Just curious what everyone's thoughts are, anyone think some older games might start removing it? I was surprised looking through new game torrents getting reminded of all the games that had denuvo that I forgot about.

I think EA opting for not having Denuvo poses a much bigger existential risk. If a big player like EA discovers that they're actually not losing money for skipping DRM and are only getting bad rep for using it, they might consider if it is worth it at all. If a big player like EA goes, so does the rest.

Denuvo has broken their strategy of not interacting with the market at all (they're not popular after all) due to their controversy actively hurting their sales. If Hypervisor workarounds can help speed it up I'm all for it, but I'm more keeping an eye on what game Denuvo is playing right now.
