The cracks, they don't remove our protection. The cracks still have all our code in and all our code is executed. There is even more code on top of the cracked code - that is executing on top of our code, and causing even more stuff to be executed. So there is technically no way that the cracked version is faster than the uncracked version

That's some bigly code there.

The code is there, yes, but it's skipped entirely, so the binary size stays the same, but it's faster because it skips parts. The big brain on the person that wrote that must also tell him that skipping a scene on a movie means the movie takes the same time because it's the entirety of the movie plus the skipping of the scene.

Even though I think the Denuvo criticism is often poorly founded, I completely agree his quote there was terribly formed. I can only imagine some of his engineers shaking their head at that interview going “That’s not how code works…”

This quote gives confirmation he is indeed a Project Manager.
