FIFA 16, for instance, released in September 2015, still hasn't made its way onto illicit channels. While previous games using the anti-tamper tech have been cracked - Lords of the Fallen, FIFA 15, and Dragon Age: Inquisition amongst them - it appears to take longer each time. Unlike conventional DRM, which aims to protect the content itself, Denuvo protects the protection, aiming to 'prevent the debugging, reverse engineering and changing of executable files to strengthen the security of games.' It's kind of like having a moat to cross before an attacker can even start chipping away at the castle walls. The chief reason 3DM has had so much trouble with Just Cause 3 has been its use of Denuvo, a form of anti-tamper technology. Of course, 'free' in this instance refers to pirated games, not free-to-play software - that isn't going anywhere.
