They also warned that due to the current trends in encryption technology, the cracking of video games may become impossible within two years. 3DM continued to release cracks for Denuvo-protected games throughout 2015.ģDM reportedly nearly gave up attempting to crack Just Cause 3, which is protected with Denuvo, in January 2016 due to difficulties with an upgraded version of the anti-tamper mechanism. Asked about the development, Denuvo acknowledged that 'every protected game eventually gets cracked' and Ars Technica noted that most sales for major games happened within 30 days of release, and so publishers may consider Denuvo a success if it meant a game took significantly longer to be cracked. However, the 3DM crack arrived almost a month after the game's release in November 2014, an unusually long time for PC games which were normally cracked on the same day as release.

The group claimed that the technology involves a '64-bit encryption machine' that requires cryptographic keys unique to the specific hardware of each installed system.

In December 2014, the Chinese warez group 3DM claimed to have defeated Denuvo and later that month released a software crack for the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition, which uses the Denuvo anti-tamper technology to protect Electronic Arts' Origin Online Access DRM. Denuvo's marketing director Thomas Goebl stated that some console-only releases get PC releases due to this technology. Games protected by Denuvo require an online re-activation for every hardware change every 24 hours and Denuvo limits activations to four hardware upgrades per 24 hours. To do so would be of no benefit in terms of security or performance.' The company has not revealed how Denuvo Anti-Tamper works. Early reports suggested that Denuvo Anti-Tamper 'continuously encrypts and decrypts itself so that it is impossible to crack.' Denuvo Software Solutions has stated that the technology 'does not continuously encrypt and decrypt any data on storage media.

The first Denuvo-protected game was released in September 2014.
