Hogwarts Legacy gains 30% without Denuvo

And this ladies and gentleman is why people don't release games on PC the pirate platform. They complain about devs protecting their game and then when they break these protections they aren't even satisfied.

This is one of those situations where pirating the game makes more sense than buying it.
Denuvo is trash.
It never makes sense to steal from devs, either buy the game on console or deal with the PC performance which is still playable.
PC releases are now more popular than ever, try again.
And PC babies are crying harder about how horrible those ports are, so try again.

And you're in here complaining when someone fixes those problems...
For the record, I don't usually advocate piracy, especially when it's avaliable on Steam. I'm just showing how bad, and ultimately worthless denuvo is.
You just said that people don't put games on PC because of piracy but that line of thought is a decade or more out of date. Even Sony, who really have no conceivable reason to put games out on it, do. So, as I said originally, try again.
1) Sony games are constantly pirated and sell poorly on PC, so not a flex. and 2) PC constantly getting shitty console ports of games that run poorly is also not a flex and is driving people away from PC gaming. Denuvo largely fixed the piracy problem for AAA publishers, but trust if the resurgence of Denuvo cracking comes back like it has for Atomic heart and Hogwarts, you will start seeing those day 1 PC releases becoming fewer and fewer. So, like I said, try again.
I will, once again, reiterate my initial point that you have never once even tried to refute. PC ports are not, in fact, not happening because of piracy and are actually more common than they have ever been at any time in the past. Try. Again.

You're really out of touch if you think denuvo cracking is a new thing...
Denuvo cracking resurgence is the key word you didn't read. We all know Denuvo can be cracked, but mostly after the launch window and is only performed by 1 cracker.
And it was my error I don't think Atomic Heart got cracked, I think the video I saw was some dev build of the game without Denuvo. My point still stands, all you PC players have Denuvo to thank and how it effectively protects games' launch window as to why you guys are even getting console sloppy seconds at all.
It’s funny how the PC Hamster Race never miss an opportunity to show us what a bunch of entitled little bitches they are, isn’t it?
Denuvo doesn't get cracked.. it gets bypassed. When denuvo is bypassed it still runs on the PC. This thread is based off of false info and what is really happening in the video is that the person applied a mod to the "denuvo-less" version which alters ini settings to increase performance without much visual difference.

Wouldn't work. Some games on steam already have that, and it can easily be either patched out or you can mislead the game using what is essentially a steam emulator (not going to share the name). There's a big cat and mouse game being played for PC games.
Really? Wasn't aware of that.
In the case of this game though, I'm pretty sure it's just bypassed.. so the performance impact (if there is one) is still there. This is just using a mod that reduces some ini settings to improve performance.
That said, Denuvo, and DRM in general CAN contribute to stuttering in games.. so it's a cancer all the same.
I understand why Denuvo is necessary for a lot of publishers.. and I think it does help with the initial bulk sales of games.. but I think devs should commit to maybe 1 or 2 months max with Denuvo and then remove it. Not only for the potential improved performance, but also for the sake of preservation.

We were told, during the piracy scare of 04, that pirating and illegally downloading films, music and games would damage the industry. When I look at the film, music and gaming industry of today, with its throw-away experiences, talentless obscenity-laden dross and predatory practices, broken releases and uninspired works, one has to wonder if piracy was all that bad?
It's funny in how in just over a decade, piracy went from normal to social unacceptable, all the while the 'poor' 'struggling' industry conned millions into pouring billions into their coffers, for little more than empty promises.
