New game releases with newly-revamped Denuvo protection, and new cracked versions of those games - all in less than five days after release. For now, only Metro Exodus is cracked, though the fact that Far Cry New Dawn makes use of the same version does little to inspire confidence in its continued resistance.  
 
Most Denuvo-protected games have been cracked in less than a week after release, and things haven't been improving for some time now. Whether or not it makes sense to keep a team of software engineers working on such a product is also a question that would be well-posed to Denuvo. But not only Denuvo and its DRM solutions are falling short, since it seems that Microsoft's own UWP-protected Crackdown 3, which finally released after a very early 2015 reveal, has also been cracked.

    I wonder if the people cracking these DRM protection programs are being paid off to do so. Wouldn't be a surprise really.

    Great. Time to buy an RTX card. :D
    (Hope Far Cry New Dawn will be "freed" soon.)

    Anymore I believe the people cracking DRM have gotta be inside work by rogue employees. They just get cracked so fast.
