Either way, it started to get comical watching publishers release a game with Denuvo, have the game cracked in a matter of days, if not hours, and then release a patch to remove Denuvo entirely from the game.ĭue in part to this, Denuvo eventually announced it would be shifting its focus away from producing DRM that didn’t work to making anti-cheat software.

Remember Denuvo? Back in the far simpler times of 2016-2018, which somehow seem light years better than 2020 despite being veritable dumpster fires in and of themselves, we wrote a series of posts about Denuvo’s DRM and how it went from nigh-uncrackable to totally crackable upon games being released with it. Many players are also viewing this as an opportunity for publishers to finally opt out of using Denuvo for their releases considering something like this is going to be pretty damaging for a game, at least until a fix is released.Thu, May 28th 2020 08:07pm - Timothy Geigner Which only makes the argument against such a DRM even stronger.

Square Enix has also recently taken steps to remove the Denuvo DRM from their games, only a few weeks ago, Square Enix removed the DRM for various games using Denuvo like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Life is Strange: True Colors as well as NieR: Replicant. Publishers like CAPCOM are particularly notable for this as they’ve done this multiple times with their Resident Evil releases including Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village. Players can possibly expect CAPCOM to take the same step with the upcoming release of Monster Hunter Rise on the PC.

This is for the domains and and effects multiple games including: and more… I think moments like this make for a great argument against the use of strong DRMs like Denuvo that prevent games being cracked at the cost of significantly hurting the experience of players who have bought the game. These games include, but are not limited to major titles like Middle Earth: Shadow of War, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Dead Rising 4 and the most concerning is the new Marvels Guardians of The Galaxy which came out only a week ago.
