Kudos to Ars Technica to interviewing the Devil. The comments section of that post is *not *kind.

    They can fuck right off. Their approach about how emulation is evil was ratio’d big time on Twitter, do they really think people believe a dime what they’re saying?

    Gamers: We’ve removed you DRM and gotten better performance, your DRM is obviously causing a hit

    Denuvo: Nuh uh

    Like seriously we’re not gonna find out? The fact that the DRM has been bypassed means it’s useless anyway. All it does it hurt paying customers

    What grinds my gears with all the people (whether Denuvo officials or elsewhere) that claim that it has no effect on performance: they only focus on average FPS. Never a consideration for FPS lows or FPS time spent on frames that took more than N milliseconds. Definitely not any look at loading times.

    I’m willing to believe a good implementation of Denuvo has a negligible impact on average FPS. I think every time I saw anyone test loading times though, it had a clear and consistent negative impact. I’ve never seen anyone check FPS lows (or similar) but with the way Denuvo works I expect it’s similar.

    Performance is more than average framerate and they hide behind a veil of pretending that it is the totality of all performance metrics.
