securom isnt officially dead either, sony still have it, and denuvo had access to it (unsure if they still do as they then did denuvo x86 which they didnt have before) - but its not dead per se...

same with starforce.. afaik its still going strong in the russian and asian areas.. just not in the euro and american ones
SecuROM as a company itself is dead. However, Denuvo was formed by a buyout that involved SecuROMs original company DigitalWorks.

StarForce is still going but is very rarely used anymore in the gaming industry, at least with anything that comes to the western world. There has been a release here and there that has included it, last I recall was a game from UbiSoft which quickly ditched it after massive problems with the "protection" and potential rootkit dangers.

Most of their customer base now is Russian companies. Think the biggest in terms of gaming that people would recognize currently is Mail.ru due to them currently acquiring a license to run the new MMOARPG Lost Ark from Korea.
