win2k is the goat. fast, clear, no bullshit. sadly rdp and cleartype dragged me away and i've regretted it ever since.

> Some Denuvo games stay uncracked for years

this era is well and truly over. you've got pre-release hypervisor bypasses and then a conventional crack a couple weeks later.

even aside from this, their reliability has been absolutely terrible since they took it over. it's down so often we had to setup slack notifications directly to the devs to try to take some of the pressure off our ops teams.

they must be migrating it to hyper-v or something. brutal.
