Assassin's Creed did it. Uncharted did it. Why can't GAF do it?

I think you're in the clear since that's more research than it is actively promoting piracy.
That's potentially the root of an interesting discussion, I'd be interested to hear if there's a significant impact.
also RAinbow Six ..... iirc Ubi used scene crack in one of the patches

You know, I'd be reaaaaaally careful about calling people pirates while I've got a Junior tag, if I were you.
It might be hard to wrap your black/white worldview mind around this, but it's possible to be totally against piracy (and buy your games) and at the same time be totally against drm

We all should be like that, ideally.
DRMs (in any form) are just helding gaming back. Or making your games unplayable, or banning you for modding, or keeping you from using your purchased items.
But hey, you got to justify your purchases first (and before some white knight gets offended, I bought doom day one on Steam - yep, DRM).

Yeah, don't link to cracks. However, the thread is fine, since Denuvo has been a pretty interesting chapter in the weird anti-piracy tool saga. New thread for new news and all that. There's discussion to be had.

Knew it would happen eventually.
Any details about the crack itself? Is it a true crack that actually strips out Denuvo completely, or just another "bypass" that has side effects and can't be adapted for other games?

Doesn't seem like true crack, just a loader/emulator.
Edit: Major difference is in preservation, if Deunvo were to be not supported in future, it would break crack too.
Maybe they did something like used Demo as crack, so it might be just Doom and not other games too, but let's see.

Just a bypass/emulator.
It somehow activates the game for you, still need to have a steam acc running.
They're in legal proceedings with KT in China.
Why are you treating piracy as a taboo subject? It's rampant. There's high chance that everyone on this forum has pirated something in their life at one point, whether it be a song from YouTube or a TV series online.
What's to gain from stepping carefully around that elephant in the room?
To be clear, I'm not out to expose
OP should not have provided a link. That much is true. But to interpret that misjudgement as a promotion of piracy is silly, especially considering everything I've said above. Besides, piracy is a multifaceted idea - some do it in protest of DRM applications that prohibit them to continue paying games they've bought.

ahahaha now i suppose the war will be started between denuvo and hackers, so many people on forums around the world are screaming "Fuck Denuvo you die bhuauauaua"
It will be interesting to watch what will happen in the next episode!

Why not just buy it? Game is the best FPS to come out in like what, 10 years or some shit?
This. Game is fucking great. I was pleasantly surprised by it, and I was one of the people expecting a Duke Nukem Forever before this came out.
However the fact that this was cracked shows how Denuvo is just a legitimate customer inconvenience rather than an actual piracy deterrent. I had the lockout the other day where it just completely locked me out of the game for a while. Absolutely ridiculous that they do that to a paying customer.

lolwat?
That's, um... pretty bizarre, tbh. Also dangerous, although I guess you could use a burner account?

But you don't need any ticket, or family sharing, or anything else. These kind of bypass/emulator are already been used in the past, just to log in steam, even with an alternative account, and you're done.
OK friend keep making assumptions. All I'm saying is this game is awesome and it deserves every sale possible.
u do u tho man
edit: tho I do think Denuvo is dumb
bypass
Not true crack. So nope
Question is if they made big mistake of demo tickets working/could be edited to work in full version. Anyone looked into depth yet?
Seems like their loader has anti-tamper so...

That happens every X months. I still remember when the Internet was in arms because of a porny game (Bonetown?) that had the supposedly uncrackable SecuROM. That was years ago.
Yeah I know. just explaining to the poster how it works.

yes you can use alternative account!

Alright! I look forward to the next wave of intrusive software that has even more negative impacts on my gaming.
Not true crack. So nope
GDAMNIT!
Let us have some fun please :3
God DRM is disgusting.
Great game. Disgusting DRM.

yeah, don't worry, i know ^^
Yeah I think denuvo is dumb. I thankfully haven't ran into it yet (I have DOOM on the PS4).

well, we will know if no other denuvo games will get cracked. Anyway it's a steamwork fix online too, you can play online with this!
I'm not sure, and I think this is a grey area that needs discussion(?).
You bought a 'copy' of the game, and thus are only entitled to legally own that one copy...? So a torrent wouldn't constitute? I don't know, please correct me if I'm off the mark!
As a person who is new to GAF, as I stated in my comment, the answer isn't obvious. Sure, I assumed it's not, but I didn't see the harm in asking.

Doom came out nearly three months ago. Denuvo has prevented piracy in the first 2.75 months of sale. That's pretty effective IMO.
Meanwhile, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry Primal, and Just Cause 3 are completely impossible to pirate.
It's gotta call home after a few days so if you're traveling or something it locks you out.
Denuvo almost certainly does have a performance impact, that much can be assumed based on how it works, it's impossible to test what that impact is until it's completely cracked though.

Pretty much.
Yea I haven't really had any problems at all with denuvo compared to the garbage that was Securom.

Usually you purchase a license to play the game. How you run/acquire the game after purchasing the game don't matter.
And I'm sure you're allowed to torrent things you own for personal use only as backups in case a disc or something gets broken.
Whole area is a bit weird, but as long as you paid for a medium like a movie, song or game, I see no issue with you then torrenting it, as you already purchased it.
Nothing.
There are sides that never agree on DRM. Personally I cant stand it as it usually seem to hamper paying customers while pirates go around the thing all together.
I've not had many issues with Denovu, but I sure do hate not being able to get full on mods. Seems more like a DLC protection for the companies at this point then counter piracy solution.
