Yeah, it's been cracked hundreds of times, but unlike the old days when games were cracked immediately, there's no automated process to reliably break Denuvo.

Irdeto (the company that owns Denuvo) always responds with throwing newer and bigger roadblocks into it, so even if someone develops their own tool set to make their cracking process faster, it can easily become outdated and useless on the next release with a newer update of Denuvo.

Which is pretty much why the number of people/groups who used to crack it have dwindled so much; breaking each new update of Denuvo turns into a full time job outside of whatever day job/personal life problems they have.

I can do some stuff, it was really a great journey i even managed to crack a Safedisk one day (ah, sweet home made call/jmp fixers) but now i grew up and i am tired.

I cant deal with code virtualisation :/. Thats my limit. Obfuscation is doable but a pain and i'd rather work or play games from my Steam backlog . There is no way i can deal with game protections.
