    So?

    Then don’t put that fucking malware in games and it won’t be bypassed, problem solved.

      Honestly, no single malware tanks gaming performance anywhere near the levels that this shit does. It’s closer to the characteristics of game cancer.

    Funny sentence I had to do a double-take on

    As far as we know, this is the first time Denuvo has sued a cracker in a U.S. court

    anti-cracker-aktion gulag

    If voices38 has any sense, they’ve got a couple weeks to wipe all their data clean and consult some lawyers before going “:o oh no I didn’t realise I was being sued guess it’s not spoliation”. No way this gets anywhere on actual merit of facts.

    Its funny how the free market is only good when it benefits capitalists. The moment someone makes them lose money competition is over and its time to sue others

    Denuvo has done some homework, though. The filing lists a Discord user ID, a Reddit account and seven Steam profiles that it believes are linked to the cracker.

    Denuvo hopes the information linked to these accounts will eventually unmask the cracker. Games have to be bought before they can be cracked, for example, and Steam purchases come with payment details.

    I hope this person has good OPSEC.

    I like voices38; they allowed me to finish AC Shadows because the story ending is hidden behind DLC

    They’re fine as long as they aren’t in the US, doesn’t even need to be somewhere like China or Russia, can’t be extradited on civil case(although they could probably refile locally if they live in a vassal state)

    “bypassing drm” isn’t a crime any more than walking past someone on a sidewalk is.

      it is in the USA, unfortunately.

      But then, we also treat walking past someone on the sidewalk as a crime here as well, if that someone is a bored or angry cop.
