    Most of a game’s sales tend to be in the first few weeks, so the thinking is that even if it’s defeatable, Denuvo’s track record of taking weeks to months to crack (before the hypervisor exploit) made it worth adding to a game. If the only way to play the game while everyone’s still talking about it is to pay, their hope is that enough pirates will buy it to offset the massive Denuvo licensing costs.
