Fyi, most of them have not been cracked, but bypassed using a hypervisor that operates in ring-1, so it is certainly a security risk..
Personally I've been voting with my wallet and *never* supporting DRM, so there have been some games where I'm just "Well, I guess I'll never play that game."
At least I have an ethical option to play certain games now, I'm just gonna use a seperate blank pc cus these bypasses are novel.
- Jtarii 5mo agoCracking refers to all methods of circumventing copy protection. Bypassing is just another way of cracking something.
- everyone 5mo agoEhhh, afaik thats not the case in the community. These hypervisor bypasses are considered a different category. Like look at any scene page, they will 100% say Hypervisor or HV for these.
- Jtarii 5mo agoThey are referred to as Hypervisor cracks.
- TiredOfLife 5mo agoLast scene release with Denuvo crack was like 6 years ago.
- akimbostrawman 5mo agoNot true, in this year alone there have already been around 10 denuvo cracks (not hypervisor bypasses) and more will come.
- TiredOfLife 5mo agoNone were from scene
- akimbostrawman 5mo agoThat doesn't exclude them from being cracks. They still follow scene rules.
- branon 5mo agoUntrue, cracking software necessitates _removing_ the protection from the executable completely. Whereas with a bypass, Denuvo is still running on your computer, albeit ineffectually. This has implications - the bypasses cannot run on Linux for example where a cracked executable could. They are not the same thing.
- Gigachad 5mo agoAll software piracy is a security risk since they could embed malware in the game.
- everyone 5mo agoRunning Windows is a massive risk cus its made by Microsoft and it has ring 0 access to your system. I personally trust a cracker in good standing far more that I would any corp.
