Nah, that’s a dumb take. Denuvo does protect from casual piracy - even if only temporarily - that’s why companies use it.
It also negatively affects legit consumers, and that is the problem - these publishers have decided that potential profit matters more than actual, realized customers.
Why not both?
I’m guessing B will happen first, just because we have so much more control of the environment, but we’re still so far away from either one… Maybe I’ll get to see the early stages sometime in my life.
