You have literally zero proof in regard the impact Denuvo has on sales, just as you could argue that I have no conclusive evidence that it actually helps sales. You will find that I *have* actually done research on the matter though, rather than just peruse warez sites, and evidence of the impact of piracy is out there. It is just a fact that the initial sales period has to be protected, and seeing as it is rare that Denuvo games are patched day-one, then it's worth is obviously there when it comes to maximising sales.
Try reading this article (http://www.tweakguides.com/Piracy_1.html) and educating yourself, before accusing others of not doing their own research - in particular the economy of piracy section and the DRM section. Also read up on why Jonathon Blow added it to The Witness then removed it.
As for Denuvo being 'useless' and easy to crack. It is a constantly evolving piece of kit. It was 'cracked' a long, long time back, then re-coded and had a long period where it was successful, before being slightly less of late. It is in their own interest to strengthen it again, and I hope they do.
You have done so much research you're constantly avoiding the question of why game companies continued to use toxic draconian DRMs on their games despite them being cracked one hour after release. Still waiting on your amazing research on that.
Can you respond to you claiming peeps on here are just looking to pirate the game, or is it all selectice reading and replying for you.
Dude acts like Trump voters. Actual facts have been presented to him: he completely ignores them.
