Not going to take sides on the particular debate, but one could certainly argue that DRM is just a double-edge blade.
The world is less fun with less art and games. And those require money to be made. The cost of securing that or making legitimate purchases cheaper (broadening the legal market) may be the initial online requirement and potential performance impacts.
Again, I'm not saying Denuvo is or is not a net in one way or the other. Just that there is room for gray.
There are plenty of commercial games that make the development costs back without any use of DRM.
Also, art and games don't require money to be made. And I'd also argue that we don't actually need more games since we already have many - getting more is nice but we don't have to throw away our principles for it.
