Even the most complicated video drm can be defeated fairly easily by recording analog output. No one does this, there are groups with fancy protected secrets to rip stuff from Netflix, Hulu, deezer, Spotify, Apple Music, etc, which is why it comes out basically immediately. And that’s probably why the rights holders don’t go to denuvo levels of drm, ultimately with video/audio as long as you can view the media you can pirate it
In addition to this, a lot of movies and TV shows are going to use the same DRM mechanisms, whereas with games it’s different for every game. The developers (both of the DRM systems and of the game) learn what works and what doesn’t work and adjust the system for their next game.
Edit: Also, games often have anti-piracy measures hidden throughout the game, so whoever is cracking the game likely has to play the game quite a bit to ensure they’ve caught them all.

Until every television can tell the difference between your eyes and a video camera, video drm is never gonna be effective
Don’t give them ideas
The ideas were patented 25 years ago.
Spotify can be just downloaded from the servers without any fancy cracking tools.
How? All the tools that I saw just got it from YouTube.
Replace the “Sp” in Spotify with a “Z”.
That’s what I used.
