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.

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.
