THAT was the one part I think is a worthwhile point though.

Anyone reading anything on the internet should have some suspicion towards profit motivations, both for companies and for everyone else. It makes sense that if someone is a pirate annoyed at the need to pay for uncrackable games, they’d have something to gain from disparaging Denuvo past what’s truthful.

We’re in a world where racists have now hidden their agendas behind “I’m just against needless DEI in games” every time there’s a non-white protagonist, and people already have to filter that all out. That’s not saying everyone with a certain message is automatically lying (I will admit, I have my own bias too), just that it’s worth looking at the merit of their argument.
