Gotta love DRM that makes paid versions of games worse than pirated stuff.

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.

    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.

    They're popular among a different crowd than those who would go online to talk about video games.

    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.
