If it's a question of installing a rootkit belonging to either the evil pirates who are closer to my kind of evil, or evil corporations who are literally destroying the internet, civilization, and the world in order to masturbate in their AI training gulags with my personal data? I'd choose to trust the pirates every time.

That said, if I have to install a rootkit from anyone to play a fucking game, I'm probably just not playing that fucking game.

That's assuming they're just pirates, not state actors or hackers taking advantage of it. Still though, Denuvo is possibly assisting state actors too, so 🤷. The ideal solutions is just don't play games with Denuvo. It's not that difficult.

Lol that's not the question at all. People are making this into a false dichotomy. This is not a question of install denuvo or use the HV crack. Don't do either. Period.

These are both terrible for security. HV is worse as it goes deeper into your system and requires you to turn off a bunch of critical security features for it to work.
