New Denuvo protection lasts longer than its predecessors
Denuvo, recently protects games with a new version 4.7, and it seems to hold. Example, Assasin's Creed Origins has not yet been cracked.
The game is protected not only by Denuvo but also through of VMProtect. Lots of end-users have however been complaining about silly high CPU loads during their gaming session. The combo of Denuvo and VMProtect seems to be a winning one. Also Ubisoft’s Watch_Dogs 2 is protected by the new Denuvo version, and also hasn’t been cracked.
Typically games are cracked within a few days, hence this news jumps out of the ordinary, no Denuvo protected games being cracked within a month is odd. A Chinese game cracking group called 3DM even stated the copy protection could end game piracy.

Seriously, people who pirate your game don't want to buy your game.
However people who pirate your game and enjoy it may buy your game if it's good, because they want to support you and perhaps because of some extra online features. This is exactly what I'm doing with Witcher 3, those guys just deserve my money even though I've already finished the pirated game. I pirated it because such RPGs are usually not my thing and I wasn't even gonna try the game, let alone buy it. Yet CDPR turned me from a pirate of their game into a customer simply because their game is more than great.
When will this pointless fight against piracy stop? This version of Denuvo will get cracked (even if it takes more than a few days) and they'll have to spend money on developing a new one, the cycle that's been set until now will continue and nothing will change.
Meanwhile this type of DRM is anti-consumer and I will never ever support any company which supports such practices. If your DRM-ridden game is good, I will pirate it so I won't have to deal with that crap. You're not only wasting money on useless sh!t, you're also losing customers in the process.
The gaming industry has become a bit better lately compared to a few years ago but it's still a joke when you take companies like Ubisoft and EA into account. I honestly hope they go bankrupt, especially EA which has killed numerous studios with their retarded practices.

It's funny when this "pirating" is done not to avoid paying for the game... but to avoid paying for electricity (and air conditioning electricity) because the DRM is pushing CPU to 100%...
I mostly play single player games, which I buy, but then when crack is out I play that version simply because I don't want to be online while gaming (looking at you Steam), or use shitty DRM-infected launchers.
... or, if available there, buy from GOG instead. That's fine. Love them <3

GOG is nice for that.
but on other hand the DRM use insinificant ressource compared to the game itself (and i use most of the time I3 and below... so really few ressource).
