Frankly I don't think it hurts sales, but I don't think it helps them either. I wouldn't be surprised if it has literally no impact on top-line revenue. That said, I agree with you that Denuvo is very successful at convincing game publishers that it does something and taking in massive licensing revenues.

IDK, I won't buy games with Denuvo and have bought thousands of games. It probably hurts sales a little bit because of people like me, but not a huge amount (so far anyways, that might change as backlash grows and there are more people like me).
