I love to see it, but publishers will still consider this a win for DRM. The vast majority of sales for most games happen in the first few weeks after release, so 13 days without a crack might be considered worth the cost of Denuvo in exec’s minds. They’ll only panic if it’s available on day one, like with that hypervisor bypass that made headlines recently.
I think they’d be at least slightly bothered by Hypervisor being day-one, to the best of my knowledge, even if full cracks aren’t. For those who’re willing, it still allows games to be played at launch. I bet there are some firm words being exchanged in the C-suite recently, trying to pressure Denuvo into “getting it sorted”.
