Denuvo wants to convince you its DRM isn’t “evil”

COO says coming benchmarks will show anti-piracy tech has no performance impact.

@arstechnica There is more at stake than performance issues.
Their DRM is closed source and quite secretive concerning its operation. For that, it obtains extensive access to everything that run on the machine.

Even if it is not malevolent, I am sure it is not bug-free...

This ^ 1000%. It's only a matter of time before there is an exploit that piggybacks on a bullshit shortcut that some overworked dev implemented just so they could have 15 extra minutes of downtime during their 80 hour work week.
