I’ve literally never seen a defense of denuvo by anyone other than those implementing it lol

The argument is that it delays crackers long enough that some day-one pirates buy the game instead.

It's impossible to test this experimentally, so we can't say if it's true or not. But that's the claim. I'm sure there's some truth to it, but some pirates will just wait until it's cracked or removed.

Most of the people who shill for DRM are such sad and pathetic trolls that they usually get banned from most sensible communities and platforms, there are still a good amount on Reddit but even there they often get buried with downvotes.
