Name Denuvo has a bad reputation on the Steam forums. Call it there and you’ll roll up a good one. This company is developing anti-piracy software (DRM) which prevents piracy of Steam games. It is also present on other platforms.
Controversy with Denuvo actually it’s not because it prevents games from being hacked, but because many users complain that these anti-piracy systems are always active in memory. In some cases, the game requires an Internet connection, and in others consume resources that slow down performance and even cause PC crashes and reboots.
Denuvo has always denied this, stating that its anti-piracy software does not affect performance. Although ample evidence seems to show that, at least in some of his versions, this may have had an impact. And this software comes to Nintendo Switch.
Today Denuvo by Irdetoannounced at Gamescom deal with nintendo use software called Protecting the Nintendo Switch Emulatoron Nintendo Switch.
Its name already speaks for itself: it is protection against emulation. Nintendo doesn’t want its games to be playable on PC emulatorshow it is happening now.
A Denuvo press release states that in order to play some highly secure PC games for free already with Denuvo, many people pirate the Nintendo Switch versionrelatively simple process, and play around with the emulator.
This is a bit of an odd argument because those with a PC prefer to play the PC version, which usually has much better graphics than the Switch version. But it’s true that this is how you can play Switch-exclusive pirated games.
In fact, many people who use Switch emulators have a console and games, and what they are looking for is Play games like Zelda Breath of the Wind in 4K resolution and 60fps.rather than the sawtooth graphics and low frame rate of the Switch version.
But there is no doubt that many people also use them to hack and play for freeand Nintendo has every right to prevent this, as well as to ban their games from being played outside of their consoles.
Denuvo does not explain how this protection system works, but what it will do, prevent “dumping” of the cartridge, that is, it is copied into a computer file for distribution over the Internet and playback on a PC.
The big question is to know whether this system will affect the performance of games on the Switch. Denuvo said no.
The goal of DRM Denuvo is prevent game piracy within the first two months after launch, That’s when it’s most in demand. Sometimes the pirates end up “hacking” the protection, or the developer himself removes it from the game when he thinks it sells enough.
