I heard about it and went to the store page to check it out. Saw denuvo, and marked the title as ignored. Not even worth pirating at that point, fuck off with that garbage. I own zero games with denuvo and that’s not changing. Even if they remove it I’m still not buying it.
I hope piracy ends up beating denuvo so that garbage stops existing, not so I can pirate it.
Does this bring us back to 100%?
I love to see it, but publishers will still consider this a win for DRM. The vast majority of sales for most games happen in the first few weeks after release, so 13 days without a crack might be considered worth the cost of Denuvo in exec’s minds. They’ll only panic if it’s available on day one, like with that hypervisor bypass that made headlines recently.
Pretty sure that HV works on most/all DRM, though? I mean, it can be insanely unsafe on the user’s part, and incalculably risky at the very least, but it’s still available on day one.
FWIW, said execs certainly show no signs of GAF abt user security, privacy, etc., so there’s nothing (yet?) stopping them from further normalizing deep access to end-users’ devices… under the PR fraud of “protection” against “hackers”.
It doesn’t matter if you “bought” their thing, you’re still just a product to them. 😶
Meanwhile in reality, it’s these recent bypasses that give people who pirate confidence to say it’s gonna be a couple weeks tops so I’m not gonna pay for it
As is the mindset of an acquaintance i have that pirates everything
Hmm, I guess denuvo’s not forever
… I’ll get my coat
