They (the general public AND 3DM, to TorrentFreak, bunch of whiners IMO) said Denuvo was the death of cracking and piracy. 3DM: No games crackable in 2 years time, said the headline.
now the cracking scene, which was mostly dying, has seen some revival.
It has adapted, but it's a slow moving ship.
Now a new generation (or the older generation, who knows, I'm just relaying my own observations)) are taking everything being thrown at them: encryption, virtualization, obfuscation, changing keys each patch, etc and making it look like light work to crack properly.
They make short, short work of it for the amount of complexity involved. So I hope they continue to throw new things at them with Denuvo, to keep them interested.
One group cracks the base game, sometimes someone else grabs all the updates and rolls them into a cracked patch, etc.
It's nice to see some life return to something that was basically dead, made automated.
My personal favorite Canibus track is Master Thesis, though.
It's not clear how exactly harmful they aren't, either. The truth is, no one knows. They certainly haven't done any harm to me thus far, and we aren't yet hearing reports of vapers dropping dead, so I think it's safe to assume they're relatively harmless. (at least in the short term.)
Psychedelics are a tool to be used for self discovery, not some seedy thing only losers use. Maybe you are the one who is blinded by preconceptions here, not him.
Blow it out your ass pops, you're making shit up.
This kind of flatout lying is even worse than people who pretend drugs have no risks. Making risks up to scare people into agreeing with you is no better.
maybe your standards of "usability" are skewed.
This is incredibly clever and a great way to use IAP-type stuff.
isn't VAT universally hated?
is it cowardly? well, yeah. but can you really blame anyone else for not wanting to mess up what they have? I mean, let's be realistic.
some people just see what they want to see, though, I suppose.
they are already nearly indistinguishable from malware.
your average anti-virus program will flag a cracked executable every time, and you can routinely spot the less savvy users by viewing any torrent comment section and looking for "AVG FLAG AS TROJAN DO NOT DOWNLOAD"
I am curious but also slightly worried about what it will be.
good points though.
