Denuvo games are getting cracked en masse—and I’m scared to think what intrusive DRMs publishers will come up with next

Once upon a time, Denuvo was considered the final boss of anti-piracy protections, one that would usher in a pirateless age where people would be forced to purchase games if they wanted to play them, with cracks a thing of the past. And though that held water for a good while, the invasive DRM has been slowly but surely losing its grip, and with the emergence of new scene groups, odds are that it'll become nearly irrelevant.

But that could actually be horrible, since publishers will no doubt start searching for better, stronger anti-piracy measures, some of which might cost us what little is left of our dear privacy. Not that Denuvo wasn't intruding on our machines already.
