We already have legit comparisons done by real people of the games from this year. Hogwarts Legacy for example has its frames nearly doubled without Denuvo. You can't place a security program inside someone's kernel, have it fuck every file, and then claim its not you.

People always make these claims but never provide any real proof. It's always some game of telephone where "my buddy saw some Twitter post referencing a YouTube video where Denuvo eats babies".

I'm not even claiming that it's a made up problem, but it's always the same vague references.

The benchmarks are proof. If they weren't, why would Denuvo want to provide their own doctored benchmarks to muddle the data?
