DRM has never stopped me from pirating a game, but multiple times it stopped me from buying it.
I mean, it literally stops you from pirating uncracked games.
Name 3 uncracked games.
Far Cry 6, Nier: Replicant, RE Village, Hogwarts Legacy, etc. Source: https://gamerswiki.net/has-any-denuvo-game-been-cracked/
Edit: The first three games I listed came from the subreddit mentioned in the article.
... I hate to out myself here but I have played some of those games cracked.
I mean there was even a whole thing on Far cry 6 running better cracked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLnGG92usI
And RE Village https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSMXhdPeCfk And Hogwarts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y_bab5wtHY
I looked up Nier: Replicant and yeah, also cracked (I will not share as I think that breaks rules)
EDIT: Also in the link you provided:
"Did Hogwarts Legacy remove Denuvo?
Notorious game cracker has removed Denuvo from Hogwarts Legacy after just two weeks."
Hey, I don't judge. I might only pirate media I've already bought (like when I couldn't find my copy of a movie) but firmly agree with Gabe Newell that piracy is a service issue first and foremost. Additionally if you can't own the game you buy I can't view it as stealing. If there is a crack for Civ 7 or Dragons Dogma 2, I'll probably buy a copy then get the cracked version for performance.
I for sure play HL cracked days after release. I haven't touched the others though.
I'll name you 10: Street Fighter 6, Star Wars Squadrons, Star Wars jedi survivor, Persona 3 Reloaded, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Like A Dragon Gaiden - The Man Who Erased His Name Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Persona 5 Tactica Dragon's Dogma 2 Assassins Creed Mirage
The only one I know is Street Fighter 6 (over a year after release too) but I'm sure there's at least two others. Your point is made, however.
