Is there any reason why there don’t seem to be any releases of Persona 5 for the PC? Anything I find is either Nintendo Switch or PS3 packaged alongside emulators. Does it really come down to the dramatic Denuvo cracker not bothering to have a go at this one?
There is.
Persona 5 Royal has Denuvo Anti Cheat. A immensely hard anti cheat to crack.
The only public cracker that is able to crack Denuvo, refuses to crack Anime-games. Thus it’ll take a long while before it gets cracked.
Aha. There’s the context. Thank you.
I took a long break from pirating, but I feel like 10 years ago Denuvo meant nothing and releases were still cracked right away. Any ideas as to what changed that it all comes down to one megalomaniac?
From what I have read and heard is that there was one Denuvo cracker who unfortunately got caught and is still in trail. Here’s a article about it:

And the other ones who could crack it were hired by the Denuvo company themselves. Regards this one, the people being hired - that’s mostly speculation. I have not found any evidence of it.
Which is a shame because its a great game.
That and Persona 5 has very few differences on Switch Vs PC. Framerate is the main one, but it isn’t the kind of game where framerate makes a real difference.
Ah so that’s why it runs like shit.
Runs perfectly (100+FPS always) on my five year old computer, but my partner’s eight year old machine had problems. Ya need more than 4c/4t I guess. New machine with 8c/16t for them and zero issues with the same video card.
Denuvo probably limits it from its full potential, but the game still runs really well, even on older hardware. Granted, P5R isn’t a brand new title but a port of an older one so that prob helps
