Denuvo 5.6, Used in Both Metro Exodus and Far Cry New Dawn, Cracked in Five Days; UWP for Crackdown 3 Bypassed
New game releases with newly-revamped Denuvo protection, and new cracked versions of those games - all in less than five days after release. For now, only Metro Exodus is cracked, though the fact that Far Cry New Dawn makes use of the same version does little to inspire confidence in its continued resistance. The tale is becoming older and older, and the question in most anyone's mind is whether there is actually any financial incentive for developers/publishers to go after Denuvo's protections against cheaper option, because it seems that Denuvo is failing to guarantee even that brief time-window that is always brought about when it comes to new game releases.
Most Denuvo-protected games have been cracked in less than a week after release, and things haven't been improving for some time now. Whether or not it makes sense to keep a team of software engineers working on such a product is also a question that would be well-posed to Denuvo. But not only Denuvo and its DRM solutions are falling short, since it seems that Microsoft's own UWP-protected Crackdown 3, which finally released after a very early 2015 reveal, has also been cracked.

denuvo - resistance is futile! :D
The game kind of became a special target to crack the Denuvo protection as quickly as possible imo.
Crackdown 3? More like Cracked in 4 (days)
Futile, but commendable.
and in the end, steam or epic, it makes no difference whatsoever LMAO
I guess it's an example of just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Since those costs are passed on to paying customers after all.
and some steam fanatics are happy about it i am sure lol
Seriously, those guys have an IQ level close to 200.
Now it can be played with having to wait for a GOG/Steam release. Pay for it on Epic, don't bother downloading it, use the cracked version. Gee, who saw that coming?
