I’m not well versed in how Denuvo works, only in how it tanks performance. Does anyone know if there is anything stopping Denuvo from checking purchase validity the first time, and on subsequent game launches it can access a secure folder with a file like an internet cookie saying “yeah, this game was bought legit at one point, let it run” and then not run alongside the game?
That would be entirely too easily bypassed. Also, afaik, it’s kinda what Denuvo does when it’s offline. You can take a file from a legitimate install- I don’t know how/which one- and put it in a pirated copy and Denuvo will work fine… for two days. Then the little certificate or w.e. expires, and you’ve gotta get another one.

Well such a cookie could probably be copied by pirates as well
