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.

    Does it get in their way?

    Yes it does. DRM-infested games are not purchases, they are leases for an undetermined period. If you run out of activations or the servers close, your game is forfeit. Many games requiring online activation are unplayable by legitimate means today.

    Well, it's still better than "buying" digital videos on Amazon.
    Their terms actually say right there "we do not promise the content will be available in any region, including the one you buy it for and including when you buy it".
    That's basically saying "feel free to leave your money, but we don't actually promise you will get anything at all in return".
    At that point I just decided to put them into the "not worth even considering" list.
