Pirates are finding it harder to crack new PC games
While hackers from 3DM did break an early Denuvo-locked title, Dragon Age: Inquisition, the tech has been improved over the intervening year. It's nearly unheard of for PC games to remain uncracked for more than a few weeks -- often, they're broken before they even go on sale. If the recent Denuvo games remain locked for much longer, pirates may give up and either buy them on Steam or Origin or move on to something else. Suffice to say, the gaming industry will be keeping a close eye on what happens.

This is definitely a good thing, less pirates means more revenue for the companies which means better games and less crappy DLC.

gtapro151 sales will dip. I will not buy something i cant try first. We dont just download them to have them for free. Its hard to blindly throw away 60$. Its not like a movie a trailer just doesn't give the experience. plus you get no online with pirated versions.
I know a fair amount of people who pirate games and never buy the real version simply because they don't have to.

I love how they think the pirates will move on if they cant crack them..haha
If more devs use this method..they will go all out to crack and its just a matter of time before they find a way.
Its like a Cat and Mouse game..it goes back and forth but will never stop.

As said in the article, in a few years there will be no such thing as an uncracked game.
