Source needed for it actually working to reduce piracy. It's possible, but I'm gonna need sources since we know from history that simply providing a better product does more to increase sales and reduce piracy than anything else. People are willing to pay when they get their money's worth. The ones that don't, weren't going to pay anyway, so there's no actual lost sale.
It just makes the bean counters feel better and help justify their position.
It's not really clear if working DRM increases sales. But most Denuvo games don't get cracked, so it definetly prevents most piracy.
Denuvo specifically is only cracked consistently by like three people. A turbo racist, a trans woman, and a dude who only cracks the newest sports games.
Oh has she been confirmed to be trans? Last I heard she was full insane terf. Unless I’m thinking of the turbo racist and missed some scandals.
Idk if confirmed trans but she's also not had the best political takes recently ...
It seems cracking denuvo comes with some insane change to your psyche cause nobody that can do it is normal lol
Does fitgirl do any cracking? I thought she was just a repacker.
Oh you might be right actually
Empress? Turbo racist. There is another person who cannot crack it as consistently but can do it pretty well.
Empress is the cracker.
Look at when games get cracked, it’s very rarely prior to release
That only goes to show that that most of the people capable of cracking a game aren't privy to most pre release channels. First day buyers and pre order simps most likely wouldn't pirate the game at all.
The fact that there currently is no one cracking Denuvo? Empress was the only one cracking and posting new denuvo releases and they've been completely silent for months(possibly over a year? I forget). The only other people cracking denuvo lately are a DRM developerdoing so for the challenge(and not releasing the crack, because they're a DRM dev...) and like one other guy cracking much older versions of denuvo.
