Oh look, Denuvo playing the victim.

And it exemplifies rather well why I hate the word "toxic": bad reputation? Toxic! Criticism? Toxic!

Bullshitting like «it's in part because it "simply works" and would-be pirates are trying to make it unattractive to game publishers by disparaging it.»? Noooo that is not toxic because it aligns with the discourse that Denuvo wants to spread, right?

"I'm with the company for such a long time," said Ullmann. "The guys here are like my family, because a lot of the others here are also here for ages. It just hurts to see what's posted out there about us, even though it has been claimed wrong for hundreds of times."

"Insert personal story to make it look like you aren't criticising software; no, you're criticising a family. You monster~

When a plant or an animal is toxic, very often it's a defense mechanism.
