If Denuvo copy protection is cracked quickly, studios and publishers lose 20 per cent of their revenue. This is the result of a new study. It also states that no more financial losses can be recognised twelve weeks after release.

Volckmann has also investigated whether there is a connection between the type of game and the speed at which it is cracked. However, he was unable to find any such correlation.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
