Lord of the fallen uses EXEcrypto - Protects itself from cracks

So even if it were uncrackable (which I highly doubt, it is a matter of time before they reverse the whole execryptor just to ridicule the company), it will cost them money to implement, and customers. Plus, potential lawsuits (see Sony CD DRM for that). They should start focusing on the product.

Because 4chan is such reliable source. Other sources say it uses Denuvo DRM. :P

I'd say it's more likely crappily coded game ala GTA IV than DRM. (Most games are GPU bound and not CPU bound)
