But removing Denuvo DRM after 12 weeks ‘causes zero mean total revenue loss.’

In my case they're facing a 100% revenue reduction regardless of when (or whether) it's cracked.

I'm never going to buy denuvo infested malware, and developers and publishers who try to pull this shit go straight into the blacklist.

Something to consider is that they don't consider people not buying their games as revenue loss in these studies because most of these studies are deliberately fudged to support their narrative. They can't do anything about people just not buying their games, they wish they could but they also aren't going to say it out loud because it doesn't help their cause.
