Denuvo CEO talks about how he keeps making money by ripping off publishers

00:00 - 00:05 The CEO of IOI interactive came to me and told me

00:05 - 00:07 "We'll pay you a lot of money to protect our game with Denuvo"

00:07 - 00:10 So we added a bunch of bullshit DRM to Hitman 2

00:11 - 00:16 You know, the usual forced online, high CPU loads, and memory leaks

00:17 - 00:21 They paid us so much money and the game was cracked 2 days before release

00:21 - 00:24 3 days before

00:26 - 00:28 3 days before

00:29 - 00:31 3 days before

00:31 - 00:34 They keep throwing money at us and literally every game has been cracked

00:38 - 00:40 3 days before

00:41 - 00:47 We add so much crap on top of the game that the game doesn't even work

00:47 - 00:50 And publishers pay us millions of dollars for breaking their game

00:50 - 00:56 And the game in the end gets cracked anyway

00:58 - 00:59 Time and time again

00:59 - 01:01 Each game gets cracked and they still keep throwing money at us

01:04 - 01:06 Denuvo is so bad that people who bought their copies download the crack anyway

01:06 - 01:08 Just to be able to start the game

01:13 - 01:14 3 days before

01:14 - 01:16 And not only Hitman 2 but Assassin's Creed Odyssey was cracked

01:16 - 01:20 And those idiots added more DRMs on top of Denuvo

01:21 - 01:27 VMProtect was so bad, it was killing people's SSDs

01:35 - 01:36 And somehow we still have a business

01:36 - 01:39 Loyal customers like SEGA who keep putting Denuvo on every game

01:41 - 01:44 No, but seriously, some games still haven't been cracked

01:44 - 01:47 Games like Strange Brigade and Bus Simulator 19

01:47 - 01:49 They still haven't been cracked yet

01:50 - 01:53 So our solution clearly works very well

01:54 - 01:56 We're making so much money

01:56 - 01:58 We even stopped one of these Baldman who was cracking all the games

01:58 - 02:02 And then another guy named FCKDRM killed Denuvo 5 in 5 days

02:05 - 02:07 5 days

02:10 - 02:11 Publishers are so stupid

02:11 - 02:13 Publishers are so stupid

02:15 - 02:17 They patch their games as soon as they get cracked

02:17 - 02:20 But the next time they come back they think it's different

02:21 - 02:28 It's so stupid, but they even pay us to put Denuvo on free games

02:29 - 02:30 Square Enix?
