If I remember right, DOOM and the latest Tomb Raider used Denuvo and they weren't cracked until a few weeks after release, but they did not report sales above the norm.
Are those digital sales? Usually I see numbers quoted as tracking physical sales, which don’t tell the whole story.
And I still feel only publishers would be able to tell what the “norm” is. They have better insight into what their “norm” is in terms of returns for development and marketing based on game type, release date, and tons of other factors that can’t be correlated casually
