The only person that can crack denuvo right now.

Clearly fucked in the head but there's no other option.

I'm really really surprised nobody else has hunkered down to learn how to crack Denuvo just to give this toxic shit the middle-finger. I mean, piracy groups are full of autistic weapons, and nobody has taken up the challenge?

I think it’s more likely that there are others who don’t publicly share their cracks because they doesn’t want legal trouble/attention.

[–] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't buy this. It's easy to upload files anonymously.

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but why take that risk? They don’t really gain anything.

[–] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They can't gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Once again, why would they share their cracks if its for personal use?

[–] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mods and open source software are not illegal.

You're missing the point I've made completely.

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My point is that a contributor to open source software can contribute just to help people because they don’t have to worry about legal repercussions.

[–] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Being anonymous isn't incompatible with helping people

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

The point I’m trying to make is some people don’t want risk getting raided by the fbi just to give people free games

Because no one with a job is gonna wait for a crazy ass bitch to crack their games for them and upload malware, lmao. Everyone who has a problem with her just buys their games, Denuvo is clearly effective in the fact it takes a literal nut job to crack it. I can happily say I have never pirated an Empress game ever and I don't plan to now or any time soon.
