True!You've unlocked a hidden feature that replicates the driving in the original Mafia release. They should have titled the first game "Italian Driving Simulator" because, good God, you had to do a lot of slow driving for the majority of that game.
I understand not liking the software because it effects performance of games but celebrating the ability to pirate the games is just...
Yeah, who gives a fuck about game owners not being able to play their legitimate copies when denuvo servers are down.I understand not liking the software because it effects performance of games but celebrating the ability to pirate the games is just...
Yeah, I too hate poor people who can't afford games, fuck them.
So poor they have gaming PCs ?
Yup, and that works too it seemsI have a friend that plays games on a used 660 that I gave him years ago.
Playing games on PC doesn't mean you're playing at 4k 120fps with everything turned to ultra.
Exactly my feelings on it. I used to pirate games a lot when I was a young dude in the early 00s but I stopped by 2008 because I was now making my own money and didn't want to deal with all the viruses. It sucks ass that often times pirates get a better experience than paying customers but fuck all that noise with viruses and having to worry all the time.Kinda amazes me people still use warez these days when Trojans and other malware can do so much damage.
No, they don't, they just have a pc. Either one they got from school, a leftover from a family member or friend.
I feel like some people here have just never been in a really poor country/community. I have a friend that plays games on a used 660 that I gave him years ago.

They have some old leftover PC that's running Death Stranding?
I'm not talking 4K 120fps but even running it at 720p needs more than some old laptop with an integrated graphics card.

I'm from South America, not exactly the richest place around. If it's kids and teens then sure, I get it, I pirated everything back then too. But for people with a job the whole "I can't afford it" thing ends up being an excuse the vast majority of the time.
In that instance I guess I get it, but let's not pretend that's the reality of the majority of people pirating games.
It will never be cracked, you need a rockstar launcher to start the game. Only way to play it illegally is to purchase a shared steam account
People that pirate video games don't intend to purchase them in the first place(in most cases), it is inaccurate to assume that x amount of downloaded copies equals y of a lost profit.
Haven't tried it but from what I believe you download the game and then play steam offline mode but there's still a rockstar check when you launch itDoes it run in offline mode at least?
Marvels Avengers. The hits keep on coming.
I don't think RE3 was cracked, no one was cracking Denuvo at the time. Capcom removed DRM after a few months.RE3 took fucking forever to crack and someone-who-isn't-me ended up shelling out for a used copy instead.
The problem isn't the copy protections, it's that pirates just go to the used game markets anyway when they can't get their hands on a 5 hour game they're not willing to pay $60 for. Extensive anti-piracy is so redundant.
And when that server goes down...Gujian 3 sold 1.3 million copies by July 2020. There has been zero piracy for that game. Storing and loading savegames from a server proving to be highly effective.
I have a cousin who makes $4000 a month, has a $1200 monitor, and a $2000 PC and he still absolutely refuses to pay for games, because how dare they cost money. Gaming is a privilege, you won't starve to death by not playing them, so if you have a good enough config to play a certain game, you should be able to save up for one game, the problem is pirates get used to having hundreds of games available so they want to have all of them. And trust me, I pirated all the way from 2003 untill 2012 when I started making money here and there, ever since then I have most likely bought 90% of the games I have pirated and I only get games that I know I will play.No, they don't, they just have a pc. Either one they got from school, a leftover from a family member or friend.

But hey, whatever makes you feel better, I'm pretty sure you would love to get paid for your work. ( And the whole "the developers are already paid" argument is stupid as shit, if a game fails sales wise a lot of developers loose their jobs, ask the corpses of some of our favorite studios that are no more)
Sure, and your cousin is a piece of shit, he should buy games.
Sure, you won't starve, but it's not like people can realistically just work and sleep, we don't lose anything cause some poor fuck in africa pirates a game.
Yeah I pirated games too when I was younger, I didn't have any income, I remember pirating Age of Mythology and played thousands of hours of that game. I still bought the extended edition a few years ago even though I barely touched it. Most of my friends pirated games when they were younger, not they buy them because they can afford it.
Most pirates aren't going to buy your game. If a game fails sales wise it wouldn't have succeeded if it had denuvo.
do the cracks remove denuvo entirely or simple just bandage it?
For the goal of what Denuvo is supposed to do it is a success... stop games being pirated are release... Publisher have secured all the day one sales in all the titles listed due Denuvo.
I’m not sure how the OP tries to spin that in fail lol
For now, no definitive answers can be given about whether Denuvo has been cracked or not. If CPY or anyone else comes out with more releases in the following period, then we can certainly see a problem for the Austrian DRM system.
CAPCOM removed Denuvo on RE3 after a couple months without it being cracked.Yeah, Mafia is the only recent title there, other than that we have up to the likes of Mortal Kombat 11. Which hasn't been cracked till now.
So, overall recent Denuvo versions have done more than any other copy protection was capable of. Dunno how that's a fail on Denuvo's part. Its just a win for everyone else.
IMO, the best solution is the one Square Enix employed on some titles. Put Denuvo on, prevent cracking for a few months, then remove Denuvo. First month sales saved and then get an image bonus.
It's a shame that PC gaming still suffers from assholes who will spend 2k on a fucking PC and then avoid spending any money on games. Fuck you.

Got to say all these game crackers are talented as hell.
Never the less, anyone have an idea how many of these guys do this for fun/challenge, and how many do it to actually profit off it like maybe linking up with some pirate website selling games for $5?
