Steve Huin, chief operating officer of videogames, said, “there is no perceptible impact on gameplay because of the way we do things.”

    Irdeto is working on a program that would provide two nearly identical versions of a game to trusted media outlets: one with Denuvo protection and one without. After that program rolls out, hopefully sometime in the next few months, Huin hopes independent benchmarks will allow the tech press to “see for yourself that the performance is comparable, identical… and that would provide something that would hopefully be trusted by the community.”

    Doubt. I don’t expect they’re going to release two copies that differ only in Denuvo presence: they’re going to release one copy that has Denuvo, and another with intentional performance degradation that matches Denuvo’s raping of your computer. Then they’ll claim, “see? no difference! we’re fine!” Meanwhile, the Denuvoless crack copy will perform 200% better, “somehow.”

      Either that or they’ll do the VW thing. Denuvo disables all of its performance penalties when it detects the benchmarking suite.
