC. Therefore companies are forced to invest in Denuvo with the intention of obtaining better income.
Denuvo is considered the best anti-piracy system in the world, but the reality is quite different, and it is that in all its latest deployments the hackers have taken a short time to defeat it, more specifically on this last occasion it has not taken them a full day.
We have other examples such as Resident Evil VII and Rime, which were hacked in less than a week, however Total War: Warhammer 2 had never been seen, less than 24 hours have served the hacking team of steampunks to shred all the Denuvo work to shreds, assuming Denuvo really does a good job and is not wishful thinking intended to take a bit of the developer pie. We have examples like Just Cause 3 where the game took over a year to get hacked.
Definitely this latest blow by hackers could be considered the last thrust for a company that has been questioned for quite some time. In fact, in many cases Denuvo ends up hindering the playability of users who do it legally, putting more than you work, while posing little more than an interesting challenge for hackers. In short, it is bad news for developers and good news for lovers of the alien that you can now enjoy the game totally free by going to your Pirate Bay closest.
