There’s an r/crackwatch, with a pinned list of Denuvo games.

For example, in 2021, only 7 games released with Denuvo were cracked (out of an approximate 30). In 2022, only one. There was only one cracker in the world who was any good at breaking Denuvo, and Denuvo hired them, so it almost never happens anymore.

(Be careful when reading the crackwatch updates, because they mark ‘denovo removed’ the same colour as ‘denuvo cracked’, you have to read the notes) My mistake, they stopped doing this a little while ago.

“Denuvo removed” means, like I said before, the publisher stopped paying the denuvo license and voluntarily removed it from the game themselves.
