There was some controversy when Wikipedia's page for Denuvo removed information about whether the DRM on the list of games using it had been cracked or not. The reasoning given was that the sources cited for whether they were cracked or not were not consistently reliable and a hassle to maintain. Fine, whatever. I'm not looking to pirate, just want to know what games use the DRM and what games have removed it.
Then I discover they removed even THAT part. The list of games is gone. Why? What the hell? Well, Wikipedia's gonna Wikipedia I guess. They have their own agendas. If they wanna front for Denuvo, hell with them if they want to go that route.
Now the question, where do I get my Denuvo updates now?
This is the best source I've found so far: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Denuvo#List_of_games_using_Denuvo_Anti-Tamper
EXCEPT for one problem that wasn't present on the Wikipedia page prior to them yeeting the whole list from existence, that being this list of games doesn't account for games that have had Denuvo removed in specific storefronts. That information is provided if you click on a given game's page on the site, but you'd have to know that it was removed first to know to do that. (so games like Abzu, Lords of the Fallen and Mad Max are listed as having the DRM with no asterisked-fine-print because they still have the DRM on their Steam versions though the former two are on GOG, and Mad Max on Origin is Denuvo-free. Info like that is useful to know, y'know?)
Is there a better source that stays up-to-date or should I just be like "f*** it" and stick with this while cursing the existence of Wikipedia's inane moderation practices?
