  • Ik it’s for clicks and solely in the headline but I must be a stickler about such things; Cracking may be hacking-adjacent but those two things are different. Hacking is infiltrating, cracking is manipulating, quite different if you ask me.

    Considering Denuvo maintains a policy of non-refunds if their security is beaten, the seeming consistent defeat of its DRM threatens to make the entire product useless to video game publishers and developers, opening releases new and old to fresh vectors for piracy that they had paid to prevent.

    This part is fucking hilarious though, especially considering I’ve heard Denuvo is quite expensive and they only keep increasing their licensing fees.

    Although I’d be remiss not to mention the fact that Denuvo’s actual purpose is indeed to stall piracy, they know they can’t prevent it. Stop pirates from cracking their DRM for the most profitable few months of the game being out and I’d say most publishers are happy (even though that doesn’t make any sense outside of the deluded mind of a shareholder). In this, in most cases, they are successful. Irdeto did recently update Denuvo once again, but I say their days are numbered.

  • I’m always playing at least one game. On days where I work and I don’t have as much time as I’d like (I work very little anyway so I still have plenty) I’m playing GTA V Enhanced and Link’s Awakening DX HD. On days I’m off I’m playing GTA V Enhanced and No Man’s Sky. I love all of these games dearly. I unintentionally am playing 3 of my favourite games of all time rn lol.
