Just cause 4 has been cracked just a day after its release, more trouble for stopped

Just Cause 4 is the fourth installment in the popular series and is the direct sequel to Just Cause 3. Despite running the latest version of Denuvo protection, Just Cause 4 has been cracked just a day after its release, putting a once more questioning Denuvo.

Denuvo 5.3 is broken again in Just Cause 4 in just one day

This is quite surprising since the game was running the latest version of Denuvo protection, other games based on the more advanced version of this protection system have taken at least months or weeks to crack, and CPY broke the new game in one day. Just Cause 4 was running on Denuvo 5.3, the same technology that Hitman 2 was using and that broke 2 days before release. At this point, Square Enix should consider removing Denuvo technology from the game as it is pointless and may harm legitimate players in terms of performance or stability.

Just Cause 4 was released yesterday by Square Enix on PC via Steam, Xbox One, and PS4. The game takes us to Solís, a huge South American home of conflict, oppression and extreme weather conditions. Just Cause 4 sees rogue agent Rico Rodriguez land in Solís to hunt down the truth about his past, at any cost. Put on the wingsuit, equip your fully customizable grappling hook and get ready to bring the thunder.

With this, Denuvo 5.3 has turned out to be one of the worst versions of this protection system, failing to fulfill its function of protecting the games the first weeks after their launch, which is when the bulk of sales are concentrated. Do you think the use of Denuvo should be abandoned?
