Why are they so desperate to be liked by users? Their whole mission is anti-user. Their job is to scrutinize paying users and take away the softest they bought when something isn't right. Of course they are not liked, they are the bouncer at the disco sending people away based on their feeling.

Why are they so desperate to be liked by users?
I think either games with Denuvo sell worse, or it's just the bad image that affects their ability to sell Denuvo to more publishers and developers.
They are also apparently planning to sell anti cheat, so probably want to fix their image.
Theres a subset of users who refuse to play a game with denuvo drm, but are okay with other milder forms of drm (e.g account based drm, or even other hardware based ones like Arxam)
Thr biggest offenders for hardware based ones are usually Denuvo and VMProtect
There are already independent benchmarks from real gamers that tested games with Denuvo and when it got patched out. Guess what, Denuvo causes massive performance issues and bloated the size of the game.
I bet those "independent" benchmarks are cherry picked with exactly a specific hardware especially optimized for it with the help from Denuvo developers.
Yikes. Won't go well for them.
How will we be sure we can trust their benchmarks?
