Hacking - Mass Effect Andromeda cracks under a Denuvo protection that has become obsolete

In the world of new technologies, and therefore of computers, what is revolutionary at a given moment can very quickly become obsolete a few months later. This problem also applies to Denuvo, a video game anti-piracy service that was still unbreakable a few months ago, but which breaks under the hacker shots even faster since the end of 2016. If Resident Evil 7 was hacked only few hours after its released, it is now the turn of Mass Effect Andromeda to suffer the thunders of piracy. Denuvo sees itself already surrounded by cracks and multiple pirates versions flood the web. A hard hit for the PC game protection box?

If all the PC games protected by Denuvo have not yet fallen under the blows of the pirates (NieR: Automata seems to hold the shock), it is clear that the anti-piracy protection of the games is no longer at all a sure value to the Eyes of developers and publishers. If the worst is still apparently assured, namely the protection of the first days of marketing games, the industry should quickly lose interest in Denuvo to turn to other security providers to prevent their titles from being hacked and " Cracked " the days after their releases on PC. Unless a strong reaction on the part of Denuvo, its future is for the moment very uncertain, and its protections really weak too quickly...
