MODERATORS
Lots of game developers started off as hobbyist modders when they were young. Maybe they're trying to eliminate the future competition. More likely, Denuvo's actual primary purpose is DRM and anti-cheat is just how it's sold to players.
Something I often find myself explaining to my friends who I game with is just how much objectively terrible shit you can get gamers to not only tolerate, but support as long as you promise to "get rid of cheaters"... which is a hopeless goal. It took a lot of explaining to get them to accept my argument of "I would literally prefer cheaters over a new root kit for every game"
