Gotta love DRM that makes paid versions of games worse than pirated stuff.

    Malicious software that harms your computer’s performance and security, and prevents you from inspecting and modifying the application, is evil.

    This is fearmongering. What is always left out of these conversations is exactly how Denuvo is a security risk, which is a tech question of this particular software and not a philosophical one. And I’ll be frank with you, I think people vastly overstate how much of a problem Denuvo is as a piece of software.

      I’m going to just go ahead and pretend that you politely asked me to explain the problem, instead of incorrectly insulting me.

      Denuvo is a security risk because it runs code in kernel mode. Running anything in kernel mode is a security risk, and unlike device drivers, that risk is not justified for DRM.
