No it hasn’t.

This is not even remotely true and is not based in any kind of reality.
- Neonlicht 2y agoBack in the day when piracy was quite literally just copy and paste it was a very active scene. But cracking Denuvo takes real skill- and there's no financial reward in it. Back in the 90s bootleg DVDs and CD-ROMs had organised crime making money from it.
- rescbr 2y agoExactly. Cracking Denuvo as a hobby is not something a sane person would do, and the downsides if caught are higher when one is fully employed. At least to me, a decade has passed since I left college and had spare time and energy to tackle such projects just for cred.
- winocm 2y agoI took a cursory look at breaking it and it seems rather trivial in retrospect, just annoying at best since you have to rebuild the executable’s imports, relocations and section headers, along with removing the giant bloat sections that they add (seriously, when the main .text section of a game is 4MB, and then their extra obfuscation sections end up being over 250MB, something is ridiculously wrong.)
