"Resident Evil 7" was released just a few days ago and to ensure that the game won't be easily pirated and acquired through illegal means, CPY, however, have already gotten ahead of the game and it didn't take the game more than five days to appear at pirate sites.

Despite being able to provide unmatched piracy protection for particular games, Denuvo wasn't doing all too well with the recently released survival horror game from Capcom. As reported at Torrent Freak, Denuvo is pretty much being put under some heavy fire with the stream of games, supposedly under its protection, becoming available on game pirate sites like "Watch Dogs 2," and "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided."

The latest entry to CPY's list of handiwork was "Resident Evil 7" and it only took no more than a week to crack the protection. It also didn't take a lot for people to notice and start downloading the game immediately.

Despite being put in such a shame, Denuvo, to be fair, is still doing its job well. The goal, after all, is to provide protection against piracy on the game's early release, but without any specific timeframe. There's no assurance of being crack-proof.

As reported at DSO Gaming, there are some discussions now whether the Denuvo protection will be requested to just be removed from "Resident Evil 7" due to the sales impact it causes. A number of consumers avoid getting the game just for the existence of the piracy protection. Not every gamer apparently hates Denuvo protection just because it blocks piracy, but it also impacts performance heavily on many cases, making the purchase highly unlikely.

A number of publishers for games like "Doom" have requested the removal of Denuvo protection to not further increase the potential damage to sales. "Resident Evil 7" might be going the same path sooner or later, but the protection will stay until further notice.
