Denuvo remains popular even after successful cracking attempts
You have to have a realistic view of anti-piracy measures,
There is no such thing as unbreakable protection. That’s something we always tell our clients to help manage their expectations. Our scope is to prevent early cracks for every title. We want to allow an initial window when a game is released to have an uncracked version and thus guarantee sales.
Games that don’t use any form of anti-piracy protection can suffer when it comes to sales. To pick one recent example, The Witness was heavily pirated during its launch window, according to developer Jonathan Blow.
Piracy has always been there on PC. Titles have always been cracked. If a title doesn’t use any kind of protection, it will be cracked before launch
While the recent hacks of games like Rise of the Tomb Raider may seem like a failure for Denovo, they managed to protect the game for a total of 193 days on PC, ensuring that there were no pirated copies of the game during the game's initial sales period.
By the time Rise of the Tomb Raider was "cracked" the game was already available with significant price reductions, be it on a Steam sale or on other 3rd party PC retailers.
Recently smaller titles like Inside have been cracked in much shorter timeframes, with the game being cracked just 6 weeks after launch, though that did prevent any pirates from accessing the game for over a month.
Denuvo is continuing to improve their anti-tampering technology, patching the recently found holes in their security and making it increasingly difficult to bypass their DRM technology.
Recent releases like Deus Ex Mankind Divided uses a newer version of Denuvo's DRM and has remained uncompromised so far. Only time will tell of Denuvo will remain dominant in the DRM security market.
