Ah, Denuvo; the anti-tamper tech that a lot of gamers hate. And while some people may claim that this attitude comes from the fact that the games powered by it are hard to crack, the latest triple-A game powered by it, PREY, has already been cracked.
While it did not break the record for the fastest Denuvo-powered game cracked, it’s a real surprise that the latest, and more powerful, version of the Denuvo is unable to protect these games for more than ten days.
For what it’s worth, Resident Evil VII remains the fastest cracked Denuvo-powered game as it was cracked in just five days, while Mass Effect: Andromeda is close to PREY as it was cracked in ten – more or less – days.

DRM irritates the honest customers. Those who absolutely want to pirate, are going to get cracked versions anyway.
Could they just stop?

DRM is a buisness in and on itself. It's a digital version of snake oil, just that in this case not only is the offered cure fake, the disease it claims to cure is fake too.

Reminds me of the zika scare. The tests for the virus were non specific (picking up dengue fever et al), the "disease" was not a disability (micrencephaly is associated with disability, not microcephaly; and even that connection is dubious), and the treatment was abortions...

*facepalm*
According to Wik... never mind. Wikipedia is in on the conspiracy too isn't it. Can we even trust the Oxford English Dictionary??? This is clearly a plot by the lizard people, who are beaming authentic copies of the OED out of libraries everywhere and replacing all 20 volumes of the OED with a doctored version so they can perform ABORTIONS!!! ABORTiONS!!!!! ABoRTiOnSSSSS!!!!!one!!eleven!!!!
Because an intelligent but malevolent species visiting our planet from 308 light years away in order to kill all humans and take it over, a space-faring civilization that has ansibles and transporters, and the BEST plan they can come up with is some convoluted etymological strategy to convince people to have ABORTIONS!!!!!!!! (just checked the OED and "ABORTIONS!!!!!!!" has been spelled that way with several exclamation marks since a usage in 1623, from Middle English, then Old French, and the original Greek root word which only had two exclamation points... huh, thought it was Latin, but my OED says it's Greek so must check out).
Note: I did not claim that the lizard people don't exist. I'm simply ridiculing the idea that the lizard people wouldn't just drop a very large mass from orbit and be done with it and instead engage in some crazy conspiracy.... Ridiculous.
Note on the note: The lizard people are actually quite nice once you get to know them.
Note on the note on the note: We apologize for the fault in the notes. Those responsible have been sacked.
Note: My sister was bit by a lizard persøn once.

Paying the development studios directly via crowdfunding, and as a result of their patronage be required to only sell copies of the game DRM free, bound by a legal statement on their crowdfunding page stating so, with penalties if they don't.
Until then we will remain with the same sick gaming ecosystem that we have had since the shareware indie scene dried up back in the late 90s.

The only way they'll stop is if you educate the SHAREHOLDERS that the DRM is doing nothing but costing them money.

Not all of them [reddit.com]. More than half of Denuvo protected games remain uncracked. There are certainly some online only games in there, but many are notable releases worth playing in single player.
Could they just stop?
Only if a good chunk of the consumer base stops buying DRM-infested games. It would take a major culture shift among gamers for that to happen, so don't hold your breath.

It's like masturbation..
They don't want to admit in public that they do it.
It is legal but they hate to talk about it.
They assume you will like it if you try it.
Some people consider it, DRM, unethical and immoral, but they don't care.
They keep doing it until someone or thing forces them to stop.
It can make your computer go blind.
It is a waste of energy with no product.
Until proven otherwise they will continue to assume people like taking it up the ass when it is not required needed or wanted.
