Denuvo may be anti consumer bloatware garbage that ruins the game for people that pay for it, but it is damn effective at slowing down pirates

"Slowing down" being the key words. You may get locked out of a game temporarily, but most people don't buy games full price on release anymore anyway, at least on PC. You wait for a steam sale as is, so it's no different waiting on a crack. Ergo, Denuvo is pointless and only serves to harm valid games.

If someone is THAT eager to play a game on release day they're also going to be willing to pay for it, or God forbid, have prepaid for it.
