DRM has never stopped me from pirating a game, but multiple times it stopped me from buying it.

    I mean, it literally stops you from pirating uncracked games.

    until they are inevitably cracked (which has been done with many denuvo games already) and pirates enjoy better performance once again.

    I used to pirate back in the day and the fact that you no longer had updates or fixes was a huge issue. It's actually the number one reason I no longer pirate games. It's not worth my time or frustration to deal with a virus, bad crack or crashing game. Also since I stopped pirating I've had exactly 0 malware/trojan infections.

    I pirate all the time. Until recently mostly on public trackers. Had malware once when I was like 12 and that's about it. Sounds like a skill issue. Also, most cracked games get updates.

    ... I hate to out myself here but I have played some of those games cracked.

    I mean there was even a whole thing on Far cry 6 running better cracked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLnGG92usI

    And RE Village https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSMXhdPeCfk And Hogwarts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y_bab5wtHY

    I looked up Nier: Replicant and yeah, also cracked (I will not share as I think that breaks rules)

    EDIT: Also in the link you provided:

    "Did Hogwarts Legacy remove Denuvo?

    Notorious game cracker has removed Denuvo from Hogwarts Legacy after just two weeks."

    Hey, I don't judge. I might only pirate media I've already bought (like when I couldn't find my copy of a movie) but firmly agree with Gabe Newell that piracy is a service issue first and foremost. Additionally if you can't own the game you buy I can't view it as stealing. If there is a crack for Civ 7 or Dragons Dogma 2, I'll probably buy a copy then get the cracked version for performance.
