Someone makes better armour, someone else makes something to get through.
This.
Ironically, they profit from each other.
If hackers didn't exist Denuvo and other safety companies would go bankrupt.
hackers have and always will exist so this is kind of a moot point, no?
It's literally only this autistic troony still cracking denuvo. Everyone else got jobs in the industry. The "scene" is on life support.
It's never going to disappear forever. This stuff ebbs and flows. We are at a low point of piracy and it's mostly because games are so easily accessible and many of them are discounted or free if you have game pass. Eventually, when people begin to feel the squeeze and don't have as much disposable income, or the developers become too predatory (there's already a high demand for private servers for games like Genshin Impact). Then you will see a demand for piracy and believe me there is always someone to fill that demand.
You're such a moron man.
The people making the armor are funded with millions of dollars, the people making the weapons aren't making anything at all.
the U.S. army spen millions on Vietnam and got beat by rice farmers who dug pits filled with sharp sticks tipped with their own shit
wait till you hear what happened in afghanistan
Yes, it is trivial for defenders to win.
The people making the armor also have families and loved ones
not for long.
Willing to bet the lone hacker is making more than any given code monkey at Denuvo.
>the people making the weapons aren't making anything at all.
oh anon you sweet summer child.
the cracking scene is quite lucrative.
companies pay cracking groups to delay the release of their cracks for starters.
this is particularly rampant in software cracks rather than just games but razor1191, reloaded and fairlight all got paid on multiple occasions to delay releasing their crack for a few days.
>razor1191
>reloaded
>Fairlight
When was the last time they cracked anything?
reloaded and razor did something last year.
Difference is only one person is left making that "armour piercing weapon", and she's begging for bitcoin in Russia before being motivated to even do anything kek
Switch doesnt have this problem 🙂
Switch will have denuvo soon.
Shitch also doesn't have games

The switch has so many more problems than DRM than it actually deters me more than DRM itself.
Name 1 game with denuvo worth playing
When plate mail was made to stop swords, people adapted by switching to maces, axes, a gun, or even a peasant's hammer.
Why pirate the games that ARE worth playing?
>Why pirate the games that ARE worth playing?
because they know they're good games and have nothing to hide unlike denuvo games.
So buy them and give them a reason to keep making good games?
As the customer, I hold all the cards. I decide which business practice I support, and which I do not. If a game has Denuvo, I'm not going to buy it. Simple as that. I just do not support what it has become. If the publisher doesn't like it, they can stop using it.
Sure, but why pirate a game that doesn't have Denuvo, heavy monetization, or themes that oppose yours, beyond as a demo?
That's going quite beyond the scope of the initial question and turning rather subjective, I think.
I'm asking mostly about the "Well I guess you can still pirate those 10 bucks indie games..." part.
Pirate it as a demo. Buy it if you liked your first playthrough.
Some people are just poor.
Some people don't know if they will like a game or not and would rather try it first instead of play the gambling game with Steam as to when they realize the game isn't worth their money.
I pirated TWW2 after seeing some random video about it. Now I own TWW1, TWW2, and TWW3 with all the DLC. That's a fricking moronic (literally me dumb dumb) monetary investment. And it only happened because they took Denuvo out of TWW2 after a couple years and I pirated the game+Tomb Kings DLC.
I get if someone genuinely doesn't have the money, but I ask this question mostly about people WITH disposable income.
I just told you.
>Some people don't know if they will like a game or not and would rather try it first instead of play the gambling game with Steam as to when they realize the game isn't worth their money.

Yeah, but since you pirated the game and lost them 1 sale, the publisher still didn't make any money off your later purchase 🙁
I see your point and I think this is a common anecdote, but if the bean counters at the publishers actually had evidence that pirating ultimately increases sales they wouldn't spend millions on Denuvo license. Remember, they are operating on much more information than any of us are in regards to cost/benefit analysis when implementing DRM, etc
Nah, pirates is a good argument to explain disappointing sales, which a lot of AAA games suffer now considering their ridiculous costs and the stupidly high expectations of suits (particularly square and capcom). And playing this argument, you need some anti-pirate software to reassure the decision makers.
So why can't they make games with less photorealistic graphics and mocapped cutscenes, that are more iterative than reinventing the wheel each game?
Because suits are pretty sure that graphix, quips and action is what sell the most. Exactly as in the film industry.
And just like with the film industry you get diminishing returns everytime. I remember watching an interview with James Cameron where he was asked about his opinion on marvel films. I've never seen someone chortle with such disdain. He knows it's all shit. And now we see it clearly with Vfx artist bringing in lawsuits against Disney. The rumors of blacklisting artists who don't shit out crap for shitty pay. The 50% drop in ticket sales over the last 4 years years hasn't tipped you off? We're reaching critical mass with this graphixgay nonsense.
Cameron's Avatars are not much different from Marvel's copy-pasted movies though.
I agree that it's all shit though, but that's currently what suits want.
Pretty sure nobody wants a 50% drop in sales dude. These idiots seemingly don't care.
They just don't get why it stopped working. They thought they had the formula for infinite dough, but they don't understand that people got bored of the same shit after a while (and the COVID did not help). Nonetheless, the FIFA franchise shows that it might be slightly different for video games.
Also note that these risk adverse board executives like sequels, reboots and spin-offs much more than original IP, which is part of the current curse on video games and movies.
The FIFA lads are not big customers for gaming though. They'll probably only play FIFA, Football Manager, CoD and GTA.
It's funny you used James Cameron as an example when Avatar is his and the world's best selling film of all time and the only worth that film had at all was its graphics. Unless you're now going to say that Avatar's story was definitely just the peak of the entire medium.
Frick no, Dances with Smurfs and Finding Nemo 2022 piss me off. But he is right, he made all his money off that one trick, his entire life has been chasing that dragon
>Nah, pirates is a good argument to explain disappointing sales
>for games that also sell like shit on platforms without piracy
you are functionally moronic
That's the thing. They don't have bean counters telling them it increases sales. If anything it decreases sales because of hardline "NEVER EVER" Anti-Denuvo people. It's just a solution for a bogeyman fabricated by faceless boardroom mooks. Scare them into thinking they will lose 5-10% of their sales to piracy and they will literally force the Developers under them to include it. But reality is it's like 1% of players that pirate a game and half of those were too poor to buy it while the other half won't even consider it now without a trial.
Denuvo is just a leech trying to make money off scaremongering contracts. Just look at them making Switch-Denuvo. Unsolicited anti-piracy that Nintendo isn't ever going to use. It's meant to scam second/third-party developers to sign contracts. Just like non-switch games. That's why it gets removed after a few years usually. Publisher doesn't want to pay the leech anymore for protection it was tricked into thinking it needed.
>I, stupid fricking moron, know better than the actual companies with full information about their own sales!
How fricking deluded do you have to be?
The only known study about piracy was unable to conclude that piracy harmed sales, and it was buried. If there were studies that showed otherwise, it would be public.
>t-the only known study...
You are a tremendously ignorant homosexual. It actually sickens me to think you fancy yourself so smart. Please have a nice day.

Nice job, imbecile moron; You linked the study the corsearch article starts with and think you scored a gotcha. Your mom should have drank just a little bit more to actually kill you instead of merely leaving you braindamaged.
>why would I distrust this study about the health effects of sugar? Some of the sugar magnates' best minds worked on it!
>food analogy
Food analogies are the best analogies. Everyone eats, everyone has diverse opinions, the preparation and consumption of food are complex processes that allow for lots of room for parallel structure.
you dastardly black bastard, you come in here with your talk of education but all you really wanna do is act like you're smarter than everyone else to boost your ego. if you can't get with the groupthink of Ganker then shut the frick up and get out of the way.
I can reference biased articles too, anon.
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/09/eu-study-finds-piracy-doesnt-hurt-game-sales-may-actually-help/
>The same EU-commissioned study found one important exception to its findings: piracy of recent top box office hits. Pirated versions of ‘recent top films’ resulted in a displacement rate of 40 percent — for every ten blockbusters watched illegally, four fewer films were watched legally.
This is an important point that's often ignored, "does piracy hurt sales" isn't all black and white. The ones it hurts the most are big studios, while indies might even benefit more from the extra word-of-mouth marketing than they're missing out on lost sales.
Which means you should keep pirating to hurt the AAA industry as much as possible.

Once I see a company make an argument more intelligent than "Our game was pirated N times, therefore we lost N * price amount of money to piracy" I'll start taking them seriously.
Besides, company knows best isn't even an argument. Companies routinely shoot themselves in the foot with moronic decisions, not a single company would ever go under due to their own mistakes if they were as hyper competent as you try to paint them.
>The company knows better than all of you!
Yeah, nah, there's moronic c**ts at all levels.
Prime example were those leaked Sony e-mails.
Have you even seen any of the moronic NFT-focused decisions of the past year?
Attributing intelligent capability to companies just because they're companies? Frick off, man.
>As a customer I hold the cards
ROFL no you don't.
The hordes of mindless sheep hold the cards. It's the same reason why democracy is an utter failure outside of small homogeneous communities.
>ROFL no you don't.
So you say, Mr. Publisher, but you aren't going to see a penny of my money all the same. Hurts, doesn't it? Of course it does. Otherwise, why would you be trying so hard to prevent piracy and market the game to me? Well, tough luck.
the marketing isn't FOR YOU though, it's for the generic masses that ads and IGN reviews actually affect
They're still expending money and time to push the product at me. I've been seeing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands ads in my YouTube apps for months now.
Seems like a waste of money to me, doing that, as I'm not buying it anyway.
This is how I operate as well. It helps me sift through games faster. New games come out everyday. I don't have time to check every one I'm interested in. Denuvo let's you know something immediately about a game/studio without even seeing so much as a screenshot.
>As the customer, I hold all the cards.
LMFAO, no you don't.
If it's good other people will buy the game.
Do you yourself not have the funds to buy the good games, or would you rather put it into getting a skin in Fortinte/CSGO/LoL, or a new playable character in Genshin?
how do i know it's good game without trying it out? cybershluck 2077 didn't have denuvo and it was garbage.
It's was fine 8/10. Like a less annoying version of EYE
>It's was fine 8/10
>it was fine
>8/10
>cybershluck
>fine 8/10
did i read that right?
A lot of people like it, particularly since they fixed most of the bugs. It has good character building and interesting characters and stories. It's not a futuristic GTA though, so if you expected that you'd be disappointed.
>A lot of people like it
so that makes it an 8/10?
stop dgging your whole further
you're fricking moronic
they should make games out of their hearts, not my problem
In order for that to happen, there needs to be a way they can make a game without microtransactions or things that make BlackRock happy, while keeping the lights on, and food at their tables.
they can get a real job and make games for free

>verification server goes offline

No thanks bro. Not buying.
>Why pirate the games that ARE worth playing?
Because the vast majority of pirates are poor as frick. You think some favela monkey will be spending their 3 month wage just to get the finest AAA slop?
people kept using spears moron.
Monster Hunter Rise
It was cracked anyway.
Rise is worse than world which is worse than 4U. The only reason to ever play it would be the online scene being bigger.
4U is better than World for sure, World is the worst "game" in the series because the cutscenes are unskipable and thus it is too much of a headache to make a new character and that means that there is a limited amount of hunting you can even do before you reach the end and have nothing left to grind. That is a travesty of design and really makes the game bad, just pure trash. At least with Rise you can make new characters and fly through the low ranks and start grinding again in no time. What is the reason for playing a game if you are just going to be maxed out in gear and skills? That is peak boredom and that is all World has to offer, boredom.

yea this is the only one i can think of
but i dont care
im not starved for games to play

monster hunter i guess, but pretty much all AAA publisher has been producing nothing but trash, and they are the only one that can afford to pay for denuvo

>The only reason I'm stealing it is because [insert excuse]
If a game is worth playing, it's worth buying. Black folk like you are the reason games today are all garbage. Nobody is going to make games for people who don't pay. Normies may subsidize your hobby but they get to choose what the industry shits out.
>If a game is worth playing, it's worth buying
Lmao
>stopped paying for games
>complains that they're all shit now
Lmao
>If a game is worth playing, it's worth buying.
And worth is subjective, so you're surrounded by people who are and you yourself, are the reason games are shit today.
Hey, if you like goyslop and you're getting it for free, more power to ya. But if you're saying you steal games because they're shit, you're just trying to justify being a Black person at your own expense long-term.
>you're saying you steal games because they're shit, you're just trying to justify being a Black person at your own expense long-term.
>Nobody is going to make games for people who don't pay.
Hey, you mind putting those goalposts back? Im sure you didnt mean to run away from your earlier implication the reason goyslop is everywhere is because pirates dont pay.
>the reason goyslop is everywhere is because pirates dont pay.
100% correct. That's literally how capitalism works.
Huh, really? So tell me sweatie, where did your contribution go? Surely you're not a AAA-goyslop loving normalgay or an icky poorgay pirate, right?
I was paying while you were stealing games like a Black person.
paying...for what? Come on. Answer the question. Where did your contribution go?
The developers I supported packed it up because Black folk like you couldn't resist stealing their games.
>because Black folk like you couldn't resist stealing their games.
huh? Whatever happened to that thing you said earlier?
>Nobody is going to make games for people who don't pay.
You clearly paid! And yet it seems like capitalism shat all over you....
Or maybe you're just lying out your ass and actually are a AAA-guzzling normalgay.
>you were one person who pays, and yet the entire company didn't make a game for you, hmmm curious!
Whoa, mind = blown. Really made me think, please accept my concession, Jamal! I kneel!
>Y-You cant hold me to my words! Let me blame pirates for everything waaaaaaahhh!!!
How adorable! I do so love bullying normalgays
What was my word again, Jamal?
Why cant you read, sweatie? It's in my earlier reply.Is Ganker too hard for you? Or maybe english?
Which reply was that again, Jamal?
Why do you lack the basic comprehension to figure it out yourself, sweatie? Had too much goyslop lately?
But Jamal, I thought you loved stealing Goyslop!
But sweatie, goyslop is protected by Denuvo! Hell, the point of the thread is you bragging how I cant steal that!
Good point, Jamal. Sounds like you're going to have to get a job to satiate your addiction to goyslop! Oi vey!
How could I be addicted to something Im apparently too poor to afford in the first place? Even your projection makes no sense. Why are you so dumb, sweatie? Did the goyslop you paid for do so much damage to your brain?
You can't, that's why you're here seething about denuvo, Jamal.
So now Im seething that Im missing out on goyslop...?
lmao you sound addicted to goyslop sweatie. So that bit earlier was projection on your end, huh?
Why else would you be seething over denuvo, Jamal?
But Im not seething tho? Didnt I say it earlier? I love bullying normalgays. Seeing you writhe as I mock your goyslop addiction has been a lot of fun
>throws a tantrum over denuvo
>But Im not seething tho?
It's okay sweetie. Just get a job and you won't have to continue your homierdly ways.
>throws a tantrum over denuvo
I threw a tantrum over missing out on goyslop...?
Your desperate projection is just so funny, sweatie. I almost feel bad for getting this premium entertainment for free!
>I threw a tantrum over missing out on goyslop...?
Experiencing memory loss, Jamal? Yeesh, your mental illness is worse than I thought. Maybe you should see a medical professional before finding work, bud.
I love how you're so desperate to defend your pecious goyslop you're making things up now.
It's so amusing to watch. I think I'll hold off on asking you to try prove your cute delusions a while longer
>steals goyslop
>y-you're defending goyslop!
meds
>chugs goyslop
>Y-you're addicted too! You want it, you want to steal it for yourself, you wont pay for this precious goyslop like I do!
The desperation is somewhat surreal, but ridiculously entertaining to watch.
Dont worry sweatie, I cant steal your precious goyslop. We already went over this, remember?

Not that guy, but at the time it came out, Witcher 3 was the most pirated game ever.
Does CDPR seem like they're doing poorly financially because of it?
Not advocating for or against, but the reality is piracy impacts profits FAR less than publishers would have you believe. It's something like 3% of all pirates account for 85% of all piracy.
>It's something like 3% of all pirates account for 85% of all piracy.
It doesn't matter as much for goyslop titles since there are far more normies paying today. If the Witcher 3 was "the most pirated game ever" in the suprnova days, CDPR would be nothing more than an entry on wikipedia today.
>If the Witcher 3 was "the most pirated game ever" in the suprnova days,
It actually was. How will you cope now?
The Witcher 3 was my favorite game of 1995. What a based game. I stole it, of course.
>it s my fault games are shit
wtf you talking about? GAMES have bigger and bigger budgets, the higher the budget the shittier the game
Handball 2005
Jurassic World Evolution 2
I literally can't
Empress is dead you mean, troony with a popular name too focused on "personal projects (living off your money). But as soon as anyone finds a crack it ALL becomes worthless, the money lost would be a nightmare to answer for. I imagine that's why you shills are so worried.
Buttpirates BTFO
Nah she's just hyping it up so that when she releases a patch she can really btfo of denuvo like a champ. I believe in you, queen!!!
No worthwhile games launch with Shitnuvo.
>inb4 le fox and grapes
No lol. That's pretending people want to pirate the plethora of trash that uses Denuvo and not a select title here or there that gets cracked.
OH NO NO NO PC CHADS
THERE GOES ONE OF OUR ARGUMENTS JUSTIFYING BUYING $3000 GAMING MACHINES
How's that PS5 with it's massive library of 3 exclusives treating you?
It's their only argument. Even PC having "free online" is offset by insane GPU prices, and at least when I pay for PS+ I'm also getting "free" games.
The only benefit PC gaming has anymore is modding and even that's kinda dead.
>i have to have the highest end graphics cards!

Any company that makes me buy a game with Denuvo will receive a nighttime visit to their offices where the damages I do will cost them hundreds of dollars in insurance premiums.
You can't get your money back, but you can make it go to waste (and with interest).
Awww, babby needs to get a job, how cute.
>>Make AI

>zoomertard moment
We are still lightyears away from making anything remotely close to actual Artificial Intelligence. The best we can do is make a very complicated algorithm that just parses data fast. Also, why bother teaching an A.I. to crack games? If it can learn to do that it can make games for you.
>Doesn't realize that AI only learns from stuff that already exists
I guess I have to start buying games now. Good thing I have a job
You've never pirated a game.
i remember the same cracking is now unpossible posts showing up for when denuvo first even came out
Denuvo doesn't have to make a game uncrackable when 80% of a game's sales are in the first week and 90% the first month. If Denuvo delays the crack even a week it's done its job as far as developers are concerned.
okay, i don't care if other people have to pay for it as long as i don't
So? I still play games from 15-20 years ago, I'm sure I can wait for 1-2 months after a game releases.
Maybe if troonperor didn't let all his fellow crackers get run off, he'd have more resources.
It's not just that, disassembly is tedious and you can get more clout cracking software that is actually useful (unlike games). There are actually a lot of tutorials around on reverse engineering and I've found that it isn't all that difficult to get started.
>begging for "donations"
Man the economy really has gone to shit.

And to think, we're not even at the point where DRM is utilizing AI. That's when it's truly over. If humans are already outpacing crackers, imagine when they're against multi-corporation funded AI developed DRM.

These are your options in the next 5 years. Piratechads lost.
gamepass, humblebundle sales, free epic store games.
cd keys.
there are cheaper ways. spending 60/70 euros on a base version of a game on day1 is moronic.
I have a job, and I spent 120€ on games in the past 5 years. Exactly two games worth my money came out
Why doesn't empress make a new cracking scene, is that even tough to make?
--------
Denuvo gets better and better.
We won, denuvobros.
How is this a problem when games nowadays are hot garbage anyway? I can pirate anything I want pre 2014.
Good. Pirates are leeches, and they're the reason shitty DRM exists. The only reasonable justification is when it's simply not feasible to acquire the product legally. Everything else is cope.
>InfinityGoddess
Wasn't the last big game cracker an egirl too? Is half of the experience of piracy envisioning some eastern european coder girl (that's probably a dude) cracking the game for you and simping for her?
I'll buy grey market and support the laundering of money by enemies of the United States
Why do you keep making these threads? Do you have a stake in Dejewvo?
If he didn't post you wouldn't notice its existence. So... Hate-vertisement
Nobody wants to spend weeks reverse engineering Denuvo for no pay when you can get a real job.
I remember when piracy died after dozen other new hot DRM protections were introduced.
>it hasn't happened before!
>that means... it can't happen now!! or le ever!!!
lol
Uncrackable drm is impossible. It's only a matter of time.
it's not about it being crackable
it's about nobody wanting to crack it
It's only a matter of time until a hacker appears who wants to crack it as a challenge.
>wasting months of your life for free

>I am a huge homosexual and I love Black person wieners in my ass
cool but no one asked
what IQ does it take to be able to crack games? what sort of stuff do you have to know about programming?
i'm just wondering how long it'd take someone who is new to programming to get to the point they could crack a denuvo game from 2018 or whenever.
My own guess is being able to """"read"""" decompiled code, and having the patience and autism to do so
You are basically untangling a disgustingly large ball of yarn, but you can't actually see what is going on inside
Depends on your dedication. Couple of years if you train daily.
Start with basics of programming, 2 8 16 base systems, hex editors.
Move onto assembly, c and c++
Then start studying reverse engineering of x86/x64 programs.
On top of that study methods of digital security, you need to know how to implement drm in order to crack it.
Watch and read articles and books, practice on crackmes.
As for your personal system requirements, average iq maybe won't be enough, that's why i suck at it, but i just started so maybe there's more with practice.
You can crap on empress all your want, but she's outstanding.
>inb4 she
I don't care at this point. She does this amazing things out of sheer rage against the drm plague. She can call herself however she likes.
Empress is a transphobic and racist pos. She is terrible for the emulation community!

jews are allergic to work. they have their golems do all the dirty work.
>sheer cunning
you mean lack of morals. there's nothing further from a moral life than backstabbing and dishonest trickery.
Survival of the fittest, capitalism. israelites won. Seethe, chud.
so capitalism kills more than mosquitoes , go to bed vurgin,.
Not to shit on these crack groups but part of the issue is that the talent that was in these groups is gone. They are in a state of transition until some new talented individuals want to take up the challenge. I knew a guy who did this for fun, he was in the same CS program as me and this was his programming challenge because the clubs and the ones the professors offered were a joke to him.
>crapcom
why even bother?
Can any linux/steam deck bros help me with pirating this?
Thanks
>Well I guess you can still pirate those 10 bucks indie games...
I don't mind paying 10 bucks for an indie game. I'll pirate the shit out of any indie that charges or ever charged more than that though.
I'm sure now that I can't even try games I had no intention to play and therefore buy to see if maybe they're decent this time and deserve my money I will suddenly start buying them blind instead of just ignoring them completely
Nooooooooooooooo you don't understand. You're secretly mad and do want to play them. You only pretending you're not interested to seem cool. You have to accept my headcanon as the truth!
a man could crack it in a weekend
>Well I guess you can still pirate those 10 bucks indie games...
Actually you can pirate all but 29 games.
>walk into physical store
>slip a game under my coat
When the enemy is focused on countering high-tech piracy, switch to low-tech instead.
Unfathomably based, Tyrone. Together we'll teach the white man that he can't stop us from stealing video games.
Piracy has been on its last legs for a while, Codex’s retirement was the final nail
good
sending money to a troony is never a good idea
>Mfw I have a hacked PS4 that can pirate Denuvo stuff like THPS1+2, Persona 5 R, and RE8
>PS4
Well, I guess that's that, I'll never play any nu-AAA game. Kept waiting for that Tony Hawk remake, but I guess it's truly over that piracy scene is dead unless something drastic changes.
why not get a job?
I am too much of a jew to spend money on entertainment, plus I know I'll be a compulsive buyer.
does SE remove denovo after a while? I don't want to pay for FF16 when it comes to PC
Russians got tired of cracking your games, it's thankless job nobody ever game them a simple thanks
Zelenograd kids were never good, it was all chinks and europoors.
>Nintendo Switch game cards will cost $70 but will be upgraded to 64 gigabytes.
>20 gigabytes are deticated to always online Denuvo DRM.
>To play portably you will need a data plan from a mobile provider as Denuvo will lock you out your games in airplane mode.
This is the future you choose.
but i have a Steam Deck tho?
Soon the Steam client will have Denuvo. Also you'll have to buy a Deck with 5G later.
>Soon the Steam client will have Denuvo
moron
Windows will have Denuvo soon to prevent pirated versions of the OS. Windows will also need to be always online.
cool, i hope that happens to cucked windows users, i'm using linux anyway.
Neuralink will have Denuvo. If you leave the city or stray too far off the highway then you become a comatose vegetable until authorities "rescue" you.
Windows will never have strong DRM because all the third-world pajeets will either stick to the old, pirated versions and flood Microsoft with support tickets for shit that was already fixed for the rest of time, or they'll switch to Linux.
Very few consumers actually buy Windows these days, most of its sales comes from OEMs or volume licenses for business. The only real reason to actually buy it is if you're building a PC, even upgrades have been free since 10.
>Piracy is dead
I dunno man. My 20tb "backup" folder begs to differ
Ah yes because some troony tryhard is incompetent that means that denuvo is not useless now
No, I don't want to pay for Soul Hackers 2. I want to pirate it. Don't die before cracking that.
I just wait until games are bargain bin to buy them.
I bought the Witcher 3 for 5$ a few days ago
if you can get excited for playing a game that came out 10 years ago that you didn't play when it came out... I guess
All you are saying is you don't care for a game being good. Social validation and hype aren't video games.
ong this bruh all the hype is gone when the games are in the bargain bin frfr
That's the most pathetic thing I read all week, this better be bait.
There's hasn't been a AAA game worth playing for decades. Indie games are actually good.
It's quite surprising that anti piracy is actually legit after all these years.
Can some based anon please give a quick rundown on how the modern anti piracy works?
>"well I guess you can still pirate 99% of games...
Yeah? What's the problem? Also you can just emulate MH Rise if you want to play it that bad.
We all knew video games would end. Why continue playing them? Read a book.
By 2040 you will never be able to play a video game again. Prepare yourself.
why is there ever only 1 person working on it?
What happened to cracking teams, im sure it can be done in a years time or so
what happened to that crazy woman who got charged or something?
Everyone got old
Probably hired by the companies themselves or just a regular job, also AAA is not even worth pirating
But shills take it as a victory, not knowing that if the videogame industry falls like the comic one, they will lose their jobs
Denuvo gets dropped by the publisher/company/dev after the license expires since it's too expensive to keep rolling, especially following the first 6 months of release unless it's some big ass company like Microshit and EA trying to protect their skinnerboxes like FIFA and Madden.
People who never intended to buy the game, won't buy the game, piracy does not affect sales, piracy is the only way to truly own games in the digital era.
For any contrarian, shill, troll or general buygay with 0 impulse control, I will physically manifest through your screen, rape you and kill you.
>last hard-to-crack decent game was RDR2
Since the latest AAA games so far are pure goyslop and gaijinslop, i dont care, maybe when a real banger thats pure ludo kino comes out ill start to worry
Good, because that's all I play.
You can refund a game on steam within 3 playtime hours and you gulet your money back in less than a day. Hell I think debit cancelationsare instant. You third worlders pirating "just to try it before I buy it bro!" Are full of shit. These excuses made sense 10 years ago.
I pirate because I want to OWN the game, not RENT it from the Publisher, Gaben, Snoy, Microshaft, Ubishit, EAss or Denuvo
Then be straight up about it. People who still say, "I'm only pirating to see if I want to buy it!" Are so disingenuous and it blows my mind how after seeing this shit on Ganker for 15 years, people STILL don't point out the massive hole in that excuse.
because devs front load their games. Want me to make a list of every game since the refund policy was enacted that goes to shit after the 2 hour mark?
I'll absolutely conced to that one. My metric for purchase is that I expect to get 2 hours for every dollar spent. If it's some $10 game that I can enjoy for 20 hours then I'm happy to buy it. Then again, I know in 2-3 hours if I like a game that much or not, so I guess we play different types of games
You mean physical copies? It's 2023, ya fricking boomer
Besides, what's so bad about logging in to your acc on any PC and downloading what you wanna play?
please kys, grandpa
>trying too hard to troll at fricking Ganker of all places
your reddit is showing Black person tourist.
>>
>You mean physical copies?
This zoomer doesn't even get the concept of ownership
> what's so bad about logging in to your acc
Lmao
>the services doesn't work/has been terminated/encounters an error/thinks I did something with the product/straight up won't work if I mod it in some way
Guess no vidya for me in these situations.
Have you tried using your brain? It has more uses than as filler for your skull.
Now that you mention it, i remember R* gutted GTAIV's and SA soundtrack on Steam and the games were never the same
Ok, i concede and agree completely
The demake versions of GTA 3, Vice City and SA don't have their original soundtracks, meanwhile in a pirated game, Michal Jackson will always be the first song you hear on the radio in Vice City.
Buygays have no rebuttal to this, This is why piracy is a necessity in digital distribution. I understand digital distribution exists because shit got too big to write on physical media, but I don't think publishers and devs can't give people the option to use installers to install their game from downloaded files, they don't want to do it, because they hate people owning things, it means they can't change shit whenever they see fit and restrict who can gain access to their shit.
Look a Russia, if your shit government decides to do a bad, you are suddenly banned from digital distribution for no fault of your own which means you have no access to the shit YOU bought.
>The demake versions of GTA 3, Vice City and SA don't have their original soundtracks
is this real? what a piece of shit
soundtracks while driving are like half of the experience for me
It's true, they don't have the original soundtrack because Take2 didn't want to shell out money to renew the license on those songs.
i see the error of my ways now
For old games, I agree. Preservation is becoming a reality for a lot of shit from '00-'10, but modern games really only have a few justifyable cases like every paradox game, Dead or Alive, or any other game that preys on buygays with in-game mtx gated content. Most people, though are in neither of these camps and just want free shit. Which is ok. What's annoying, though, is the grandstanding , attentiongayging, and moral aggression that most pirates display just because they downloaded a fricking video game that someone else cracked off the internet for free. Its asinine.
>For old games, I agree
>For new games, I dont, you have to pay the poor starving.corporations
Of course pirates will engage in moral grandstanding contests against you. You're a hypocrite for literally no reason, and that makes you prime trolling bait
>fricks your shit into the dirt
Go suck a game CEO’s wiener.
>and you gulet your money back in less than a day
only on steam wallet
>Hell I think debit cancelationsare instant
sounds like a pain to do
I still do it sometimes when I plan on using the money for other stuff, but it's effectively the same as pirating. Most games I pirate I don't ever play that much other than the sims 4 which I played for some time, but not a lot compared to what I actually own anyway.
Still not buying tho.
And you will get nothing, as deserved
as if he's missing anything
>Ganker hates vidya
And the sky is blue
>gaming itself is moving to a crash because WEF wants it to push their GAAS agenda
Fricking Darth israelite and Darth Sholomo Kissinger
good thing there hasn't been a single AAA release worth playing in the last 5 years at least.
I only play games on GOG, if it's not on there, I won't even bother playing it.
I've pirated hundreds of games, but good riddance
Pirates are insufferable attention-prostitute homosexuals that need to remind everyone they downloaded the game for free.
Piracy died the day Razor1911 left
I will keep pirating. Globohomosexual will NEVER have my money.
the only games with soul anymore are never finished one dev porn games you can get for free
You just have mental problems.
i had mental problems my whole life
i used to feel some deph in games
only those porn games are labors of love anymore, everything else is souless mass produced crap
Now I don't pay for anything and even I pay for Monster Hunter.
What the frick are you spending your money on that's worth it more than Monster Hunter?
>still pirating modern games
>still purchasing modern games
you homosexuals deserve this, i'm not even exaggerating you spend all your time on the cutting edge of video games will simultaneously b***hing about how bad it is, and then getting cut and screaming here about how bad it is
ONE MORE TIME homosexual:
STOP PLAYING NEW GAMES
If they can't break denuvo then modders will go back to the old reliable of modchips that bypass disc detection and just burn copies of BD-Rs.
What game from CAPCOM is even worth pirating?
everything gets cracked eventually
