The point is that the 20+ year old Sounds settings are still much easier to use than the new bullshit settings UI that keeps changing all the time.

I can’t find shit in the Windows 8/10/11 settings and still use the old settings wherever possible.

Afaik the protocol is documented[1] and the clients are open source[2].

No code available for the backend though.

People hate Denuvo because it requires a regular connection to the Internet and has a big impact on the performance of games.

I’m not buying these games not because I can’t pirate games with Denuvo (I don’t really pirate games at all anymore) but because they tend to run like shit.
