Denuvo's quest to improve its reputation with PC gamers is personal.

I haven't bought a Denuvo-protected game in about a decade, and that isn't going to change.

Denuvo-~~protected~~infested

FTFY. The notion that Denuvo "protects" anything whatsoever is itself accidental pro-Denuvo loaded language.

Unrelated, but I just figured out what FTFY means thanks to your comment.

Nah, that's a dumb take. Denuvo does protect from casual piracy - even if only temporarily - that's why companies use it.

It also negatively affects legit consumers, and that is the problem - these publishers have decided that potential profit matters more than actual, realized customers.
