Cracking refers to all methods of circumventing copy protection. Bypassing is just another way of cracking something.

Untrue, cracking software necessitates _removing_ the protection from the executable completely. Whereas with a bypass, Denuvo is still running on your computer, albeit ineffectually.
This has implications - the bypasses cannot run on Linux for example where a cracked executable could. They are not the same thing.
Ehhh, afaik thats not the case in the community. These hypervisor bypasses are considered a different category. Like look at any scene page, they will 100% say Hypervisor or HV for these.
They are referred to as Hypervisor cracks.
They are (correctly and most commonly) called hypervisor bypasses because they do not remove the DRM from the executable.
Yeah I guess I was being pedantic. It doesnt matter. The important thing is that Deunvo is getting royally fucked.
Last scene release with Denuvo crack was like 6 years ago.
