I’m sorry to pop your bubble but while Denuvo sucks for consumers, it actually works at least on the PC front. Many cracks you would see require emulators since the pc ports are pretty solidly protected. Like Total war warhammer 3 is still uncracked after 2 years.
That’s because there aren’t many Denuvo crackers out there (most notably Empress) and unless it’s a huge title or a new title it’s not going to be a priority for the rare few that do it. Empress has her followers vote on what to crack next.
Related to why FitGirl doesn’t generally do repacks of games using Denuvo, as FitGirl and Empress have a sort of ongoing feud that leads to FitGirl not using Empress cracks.
They also tell you if a game has had Denuivo in the past and has removed it, in case you don’t just want to avoid Denuivo but developers who use it or ever did in the past.
It’s so frustrating that Japanese developers are either so out of the loop with treating PC gamers with a iota of respect, OR they get contracts that they don’t understand that fuck over real buyers.
I’d also recommend joining GamesThatHateYou and following the curator since it’ll tell you if a game stopped using Denuivo or just switched to a different but similarly terrible DRM.

Fucking Denuvo lol. Capitalist pigs answer to getting people to buy shit they wouldn’t have in the first place.
Obligatory https://stopkillinggames.com/.
Sad DRM noises. Just wait till Denuvo gets bought out or closes.
Goddammit I hate that I laughed at this.
Pirate sea shanty being sung in the background as pirates break the DRM and have a better experience than people that actually paid for the game

For anyone who wants to avoid games that do this kind of shit I can’t recommend the following steam curators enough.

The game is Persona 5 Royal
I really wanted to play that but now I seem to have lost all interest. Oh well.

Have ya seen what Nintendo does to its fans?
Thank you !
Don’t. buy. games. with. Denuvo. (or any DRM, but Denuvo is the worst)
Most titles on GOG and itch.io are DRM-free. You can also subscribe to this Steam group to see which games use Denuvo and avoid them.

Thanks, that’s a great resource.
Oh no. Anyway…
