+**1/** **@valigo** ^2013053903206482068
+
+Finally learned why Denuvo destroys performance.
+
+It runs normal code through a fantasy stack-based VM that jits the code back together with a bunch of junk jumps on the fly, completely trashing CPU cache and undoing optimizations that developers worked hard on.
+
+And this is apart from constant timing and fingerpringing, and a bunch of other evil stuff.
+
+Truly a bane of gaming.

+
+This amazing video from Nathan Baggs goes over a lot of what Denuvo is doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_jyCBu0nUA
+
+This kind of shit is why you need a super computer to run games that look no better than something from 2015

+Imagine working your ass off, praying to a statue of Mike Acton in your bedroom, and then some twitchy manager on cocaine demands that you transpile 6 years of hard work through a [spiritually] Python interpreter.
