I find the dynamic between passionate hackers doing it for free against paid DRM writers to be very interesting, gets to show you how passion for problem solving can sometimes trump people writing software for money no matter the money involved

I think it’s just much harder to write effective DRM than to break it.

Devs keep using denuvo though, precisely because crackers aren't trumping the denuvo devs.

Like, everything gets cracked at some point, that's not a failure. Denuvo holds up for months, and games are like movies in the sense that the opening week is really important, then everything trails off from there.

No one has ever written bug free code. Lots of people have found bugs in code. That's all I think the difference is.

Crackers also do it for money
