DRM has never stopped me from pirating a game, but multiple times it stopped me from buying it.

I mean, it literally stops you from pirating uncracked games.

until they are inevitably cracked (which has been done with many denuvo games already) and pirates enjoy better performance once again.

That’s the (unknown) future. But currently they are not cracked. Hence you can’t pirate them.

I used to pirate back in the day and the fact that you no longer had updates or fixes was a huge issue. It’s actually the number one reason I no longer pirate games. It’s not worth my time or frustration to deal with a virus, bad crack or crashing game. Also since I stopped pirating I’ve had exactly 0 malware/trojan infections.

The only one I know is Street Fighter 6 (over a year after release too) but I’m sure there’s at least two others. Your point is made, however.

Far Cry 6, Nier: Replicant, RE Village, Hogwarts Legacy, etc. Source: https://gamerswiki.net/has-any-denuvo-game-been-cracked/

Edit: The first three games I listed came from the subreddit mentioned in the article.
