Specifically, he wanted to see if he could prove that Denuvo kills performance as much as many people believe.
This can be done without cracking it. There have been several games that have removed this DRM, as well as some who have added it post-publication. Benchmarks between versions should highlight the performance issues.
Facts. His claim of there being no performance impact is especially dubious because A) he didn’t actually remove it, he bypassed an authentication step and B) The ‘only checks every few seconds and at level loads’ is only the parts he definitively recognized as part of denuvo. At best, he only proved that denuvo removed by a 3rd party is no more a performance hit than leaving it running, and it’s more likely that all he proved is that this method of bypassing denuvo provides no performance gains. I’m sure it was neat as a project, but this comes off to a 3rd party like some ‘we investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing’ shit.
