DRM like Denuvo has been cracked time and time again. There's a new anti-tamper technology called Valeroa. Valeroa "is not a DRM" and it doesn't affect the performance of games because "only a handful of functions are protected by Valeroa". This technique doesn't even require an internet connection, it doesn't read or write the hard drive continuously and "does not limit the number of daily installations or changes of hardware". The most interesting bit comes with its approach to the actual protection, which according to their developers Valeroa "is extremely difficult to crack before and closely after the game release date. The protection becomes a lot easier to crack after a predefined period". So the developers of this technique fully expect it to be cracked but only after a fairly long period after the game is available.

    I find it funny they use DRM on a game that people don't even want to steal.
