Being a drm cracker is basically being a slave these days. You make others rich - you get no praise or cred - at best you can be proud of yourself. This is why piracy is dying.
NAH it is none of that. the games are pozzed garbage and no one cares to crack nor wants to play them. if the games were good crackers would waste any amount of time cracking them, and pirates would line up to eat that slop even if released in a glitchy state.
Sorry but that sounds like cope. Those shitty pozzed titles still have millions of players on Steam and other platforms. You can't tell me there is no demand for those games.
>old people grow out of gaming and new people don't join cause zoomers are more tech illiterate than any other generation thanks to phones and tablets
Yeah, shame that there wasn't any boomer or millennial around willing to pass the knowledge down or get the zoomers away from corporate influence or those devices. Instead, they sat on their asses doing nothing for the future and thought that things would always be fine, just like the old people they criticized when they were younger. Always love reading geriatrics blame the young when these people are still not fully developed, are easily led by the nose and are limited to consume for the majority of their lives before they can create. Zoomers being moronic, unable to think for themselves is a massive failure for the previous generations. >b-b-but I'm born in 2005 and I'm decent
Yeah nice survivorship bias, you got out of the crab bucket. Now look at your peers. You can thank your environment and/or being lucky to have had older people who showed you that there's something beyond tiktok and Instagram and whatnot.
>Zoomers did nothing wrong
Classic zoomer take. I shouldn't have to worry about you when today's society makes it hard enough to worry about myself.
By the way, it isn't the fault of millennials at all. It's solely the fault of dinosaurs sitting in office that are too addled to know what copyright laws are, and companies can just buy their wins these days.
Don't point the finger at us.
denuvo is literally giving out tons of money to buy out the crackers so only the mentally ill fricks like empress still remain to try and crack stuff, but even that is dead
Look I don't care much. I am old enough to pay for the games that I really want. Or I can wait that denuvo gets removed from the games since it's a pay by month subscription for publishers, so they will eventually remove it. There are 2 or 3 games on that list that are worthy playing anyway. My backlog is so huge I can play old shit for the rest of my life and never get bored.
Sucks for zoomers I guess, but they are getting fricked in a plethora of ways anyway, vidya is their least of concerns.
I only play games one or two years from it release. At that point it is either on 50% sale, or cracked, with all DLC and patches released. Cracked or not, doesn't matter anymore.
Kek, horrible taste. I blew $70 on Infinite Wealth and dropped it within 3-4 hours, somehow it was even more boring than the first game. You really have to be a Yakuzagay to even appreciate/enjoy the games, they're obviously not for everyone.
There are way more entertaining games in that list compared to Infinite Wealth. I literally had WAY more fun with Lost Crown, Persona 5, and Persona Reload than I did with 3-4 hours of Infinite Wealth, even Jedi Survivor was more fun. Bait post and I feel for it, so here is your (you) homosexual.
Truth is, the competency crisis is real and has affected the scene as well. People can’t code for shit these days and the ones that can are working lavish gigs at some tech company somewhere. Dark times.
Goyslop and japslop isn't worth playing, therefore it isn't worth pirating either. Meanwhile, games that are actually good and worth playing usually have a GOG release, so there's no reason to crack them.
>Goyslop and japslop isn't worth playing, therefore it isn't worth pirating either
This is cope as evident by these endless threads still being made begging for cracks
>old and archaic stealth game >a military boomer shooter >ancient relic from the era of king tutankhamen
Yep, just as I thought. A boomer who’s afraid of technological change and going outside his comfort zone.

What sort of technological change does DD2 offer other than graphics? What sort of complex, revolutionary gameplay systems and world simulation does it have that Western games weren't already doing 20 years ago? Pressing X to awesome and watching slow attack kill mobs that pose no threat to the player? Or is it spending 1 hour defeating a boss using repetitive actions?
My favorite games happen to be old, because they involved multiple complex mechanics and required problems solving, management and strategy, all while respecting my time and stimulating my brain. The only people who'd enjoy japslop are 50 iq mongrels whose brain was fried from playing that braindead stuff since their early years. There's a reason why Japan never made a single complex strategy, management or simulation game. The West has Gary Grigsby writing war games that simulate the whole Western or Eastern front, where is Japan with their equivalent? Too busy making japslop #21321312543 or spamming enemy weakness in a DVD menu simulator (I guess japs do make simulation games after all kek).

Calm down old man, you’re sounding curmudgeonly. You’re writing off the good eastern games as trash when in truth, most games from the west and east are shoddily designed, lowest common denominator pandering garbage. You had a few games that were good from the previous eras but you were usually stuck with those games and anything that was good or of decent quality shone like a beacon in the dark. It’s no different today only now it’s easier to find the thing you like through the indie scene and the internet as a whole. You can act bitter about some perceived idea that repetitive games are everything on the current market and resign yourself to playing old games forever or you can come out of your cave to discover what more is out there.
>What sort of technological change does DD2 offer other than graphics?
I like DD because I like dark fantasy and DMC style combat, which it does both very well and has no equal in the gaming market currently. Graphics are just a cherry on top for me.

name one western game that offers what DD2 does, combat is better than the entirety of the western industry, monster behavior and animations is years ahead of any western garbage, better music, removal of abstraction for rpg mechanics implemented seamlessly, like your height affecting your reach, the places you can enter, your walk speed, how deep you can walk into water without extinguishing your lantern. >pose no threat to the player

lmao i love the game but it is entirely solved by whistling
It is, actually. Piracy is being pushed out for good. People who still say "if buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing, heh" as if that's a checkmate are just uninformed. Companies pursuing lack of ownership means games won't be pirateable, so your little quip is completely pointless.
>Is piracy dying?
Thank god, that means we are expected to see a crash sooner than later. If gaming is so bad that nobody is interested in piracy anymore, that says a lot about the state we are in.
>It's not lack of interest in piracy
What the frick are you about, aren't PC gamers waiting for literally one person to crack it, because there is nobody crazy enough or "passionate" that want's to put time in to cracking it, we are yet to enter a streaming era were everything is streamed, the games are still digital and local with always online drm and very locked down.
You don't understand how hard it can be to crack certain games. Some games, it can literally be impossible, for others it's practically impossible, unless you're willing to hire and pay a professional to help you out, even then it'll still take years. It doesn't matter how "le crazy" you are, impossible things are still impossible. And cracking games is quickly becoming impossible.
P3R is a pretty good game, but it won't be cracked anytime soon unless ATLUS fricks up again. Anything related to SEGA will just have Denuvo for several fricking years. Thankfully, in the case of ATLUS, their games get discounted quickly or put on Goypass. I don't like goypass but if you need about two weeks to play an expensive game that just released, I guess the trial is the best option. Cracking is dead, at least for now, and I doubt anyone will fight against it. If PS4 emulation gets stable enough in 4 years that would be cool, but for now I have to shout out Ryujinx for always having my back. Hopefully the Switch successor helps with this. I see it being emulated somewhat quickly if it's anything like the standard Switch.
It's not exactly necessary to go through the pain of cracking Denuvo because the games drop it eventually or have console ports, a better idea is to focus on the emulators.
pretty sure all of those are piratable on ps4/ps5 or switch except avatar maybe so i guess no it isn't dying
Buy an ad.
i dont wanna play those SHIT not even for free
Not even a year since it came out. We pirate chads always let normies beta test the games for us before playing them
Yeah for multiple reasons

Your post only makes that anon seem all the more in the right.
Giga cope, games are bigger than ever.
don't forget that companies are willing to employ crackers and give them a fat salary to improve the security.

Game has denuvo? Not buying, simple as. Remove it and i'll buy later.
Those are all cracked.
I would have to be paid to play any of these
Infine wealth is the only good one there, rest is shit

I think they finally figured out that only 1/5th of it is good so why not just buy the good stuff
Guessing
that's cope, though, people used to crack fricking everything regardless of quality
it's not dying it's dead
Truth is, the competency crisis is real and has affected the scene as well. People can’t code for shit these days and the ones that can are working lavish gigs at some tech company somewhere. Dark times.
Denuvo won.

Children and teenagers from thirld world countries who didn't play enough goyslop and japslop to realize how bad they are.
DD2 will be goty and you won’t be able to play it uncracked. Just sayin.
I don't play repetitive japslop, so I don't care.
>any game I don’t like is *insert buzzword*_slop
Name me three of your favorite games so I can make fun of you.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Hidden & Dangerous 2
Jagged Alliance 2

Is this what constitutes GOTY for weebs? lol
Man, it's amazing what indie developers can do now thanks to Unreal Engine making development accessible to everyone.
I don't get it. Is this supposed to look bad?
yes, better than your favorite game holy frick i cant wait bros
It is, actually. Piracy is being pushed out for good. People who still say "if buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing, heh" as if that's a checkmate are just uninformed. Companies pursuing lack of ownership means games won't be pirateable, so your little quip is completely pointless.
Looking at ops list. There is nothing there worth playing. I will go back to game emulation for now.
>Is piracy dying?
Thank god, that means we are expected to see a crash sooner than later. If gaming is so bad that nobody is interested in piracy anymore, that says a lot about the state we are in.
It's not lack of interest in piracy, it's the ability for people even being able to do it being taken away.

Sega buys lifetime contracts. None of their games have had denuvo expire.
Come to think of it, yeah any Sega release is usually fricked
Nothing worth pirating these past 2 years
My skidrow is working just fine
