You’re wrong. Denuvo isn’t removed from cracked games, just circumvented. When you play a cracked Dwnuvo game, Denuvo is still running while being tricked into thinking the game is legit. Besides this, we’ve seen time and time again already that Denuvo in fact doesn’t have an impact on performance, both in games that have had executables without it leaked and had it removed later on as it’s intended to be. At worst it increases the initial startup time of a game, but doesn’t affect your framerate once the game is up and running.
What does impact performance, however, is in-house anti-tamper/DRM bullshit and other insane practices that’s often implemented alongside Denuvo. Capcom is especially a bad offender here. To make a somewhat recent example, you know what made Resident Evil 8 run so badly? Among others, checking the list of available resolutions on every. Single. Frame. This and other dumb crap implemented by Capcom themselves was disabled in the cracked version and by using reframework, hence the cracked games runs better.
Everybody loves to circlejerk about how bad Denuvo is, but the reality is that it’s become a scapegoat taking attention away from the real issues with games.
