Gotta love DRM that makes paid versions of games worse than pirated stuff.

I'm going to just go ahead and pretend that you politely asked me to explain the problem, instead of incorrectly insulting me.

Denuvo is a security risk because it runs code in kernel mode. Running anything in kernel mode is a security risk, and unlike device drivers, that risk is not justified for DRM.
