and just as i feared, the DRM is having a CPU hit affecting real paying customers:

Yep, that's a good

Make another install. Problem solved.
Pirating DLC and Nintendo is justice though.
Will developers and their shills EVER stop lying about Denuvo having no impact? We have seen it now dozens of times and again with another high profile game.

the answer is a sounding NO. you won't get banned.
Nope - you're fine. Just note that if you ever validate your install, it'll replace the cracked .exe with the original, so you'll have to replace it again.
You can modify any game up the wazoo without any consequences unless it is an online multiplayer game with a VAC system. Then you might, only might, get into trouble if you modify the files.

I would love to agree, however it is not a proper test, unfortunately. The Steam client is running a variety of additional processes via the overlay, in addition to taking up some resources itself. A proper test would include giving a comparison to running with the Steam client still running in the background, configured to disable all overlay functions and extra features for both the licensed and cracked installs.
Steam doesn't hog 30% of your power in any circumstance.
We have many games that officially removed denuvo after a while, didn't anyone ever properly investigated them? If the performance impact is noticible it should be pretty easy to prove.

Well I would try this now knowing im not risking my steam account, but truth is I dont even know where to beginning looking for stuff like this anymore, especially when all i need is the exe. Hopefully WB will remove the copy protection at some point now that its useless.
Tbh it's likely Denuvo infects more files than just the exe. The release will likely be an iso with all the content, likely on the pirate bay. In terms of installing it on the deck probably you'd use Heroic to install it as it'll have an installer exe in there.
You can install pretty much everything using Steam itself, it's pretty simple. That's how I got RDR2 (R* launcher version to work).

Off topic but to me I never even bother to buy dlc unless the games got a massive discount. The game already costs enough money the devs asking for more is them just being greedy. Dlc has become so annoying that I usually wait about five years for said game to stop dripfeeding dlc.

To take an analogy from software development in other fields.. when testing stuff we write mocks, which pretend to be another component, so we don't have to rely on that other component working and responding quickly. Usually the mock is considerably less complex than the thing we're mocking and the result is that it runs much much faster.
With this context, faking the responses would be much faster than the real thing as it wouldn't be doing all the maths. Of course it's also possible they removed the checks entirely. Certainly back in the ST/Amiga says the cracking crews would remove various copy protection checks in the code rather than just faking responses for them.
