Can I just move fitgirl's .exe into the game I legitimately bought on Steam's folder and run it? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

long story short, I bought FFXV long before I cared about Denuvo but never played it, the game got cracked but Square Enix still haven't removed Denuvo from the game on Steam; now I don't want to install Denuvo spyware, if I download the game from Steam, don't launch it, and just overwrite the .exe with the one from a repack, am I in the clear? would it work? I'd like to get the achievements, otherwise I'd just install a repack

Denuvo has its tendrils all over every aspect of a game. I am sceptical the executable is the only file that would need to be replaced to completely subvert it. That said, the .nfo on the hacked version might actually list all the files they modified for the release, that's where I'd start.
