Why are they so desperate to be liked by users? Their whole mission is anti-user. Their job is to scrutinize paying users and take away the softest they bought when something isn't right. Of course they are not liked, they are the bouncer at the disco sending people away based on their feeling.

I think either games with Denuvo sell worse, or it's just the bad image that affects their ability to sell Denuvo to more publishers and developers.

They are also apparently planning to sell anti cheat, so probably want to fix their image.

Theres a subset of users who refuse to play a game with denuvo drm, but are okay with other milder forms of drm (e.g account based drm, or even other hardware based ones like Arxam)

Thr biggest offenders for hardware based ones are usually Denuvo and VMProtect
