Capcom removes Denuvo from RE4

Not sure how that will affect performance if at all but it could be interesting. With RE8, Denuvo was the culprit behind the game hitching every time an enemy died, and the insane performance drop when one of those vampire sisters grabbed you and vomited bugs on you or w/e. Was very annoying.

Just sharing the news incase there's some people that didn't buy based on the game having Denuvo.
Denuvo was not responsible for the performance drops, it was an additional unrelated DRM Capcom added. Not playing the devil's advocate, but Denuvo was not to blame in this case.
 

If this is true, then Denuvo hurts performance less than Enigma Protector? I know there's a lot of channels that are just grifters thriving from generating negativity, and I've never heard of this YouTuber.....are there credible tech channels that can corroborate this?

More like, Enigma decreases average frame rate more than Denuvo. But Denuvo increases stutters during asset loading.
The better option would be to have none of these malware.

Weve gone full circle cuz now i doubt pretty much all creators who farm drama.

The major tech channels don't touch on this subject, perhaps because it involves talking about piracy. I remember Digital Foundry doing it once, but that was many years ago.

Yeah I remember that one, was an interesting vid.

I wish Hardware Unboxed or Level One Techs, at least, would have a look at it. Maybe Gamer's Nexus? Anyone who's not afraid of kickin up a hornet's nest every once in a while. I'm big on Level One Techs, and they for sure don't fear anything from big companies, it'd be nice if they did an in depth analysis of this stuff, but I don't do social media so there's no reason why they or anyone else would listen to me if I brought it up.

Anyone here with a decent following on one of the platforms wanna reach out to any of those folks and see if they're interested in doing a video comparing Denuvo, Enigma, and DRM-less?
