  Its still the wild west of this invention. Theres a possibility that trying this will brick your PC.

    Would it actually brick it? It seems like at worst it would be an os reinstall

      I feel like denuvo is gonna start trying to release CPU microcode some day. Then we can get true bricking.

      Depends on the malware. For some, an OS reinstall would not be enough.

    As I understand it, it also leaves your system wide open to malware to just come right in. I’ve seen statements that it should only be used during a game session to minimize risk, but that’s still a risk, and you know some people won’t do that.

  On the one hand I’ve already trusted fitgirl with my computer and therefore my life, on the other hypervisor seems sketch even from a trusted source.

    Fitgirl is a repacker, not a cracker. When you trust a cracked game, you’re not trusting her.

      No, you trust whoever you got it from. Either to not tamper with the game, or ensure it wasn’t malware to begin with
