Anti-piracy system 'Denuvo' supports Nintendo Switch, there are concerns about game performance degradation
Various copy protection technologies have been developed to prevent the distribution of pirated versions of digital data such as games and music. Among such copy guard technologies, Irdeto, which develops `` Denuvo '', which has a track record of being adopted in many games, has announced the copy guard technology `` Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection '' for Nintendo Switch.

Games for Nintendo Switch have a package version and a download version, and the download version must be downloaded from Nintendo's server. However, the current situation is that there are emulators that run games for Nintendo Switch on PCs and pirated versions of games on the Internet.
According to Irdeto, the popular pirated game distribution platform has 1 million followers, and 84% of game developers are concerned about copyright infringement. In order to overcome this situation, Irdeto has developed a copy guard technology 'Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection' that prevents games for Nintendo Switch from running on emulators. Irdeto said of 'Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection': 'Like all other Denuvo solutions, it seamlessly integrates into the build toolchain without impacting the gaming experience, allowing code to be inserted to disable gameplay on the emulator. I will assume.'
As mentioned above, Irdeto appeals that 'Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection' does not affect the game experience, but it is often pointed out that Denuvo has the disadvantage of 'deteriorating game performance'. And in 2021, verification results have been reported that performance will improve significantly as a result of hacking `` Resident Evil Village '' and disabling Denuvo. For this reason, Hacker News, a news sharing site, said, ``Why are game publishers intentionally degrading performance in the current situation where GPUs are difficult to obtain and many gamers are forced to play games in a low-spec environment? I don't understand it.” Many comments have been received regarding performance degradation.
