&gt; Denuvo isn't meant to increase sales as a whole. It's meant to stop people getting access to a pirated copy of a game when the price of the game is at its highest. Selling a game for £60 on launch is a lot more useful to them in terms of profit and stats than how much they sell it for half price next year.

Denuvo doesn't change any of that. Again, stopping pirates doesn't necessarily increase sales, so it doesn't matter the "why" they do it.

this is the funniest part most pirates either dont have the money or prefer waiting for a discount while playing other games.

is a rather pointless battle
