The piracy scene isn’t doing well at the moment. There is only one person these days cracking Denuvo DRM, and just recently they released a public statement that Denuvo is becoming much more aggressive and difficult to overcome. The vast majority of newly released Denuvo titles are inaccessible to pirates - talking like 90% or more.

I think it might be exactly because it seems to be quickly removed post release, so it's not *that* painful. The moment this changes and it becomes more painful, more people with knowledge will naturally get interested in hacking the shit out of it in perpetuity. 

Relatively small amounts of pain it currently inflicts is the reason hacking scene is not that interested, if it fully penetrates the market and each game on steam has it and then is it never removed, sheer persistence of people with knowledge that will start cracking games to wipe it title to title is not to be underestimated. 

And this would have very high impact on steam and game producers, since people might start defaulting to hacked games, and noone is getting paid here. Steam and other gaming platforms + game devs themselves are incentivised not to allow this cancer to spread too far, it will directly impact their wallets.
