I don't pirate games but after reading this, I DEFINITELY will not pirate games. If these clowns are the ones cracking/repacking the games then I do NOT trust the games to not contain malware/bullshit/whatever. Maybe I'm being paranoid but I wouldn't go anywhere near software put out by these people. They sound like the types to include malware just to frame the other group or whatever. Idk. These people are morons.

There are a lot of other legit crackers besides these two

I thought I read there's only like 1 that does DRM cracking anymore. That's not the case?

[–] totallynotfbi@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is for a specific DRM called Denuvo. Most games don't have it, but the big titles do

Is there only 1 that does denuvo?

[–] ram@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Anymore? Yes. Used to be more, but at this point it's basically just the shittiest person of the bunch.

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 6 points 1 year ago

It appears only the most deranged of the bunch are willing to dedicate their time cracking Denuvo.
