Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future, fight for that.”

Hating is a strong word. Dislike, maybe.

even if they do hate it and consider it to be the work of the devil, they still don't really have a choice, game development is a really competitive industry, if devs aren't leaving their jobs when the studio makes them overwork 80 hour work weeks right before release for a month in order to hit the deadline then they're definitely not leaving just because they hate having to implement denuvo.
