As long as it's as effective as it is, they'll keep using it.
For example, the latest FIFA game that was cracked is FIFA 19. The rest are still safe thanks to Denuvo.
Yeah, but that might just be that no one cares enough about the FIFA games to waste energy cracking them, not because of Denuvo specifically.
FIFA is one of the most popular game in Brazil, a country of over 200 million people. I doubt it's a matter of little interest.
It really is that Denuvo is effective at preventing cracking.
Brazil isn't particularly known for wealthy people. The one person/group doing Denuvo these days wants a bunch of money per game.
Aren't they extremely popular still...? Highest selling sport series of all-time from what I can see. Certainly not as liked these days though, that's true.
Yeah but it took the Hogwarts game like a week to be cracked with the most restrictive denuvo in place. If there's demand for it someone will crack it.
They're popular among a different crowd than those who would go online to talk about video games.
Just because they aren't on gaming sites it doesn't mean they aren't looking for cracks.
Yes, after all, the Fifa crowd were more than happy with microtransactions.
Porting that monetisation policy to Battlefront 2, well, we saw how that turned out.
Think FIFA's popularity also stems from FUT, which I guess won't work with a cracked version. So FIFA's real DRM is via a popular feature that requires account registration for microtransactions.
If enough people want a game with denuvo to be cracked, it gets cracked.
