Denuvo's digital rights management anti-tamper tech (DRM, as it's most commonly known) is designed to prevent games from being pirated. It's not without its critics, but Denuvo itself now says "there is no uncrackable product".
In conversation with gamesindustry.biz, Denuvo's sales director Elmar Fischer says pirates are often driven by a desire to crack games quickly, and that, unlike the film industry, there aren't clear records relevant to videogame piracy.
