There is no such thing as an uncrackable game. It is "just" variable levels of hard-to-crack. And some peopl are not willing or able to put in so much work to do it.

I agree that no games are uncrackable in theory, but to my understanding (from about two years to two months ago at least), there were only two people able to crack new denuvo games due to how intensely complex the task is. One of those people only cracks football games and the other is EMPRESS, who from what I've seen glancing into the scene, is one crazy lady.

Although modern denuvo may technically be crackable, but while it's so difficult that only a handful of people have the skill to do it and takes hundreds of hours of work per game, for all intents and purposes, it may as well be uncrackable.

That's right. It's a billion-bucks-industry against less than a handful people. Yet it's still not uncrackable. There's just nearly noone left to do it anymore so in the end they might win. And the legit customers loose even more, as we have to endure this ugly as fuck drm.
