Irdeto, the company behind Denuvo Anti-Tamper, an anti-piracy DRM that's very popular with publishers, has an image problem with gamers. The DRM is infamous practically anywhere you look, with its inclusion in hotly-anticipated games often inviting the ire of many of those excited about them.
The history of the belief that Denuvo DRM makes games run worse is long and complicated. Before and after tests have been done on many occasions to prove there may indeed be a performance hit, but the specifics of each case are different. Sometimes, a publisher's own DRM (used alongside Denuvo) is to blame, as we've seen with Resident Evil Village.
But Irdeto is sick of it, and the company wants independent reviewers to prove that its DRM does not hurt game performance. In an interview with Ars Technica, Irdeto's CEO of video games, Steve Huin, said that the sort of tests gamers often bring up don't always compare the same version of the game with and without Denuvo.
