I wouldn't say it's trivial. EMPRESS is one of the most talented crackers on the scene at the moment and it took ~2 months for this release. Arguably, without EMPRESS, the crack would have taken a lot longer.

I think publishers should be happy with that. Every day a crack doesn’t come out is one more teenager who is hyped about latest game who will buy it.

  Yeah, a lot of publishers voluntarily remove DRM from their games after a few months because most of the profit is made right at launch. Once the first round of discounts start to hit DRM serves no purpose anymore.

    It's even better! You sign a contract with denuvo for how many days protection. The less days the less you pay. When the contract is up they remove it

    Steam wish list. Pick it up for $15 and get a better experience with the DRM removed. Thanks Capcom!
