Does this mean it'll work under Linux/Proton since it's a (proper?) executable crack?

    I’ve been out of the scene for a while, are denuvo cracks happening more often now?

    Yes, apparently a custom hypervisor has been built that essentially allows you to bypass Denuvo on all games, but it appears that there's been good progress on removing Denuvo altogether again as well (like a more traditional crack).

    Do you know if ordinary users can ignore Denuvo on their own using this custom hypervisor, or do we still rely on cracks made by suspicious hackers?

    Have a read: https://fitgirl-repacks.site/hypervisor-guide/

    Under "What’s inside those cracks?" answer #2:

    The Crack/Bypass itself

    Consists of EXEs/DLLs, which does the actual Denuvo bypassing + other additional DLLs, like Goldberg Steam emulator to get past the underlying Steam protection.

    Those files work only for specific game versions, for which they were made. They won’t work on different game version or other games.

    So I guess they still need to do some manual cracking instead of just "running it with Hypervisor". Looking at the amount of Hypervisor repacks by FitGirl that are upcoming or have already been released, it seems it does make the cracking much easier. (I don't know specifics though).

    I wonder if the cost of licencing Denuvo outweighs the shrink from piracy...

    Add in the cost of interested people who move on when they see "Uses Denuvo DRM" or whatever it says on the steam page.

    I've got some games on my wishlist just to check back every now and then to see if they've removed it yet.
