The fun thing about DRM, is that people love to defeat it.
They (the general public AND 3DM, to TorrentFreak, bunch of whiners IMO) said Denuvo was the death of cracking and piracy. 3DM: No games crackable in 2 years time, said the headline.
now the cracking scene, which was mostly dying, has seen some revival.
It has adapted, but it's a slow moving ship.
Now a new generation (or the older generation, who knows, I'm just relaying my own observations)) are taking everything being thrown at them: encryption, virtualization, obfuscation, changing keys each patch, etc and making it look like light work to crack properly.
They make short, short work of it for the amount of complexity involved. So I hope they continue to throw new things at them with Denuvo, to keep them interested.
One group cracks the base game, sometimes someone else grabs all the updates and rolls them into a cracked patch, etc.
It's nice to see some life return to something that was basically dead, made automated.
- superflyguy 9y ago"No games crackable in 2 years time, said the headline...now the cracking scene, which was mostly dying, has seen some revival" Do you have a citation for this? Every game, dvd, stream, book etc ever has been cracked. Software protection has a 0% success rate.
