  Unless the developer accidentally delivers a slim .exe without malware and and a fat one with said malware. In this case, there is no need to crack so why would they?

  How does one go about cracking denuvo? I haven't actually tried before and not much of a gamer, but for some of the regular software I've pretty much been able to just RE it, find the location where the checks are made, and patch it. Then again I haven't really tried with more secure software such as Microsoft office products, photoshop etc.

  Protecting the big launch week could pay for itself in security fees.
