Denuvo has fallen.
Denubros we got too cocky
What games with Denuvo in 2025 were worth playing?
Piracy is theft. The penalty for theft used to be death. I think we should bring that back.
>>735012862Stellar Blade, MonHun
>>735013008>MonHunRise released in 2022
>>735012959>The penalty for theft used to be death. I think we should bring that back.Only if we apply it to rich kikes first
>>735013047And it had some other DRM.
>>735012490>NuDoomThey said it was sour grapesI'm still not interested
Word on the street is that it's not just a basic bitch crack of the current branch of denuvo, but a complete cuck of the entire software.
>>735013371No it had Denuvo, they only put in Enigma after they dropped Denuvo
>>735013657>but a complete cuck of the entire software.Apparently the dude who cracked it is already sharing his method? Thats at least what i saw someone else sayI dont know i am a brainlet so i could never figure something out like this
Crimson Desert is next
>>735013657God that would be so fucking based.
>>735013730Ye, still kinda janky but it's looking good for the future.Of course, it would be preferable if uprooting the entire thing would be possible instead of workarounds but that's good enough.
>>735012490>mfw
This is honestly a massive win for literally everyone. Pirates, buyfags, devs... only the publishers are getting fucked.
>>735014026How is it a win for devs?
>>735014148The vast majority of people involved with AAA development are barely seeing any money from game sales, they get paid for their work. No denuvo means the game has a bigger reach and runs better and is thus likely to be received better, which allows the devs to negotiate better terms for their next games. Also there have been several studies that show that things that can be pirated actually sell better.
Based
>>735012959"Piracy" is free speech, the punishment for undesired free speech used to be being burned at the stake.
I wouldn't pirate at all, if games weren't so fucking expensive. It should be like this:AAA: $20AA: $10Indie and games older than 5 years: $5I'm 1000% confident that this would increase profits across the board.
>>735015516>I'm 1000% confident that this would increase profits across the board.It is basic economic theory, there is a sweet spot where your product is priced low enough to attract enough buyers but high enough to still maximize profit. This is especially true with products that do not have large overhead cost (no physical discs being produced anymore and direct download from servers). The hubris of modern developers will win out over logic, though. They will still price their software license close to triple digits then get pissy and incorporate malware into their games when nobody wants to pay it.
I don't care how corpos cope, I will NOT spend real world money on "digital goods".
>>735015516AAA is just a 90s investment meme stemming from the fact that games were moving to CDs, which dropped production costs to pennies. It doesn't actually mean anything, and it consequently shouldn't inform price.>Oh but ehrm budgetReally think about the fact that the marketing budget of a major game can often just be as large if not larger than the development budget. The budget that goes in is not that heavily correlated to the quality that goes out and budget can often be spent to make something worse.20$ should be the upper limit for fully featured games, but it should be up to the games themselves to show that they're worth that cost, not some imaginary pedigree.This was really already known even when software copyright wasn't a thing and people were complaining about software theft.>"When software is free, or so inexpensive that it's easier to pay for it than to duplicate it, then it won't be "stolen" - Jim Warren 1976>>735015764>No physical discs being produced anymoreLike I said, physical discs were already a massive cost savings over cartridges and other means of distribution, they may as well have already been free. CDs and DVDs would have been the new penny dreadfuls, except that publishers got too greedy.
Are there any good recent first person slashers? Would Doom TDA fit that description?Played a fair amount of mortal sin recently but I don't think I can go through the same four levels again. I know of VOIN and Daimon Blades but they aren't out yet(fuck early access).
>>735012959theft = taking something without permissionpiracy = copying something without permission
>>735015764>>735016189Economic theory aside, if AAA games would cost 20 bucks, I also would be FAR more lenient with my critique and much more willing to overlooks some flaws that are dealbreakers at the current price tags.
>>735013657big if true
>>735012862None
Only game I wanna play is Wukong
>>735013657>>735013730doom dark ages cracker is named "voices38" and the crack involves "hypervisor".that's all i know, haven't seen where the method is supposed to have been shared
>>735016924I think it's unlikely that he's sharing it at this point, would be too risky.
>>735016924hm i think i might have gotten that wrong, voices38 doesn't like hypervisor cracks?some people seem to think voices38 is just the empress guy under a new name
>>735016228piracy is theft outside legal borders if I remember correctlyfile sharing is neither theft nor piracy. It is just breaking copyright law in places where such law exists (practically).
>>735012862Stellar BladeThat's about it.
>>735016924>and the crack involves "hypervisor".No, that's completely unrelated.The hypervisor crack is the current method used in basically all Denuvo games for the last 2 years by other crackers.voices38 cracks are actual old-school cracks, with no hypervisor or disabling of security features required.
>>735012490It's always the ones I gave in and bought.
>>735014148Devs dont get swindled by a scam company
>>735013937A pirate i was meant to be!Trim the sails and roam the sea!
Speaking of hypervisor, is nobody going to question how denuvo has been illegally running a kernel level trojan all this time?
>>735012490>all this effort>2 months later denuvo is removed from 2025 games anyway>3 months later a completely new denuvo is released and nobody can crack it for years
>>735018157that's good since it should then continue to work even on win12+
>>735018361Isn't that all anti-cheats forever? Plus it's on you to install and run it
>>735018516>12Bro I'm still on 10 fuck you talking about
>>735018546Correct. However games that use that force you to click on "Agree", not the case with denuvo. That shit will hook itself to your PC without your knowledge or consent
new releases aren't worth my time even if they're given away for free desu
>>735018609I never installed a Denevo game but I'm sure there's a EULA somewhere, or it's part of the games "if you install and play this you agree to everything"
>>735018510the men doing this clearly thinks it is fun and earns them respect so still worth the effort.voices38 cracked some 2024 games that still had denuvo so those 2025 games would probably still have denuvo into 2027>>735018597i meant future proof cracks, hypervisor (VM stuff) cracks can stop working if windows releases an update, and most likely would not work if moving to a new version of windows.non-hypervisor cracks should keep working forever (on win12, win13, whatever).
>>735014421>been several studies that show that things that can be pirated actually sell better.Must be why the music industry prospered so much once Napster came on the scene.
>>735018510>>2 months later denuvo is removed from 2025 games anywayAnon, there are games from 2017 that still have Denuvo despite being cracked years ago (looking at you Sonic Forces).Sega is notorious for this because the company is run by retards.
>>735018921I wonder what the second post on /v/ was
>>735012862Khazan
>>735013452I played the first few hours with goypass. They removed everything that made the other nu-doom games fun and made it parry slop.
>>735018921>still have Denuvo despite being cracked years ago (looking at you Sonic Forces).it's real, lmaooo
>>735018921Anno 1800 only got cracked recently by voices too, beforehand the pirated version was severely outdatedI fell for the anons shilling and bought the game when it went on a discount for $5 or whatever it was last summer so I could pirate all the DLCs instead of playing the old build
The assumption that games should be free is retarded.
>>735019418It's less that games should be free and more that any money I give you for a digital "product" is something I consider a donation, so if I don't like you on a personal level, you don't get my money, unless you're providing me with a physical product.And I hate pretty much all publicly-traded companies.
>>735012959Ok then bring back death for usury and currency printing, charging interest which doesn't even exist in the system in the first place. How about that, if you can advocate for that first then maybe no one would pirate because they aren't being STOLEN from by currency inflation. O wait, you're a bot or shill for corporations.
voices38 might be bulgaria's only pride in the world
>>735018921Nevermind cracks, some SEGA games still use Denuvo on Steam when they're DRM-free on GOG.
>>735021594>>735018921responsible and uptsanding companies update lock a product after a number of months so they stop wasting resources on unneeded updates to products that are making them 0 dollars
>>735012862Crimson DesertRE9Doom
>>735012490cracked or "cracked"?
niggas whom crack denuvo should be considered gods among men
>>735012490based, fuck these kikes
>>735022176Only one of those games was released in 2025, and it was the only one that wasn't actually worth playing.
if its been cracked where the fuck is the god damned Jesus raping mary in the confessional torrent?
>>735012490no
