DRM currently works very well to prevent copying of PC games during initial sales window. There is a long list of not cracked Denuvo games. Some have been on the list for years.
I think it is interesting that this is the case now since 5+ years ago games were cracked within days, always.
- cloogshicer 5y agoI think part of this change is just that there is such a high number of new games coming out every day. Also, with sales going on all the time, there is much less incentive for many people to torrent. It's also more convenient to own the game on Steam due to automatic updates, mods, etc. As Gabe Newell said, piracy is a service problem. Provide a better service and it'll go away. I think this is largely what has happened here. Same with streaming services like Netflix.

The "high number of new games coming out every day" are overwhelmingly indie titles that don't use denuvo. It's not like crackers are being overwhelmed with hundreds of indie titles per year.
- cloogshicer 5y agoThat's a good counter point. Hadn't considered it. Thanks!
