That would certainly make me request a refund and just pirate the game.
There are no groups currently cracking Denuvo.
In that case, request a refund and just forget about the game. It's that little bit worse for the publisher who chose Denuvo.
Doubt it.
Now that it's much harder to crack they'll sell more. So many thiefs out there with plenty of money to burn who choose not to because they can get away with it.
Are the thieves with plenty of money to burn in the room with you, right now? Can you point them out? Where did they hurt you? Was it actually EA or Ubisoft but you're scared to let us know? Was it Paradox's DLC scheme, or Total War? Are they the ones who really hurt you? It's ok. You're in a safe space. The AI generated loot skins can't hurt you, here.
