In our chat, Huin implied that this kind of public analysis was not very useful because "gamers [almost] never get access to the same version of [a game] protected and unprotected. There might be over the lifetime of the game a protected and unprotected version, but these are not comparable because these are different builds over six months, many bug fixes, etc., which could make it better or worse."

So they are literally trying to say that Denuvo isn't the cause of performance slowdowns, because patches to the game since the version that got cracked made the game that much slower?
