Denuvo was the main reason that some of the games were not coming to Linux or MAC
Denuvo bypassed for DOOM, RotTR, JC3, INSIDE, ABZÛ, TW:WH, and HF:TR

MADMAN actually did it. there's more insightful news on /r/CrackStatus, which I won't link here due to it containing direct links to warez. :P

And yes I AM SO DARN HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!

BURN TO HELL DENUVO!!!!

That's a nice news!

Anyway I don't think it's going to change anythings for us, but once Wine will become more D3d11 capable those cracks will make these games less a hassle to get to run!

People are sick of all these DRM bullshit (such as the cancer GFWL)and it's a good thing that they get cracked!

From a technical point of view I'm glad they did it, DRM is a piece of trash and brings nothing but trouble to the honest customer.

Yay! Now, one can hope that Rise of the Tomb Raider (for example) would be considered for porting to GNU/Linux without Denuvo (since it can be argued that including it is pointless). :)

Edit:
It seems that Denuvo is not actually cracked; it's just a Steam bug being exploited that could probably be fixed in not too much time. :(

From what I read the bypass via the the demo has been patched already. However, not before the Denuvo servers were
sent a flood of phony requests.

from reddit user /u/carbonat38
my guess is that they bombard the denuvo server with illegitimate requests with lots of hw and software configs to find out the key generating function.

Today, they just cracked some Denuvo protected games. Denuvo is dead. That was CPY's plan all along to use the temporary bypass.
