Just curious what everyone's thoughts are, anyone think some older games might start removing it? I was surprised looking through new game torrents getting reminded of all the games that had denuvo that I forgot about.

i don't think they're gonna stop using it. This hypervisor bypass is about the most dangerous thing you could use and it will be used to gain persistent root access to the machine of any fool who runs one of these.

Previous cracks are highly likely to contain malware and shit too, but that can be defanged to some degree using sandboxing and vms and the like. This cannot be run in a vm or sandbox. It not only grants kernel access to your machine, but it could install rootkits in your EFI partitions and even access other drives or potentially sneak into other machines on your network. This shit is nuts and it is insanely stupid to run.

Denuvo will use the fallout from what is coming to further bolster the market.
