Sometimes it is cracked immediately on release. Hogwarts Legacy had a playable beta crack in only a few days.

Denovu v17 is broken but it still takes work to apply the process and it's tedious which is why only one person works on any/all game (Empress) (a few others only crack single games presumably those they enjoy themselves).

Although I'm sure 2 weeks is a very nice cushion, ideally it'd be at least a month.

There is a conspiracy theory that Day 1 patches are to mitigate cracks.

I've taken my eye off DRM as I believe the real big issue will be cloud gaming.

But Empress at least cracks Denuvo due to not liking the idea of intrusive DRM.
