Except that time where legitmate customers were unable to play their games because of server issues with DRM.

Or the fact that it hampers official ports of games to Linux. But aside from that, there's no impact /s

Sadly, it doesn't make the paying customers STOP paying, which means it's just going to keep. F*cking. Happening.

Denuvo doesn’t hurt piracy. It hurts legitimate paying customers.

Like all DRM, really. Meanwhile, Good Old Games is doing just fine without any DRM to speak of, proving that it's of no benefit to anyone.
