And those exact same people suddenly gain an interest as soon as denuvo is removed? Get real man.

any old $2 lock you put on your front door is protecting your home from the 0 people attempting to break and enter.

“well I wasn’t even trying anyways!” excuse lol

There was a stint of a year or two where cracks took a little longer

I guess I must have entered some utopian parallel universe when I clicked into this thread because I see all these people commenting things like this but I look over to the other sites like crackwatch and cs-rin and literally see that there were 3 legitimate denuvo cracks TOTAL between the between empress’s 2023 crashout and voices38’s public 2026 entry. (Dragon’s Dogma 2 was a debug build leak). Or maybe the excitement of the hypervisor bypass got people hallucinating some revisionist history.

These days the only thing protecting games from piracy isn’t Denuvo, it’s the lack of interest of scene groups in doing the cracking

So when RE4 got cracked once in 2023 by empress, no other patches get cracked for the next 3 years, then denuvo gets removed in 2026, and RUNE cracks the latest version on that very same day, it wasn’t because of denuvo, it was because RUNE suddenly gained interest? as a total coincidence or what?

No, and for that matter Linux can’t survive without for profit corporation labor either.
