This isn't news to anyone that's paid attention over the years. Nearly every game that had Denuvo and removed it sees a measurable performance bump. Way more than what general optimizations would do, despite what the developer/publisher and the online propaganda repeaters always claim.

Denuvo's CEO (I think it was) tried to explain that it couldn't impact performance, but that's basically impossible. They are pushing parts of the game through a VM and doing encryption/decryption on the fly. That's going to generate significant overhead. Whether it were to get pushed to GPU over CPU, blah blah, their DRM is still adding additional hoops for the machine to jump through.

Never buy a game until denuvo is removed.
""""It does not affect performance""""
- commented by many shills all over the internet

"What do y'all make of this?"
No surprise at all, it's well known that Denuvo has a major performance impact.
Corporate malware is corporate malware.
Water is wet.
Things tend to fall downward.
-yawn-
Did Ubisoft actually remove Denuvo from a game or is this some cracked version?
replies:
Isn't this a single player game too?
replies:
i dont buy video games that uses Denuvo (and maybe from companies/developer that use it too),
i dont want that malware on my PC,
also am fine with a developer/company using it on one or a few games and removing it on those games.
How has Denuvo even managed to convince the AAA market to purchase it's products when they are cracked almost immediately anyway?
replies:
why even bother playing aaa trash. it's garbage even without the performance of crippling junk they throw in
replies:
I've seen other comparisons that found little difference between RUNE cracked version and the official Ubisoft version with Denuvo.
This comparison is between RUNE and voices38, so the only thing you can infer from this is that voices38 crack is worse than the Ubisoft version.
