Pirates strike back, cracked latest Denuvo DRM

Oh boy, here we go again...

Freeloaders don't tend to buy a game and rather wait until the DRM is cracked. On the other hand potential paying customers are put off because of the reasons discussed here

and don't buy these games because of reasons.

Games without DRM do sell despite the existence of free to download versions because people appreciate good games and want to support the developers. Shadow Warrior 2 comes to my mind as it did well according to the developers although it had no DRM. The notion you can someone force into buying your product by 'protecting' it with 'insurmountable' DRM is ridiculous and only harms paying customers.

Nothing against DRM per se, but DRM depending on online services feature the potential, that at some point in the future, when the server shut down the game will be unplayable. For example I love playing old console games from NES, SNES, N64 times etc. If they had featured something like denuvo, they probably wouldn't be playable anymore (without hacks/cracks). 

...also no Linux support for Denuvo :/. (Some games come to Linux without Denuvo, so thats a plus).

CPY have had this lined up for a while and at no time did the latest version of Denuvo seem "impenetrable" to anyone but the gullible publishers/developers that believe Denuvo Software Solutions' marketing department. CPY have been sitting on this to maximise the damage its release will cause to Denuvo Software Solutions GmbH. It's all become very politicised; CPY aren't merely cracking Denuvo games, they have a clear agenda to undermine its creators and spread doubt among its adopters.

To be perfectly frank, I applaud them for taking such a strategy. Before anyone accuses me of being a pirate, I'm a professional software developer so I don't condone piracy in any form - it directly affects me in a very negative way. I pay for the games I play and the software I use, always. But I refuse to use Denuvo, either as a creator or a consumer. I won't implement it in my own work and I won't buy games that implement it because I feel it's a highly anti-consumer technology. We're all better off without it and CPY have a very measured, intelligent strategy to realise this - something that's really quite unprecedented in the ungoverned world of software cracking.

Cheers!

Is there any recent AAA game that resulted impossible (so far) to crack?

Nope

I wonder if it's even worth it for the companies, since every gets cracked in about a month.

I don't like DRM, and I have had different DRMs mess up my machine in various ways. After the Baldur's Gate debacle where it kept constantly pinging the drive so that it sounded like it was grinding, and the game was rather slow for me, and unplayable for my friends with lesser boxes, I went and got a no-cd crack. That totally killed the drive pinging, and the game sped way up!  Told my friends, they got the crack, and suddenly they could play as well !  The company rather pretended the problem didn't exist, but after a while they released a patch, that coincidentally removed the DRM. 

Ever since then, I've pretty much vowed to avoid DRM whenever possible. They give no value to us players, and on too many occasions are a liability to us. Of course, they are also ultimately futile. As long as it is readable, it can be defeated, all it takes is someone with the skill and desire.

Support DRM Free!

oh oh no good :(
