Yup, was just Steam DRM. There's universal tools to crack that. Less so "you can't play our game unless you spend money" and more "it's slightly inconvenient to install this way, innit? Why don't you go buy it instead, bruv?"

I sometimes say that Steam is the best DRM; most advantages for the least inconveniences.

Think a group or person named RUNE cracked it already. At least that's what the reddit post said.

It costs four hundred thousand Red Bulls to crack this video game in twelve seconds.

Too late, the pinkertons are on their way.

[-] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

I mean, if it was gonna be anyone, the Pinkertons would be it. I imagine they're just waiting for the US to become corporate-owned enough that they can operate on US soil without getting in trouble again.

Worst case scenario Ghostwire Tokyo having Denuvo added was a test run for adding it to Starfield. But as long as no denuvo, we got no problem. 😎👍

[-] Sharmat@beehaw.org 14 points 1 year ago

Usually, Denuvo is mentioned in the EULA of the games, so going by this metric, it’s unlikely for it to have Denuvo since there's no mention of it.

Yeah but I feel like Bethesda would be the kinds of people to to hide it until a day one update so they don't have to disclose it to predorererererers.

I doubt it, but either way: stop preordering games.

I remember when I had to pre-order physical copies of games in case my local game store ran out of stock on the first day of a release.

Pre-ordering in 2023 is a scam.

B-b-but my exclusive content!

I feel like Bethesda wouldn't use Denuvo at all, because it would break a lot of mods, and Bethesda games rely heavily on mods to be fun.

ETA: Also, Bethesda games tend to be appallingly slow even without Denuvo, let alone with it.

Still mad that Payday 3 gets denuvo. What a colossal waste. This makes me hesitate to buy it.

Lmao

It was already cracked 2 days ago when the early access for the big pre-order set went live. I've been playing it the whole time.

[-] Entropy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah me too, I made this post the morning before EA went live.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago

Oh damn. I didn't notice the age of the post. The app I use (liftoff) makes it pretty small.

[-] lemming007@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Long time ago, already downloading it

[-] Entropy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I've been playing it all weekend, I made this post the morning before EA went live
