There are still more talented crackers in the wild, emulators still getting worked on, new DRMs being defeated, denuvo is the exception. Sadly you can't expect people to work a month+ for free for cracking games with arguably less quality every year. Also a pet theory of mine is that teenagers (the ones with actually free time) currently tend to pick these skills less often, more computer and internet access but tons more of cheap entertainment and a steeper learning curve. Who knows what I would have learned if I had TikTok, Instagram and infinite free/cheap games when growing up.

True, at least one solace is that Denuvo is now a time-restricted SaaS, so if a game is old enough, Denuvo is often removed as the license duration has passed. So at the very least, we are still getting DRM-free games, we just have to become /r/patientgamers, a great sub by the way for these kinds of discussions on older games. > Also a pet theory of mine is that teenagers (the ones with actually free time) currently tend to pick these skills less often I've noticed this too, apparently lots of Gen Z don't know what a file system is as they only ever grew up with tablets and phones which don't expose these (usually iOS, while Android does to some extent).
