The ongoing fight between crackers and DRM has reached a truly massive moment, as reportedly Denuvo DRM has been fully broken open in all games.

Denuvo DRM is generally pretty hated. Not just because of the limits it places on systems, but because of many reported performance issues that could be as a result of its inclusion in various games. In the past, Denuvo DRM was a pretty strong choice for publishers as it was difficult to crack open so pirates were always playing a long game of catch-up but it seems that's no longer the case. Enabling publishers to feel like they're protecting their initial sales revenue.

This is just a very late report on the hypervisor thing, it sounds like nothing new has been discovered.
