The Switch is so hacked wide open at this point, I doubt it will make any change.

The irony is, that emulation IS effective method to crack and bypass lots of DerpNuvo functions so far, the main issue is the huge amount of triggers.

This won’t affect piracy on a real Nintendo switch, only emulators.

Probably. The real console won't be able to run the denuvo code because of Nintendo blocking most stuff. Emulators don't block anything and most likely they are not perfect 1:1 of the console. I'm sure they are relying on the fact an emulator is not "protected" and can run anything thrown at it.
That being said, if a console can ignore this code, most likely an emulator can too eventually.

I find that decision by Nintendo very weird.

The console is already in the mid-late in it's life time, the vast majority of the relevant titles are already out.

Denuvo MAY make things harder to emulate, but they won't succeed preventing at bypassing it eventually, the console is just too wide open and very documented for that.

Nintendo is probably desperate about the amount of piracy and emulation, and that fact that their hands are tied when it comes to battling emulation which is by itself legal.

somebody on Denuvo marketed it well enough for Nintendo to jump on it with their usual greed, nothing weird about it, typical Nintendo move.

What I do like about the press release, that Denuvo themselves basically admitting Denuvo ultimately failure, "Switch emulation to bypass our protection".

Sure, they managed to make stuffs harder to crack, but we are mostly talking on "classic" crack.

There already methods since Denuvo existence to bypass it, Denvuo less exes from leaks or Demos, the famous "ticket" method which is still works great, AND Switch emulation.

While not day one, Denuvo games are getting fully cracked more frequently, and there are even hints on projects being worked on relating to Denuvo.

So in the end, Denuvo is very flawed and exploitable copy protection, and because they way it works, there are things that cannot really be patched, like the ticket method and exe leaks.

Actually, lots of other games as well, some which weren't cracked till they got Denuvo removed.

It was not Nintendo decision. Denuvo just did another communicate saying it's publishers who asked and not Nintendo.

I think Sega is one of the publisher, along maybe Warner Bros.
Sega was probably pissed off Sonic Origins was pirated by playing it on NSW emu, just like it's gonna be with Sonic Frontiers. For WB, Hogwarts Legacy will have Denuvo most likely. Gearbox is also releasing Tales of the Borderlands 2, and they are using Denuvo. All 3 publishers most likely pressured Denuvo to also secure the NSW versions too.

Seems like Nintendo isn't actually involved with the decision, just the 3rd part publishing partners that want it on their games.

Well, that makes more sense. Still idiotic tho...

At dev companies, its never the smartest, but the best paid people that makes these decisions.
