Denuvo, currently the most hated name in videogame DRM, has plans to expand into a new form of gaming protection: anti-cheat. The company’s cheat protections are scheduled to launch soon, but we don’t know what games will make use of it or exactly what sort of measures it will take.
It will fail anyways, im pretty sure about it since hackdevs are really smart these days when it comes to get the needed info they want. So many hacks are these days external and Denuvo cant deny the read access on the RAM.

Its just a silly attempt to get attention IMO.
Process memory is hard to access if the process is running in kernel mode and any driver running in kernel mode trying to access it gets blocked/gets you banned.
Of course, they will use it for singleplayer games. The publishers wanna sell you loot boxes and shit, they can't have you cheating and getting stuff for free!

There is always a way as long you are Admin of the Maschine.
Havent found any new English talking articles but they announced it again now on GDC.
The Ones from the 1st post are the announcement, now they launched it at GDC.

Unlike other products, Denuvo Anti-Cheat operates on the binary, not the source code and integrates directly into the product build process. It also does not interfere with debuggers, instrumentation tools, or profilers and it does not require APIs or SDKs. This means fewer tools for the build engineers to manage and for developers to install
Sounds like trash to me, how is it be able to do its magic then ?
Also seems they are mostly aiming esports anyways.

Reinhard Blaukovitsch, Managing Director of Denuvo, Irdeto, said:
“Cheating ruins video games for honest players. This can lead to lower game traffic and shrinking revenues for game publishers. Cheating also has a major impact on the esports market, where significant prizes are on the line. It’s time to level the playing field. The launch of our Anti-Cheat solution, as well as our involvement in the Esports Integrity Coalition, underpins our commitment to eliminating cheating in both video games and esports.”
Highlights
• Denuvo DRM protects total revenue from piracy by a mean of 15% and a median of 20%.
• Piracy causes mean total revenue to decrease by 20% when Denuvo is cracked quickly.
• Piracy causes zero mean total revenue loss when Denuvo survives for 12 weeks or more.
• The characteristics of a game cannot explain its likelihood of being cracked.
Yeah, but again, what is the comparison against? Cause games don't sell the same, depending on genre, ip, and a bunch of other factors drop-off in sales won't be the same either. Like, I don't see how you get the 20% or any realistic number.

Of course, they check the multiverses where the same game has been released without D and compare with out Universe! Think before you talk!
if studios figure out it doesn't pay off to keep paying for D* subscription after a given period of time we might see a brighter future one day
and tbh judging by latest big game releases, after twelve weeks the releases are at least in a somewhat playable state -- pirates win
They don't care as long as they make good revenue. If they lost more on paying for Denuvo than they're making they would either remove it or just don't use it.
