A brief history of Denuvo DRM and the new hypervisor bypass — inside the cat-and-mouse game between Denuvo and the piracy scene

The article discusses the history of Denuvo DRM and the recent hypervisor bypass that has rendered Denuvo's anti-tamper protection ineffective. The hypervisor bypass allows pirates to release DRM-free versions of AAA games on release day, posing a significant threat to Denuvo and its parent company, Irdeto. The bypass involves disabling Windows security features and installing a scene-made hypervisor, potentially exposing systems to security risks. Despite Denuvo's efforts to enhance security without impacting gamers, the cat-and-mouse game between Denuvo and piracy continues, impacting game sales and performance.
