IIRC, Denuvo isn't added by the game devs, they ship off their code (or compiled binaries?) to Denuvo who implement it for them.

- jandrese 5y agoThe way Denuvo work is they absolutely litter your code with checks that are exceedingly complex and convoluted. When they make a promise to the developers that "this game won't be cracked for X days/weeks" what they are saying is they are putting in so much extra code that it will take the crackers that much time to reverse engineer it. It's basically "we are adding this much busywork to your game". When some AAA publisher opts for the longest possible length it turns into a performance impacting amount of busywork. I wish more game companies would then ship the un-denuvoed version once the main version was cracked and released on pirate sites. Just do it quietly in a patch with a bullet point of " * slightly improved performance".
