the crack is basically installing a rootkit

So is denuvo.

I trust the random cracker's rootkit more than denuvo's.

Potential evil is less risky than proven, official, completely intentional evil.

Still, I have no interest in playing games infected with this shit. Their developers have evidently no interest in making good or even playable games, or they wouldn't infect them with this performance and usability killing malware, so to the blacklist they and their whole publisher go, cracked or not.
