> DRM and obfuscation only work to waste a week or two of the time of the person taking it apart.
I remember reading an article featured here that the latest PC video game needed something like 6 months to be cracked and the crackers (Chinese I think) almost abandoned.
Will try to find the link.
- ryanlol 11y agoThis is true, but it's primarily due to the fact that highly skilled reversers aren't really producing cracks anymore.
- danieltillett 11y agoWhat are they doing instead?
- hawleyal 11y agoWriting obfuscators.
- penagwin 11y agoIf the skilled reversers stopped producing cracks, isn't that the same thing? :P
- ryanlol 11y agoSure, but it's still noteworthy that this isn't due to DRM suddenly becoming better.
- tarpherder 11y agoFound it for you (or at least I think you meant 3DM (cracking group) and Denuvo (anti-tamper)): https://torrentfreak.com/no-more-pirate-games-in-two-years-group-warns-160106/ https://torrentfreak.com/no-more-pirate-games-in-two-years-g... Additionally some fun facts for games released with the latest Denuvo iterations: Rise of the Tomb Raider released 28th of January this year, not cracked to date. Just Cause 3 released December 1st 2015, not cracked to date. Thats a lot longer than a week or two :)
