  • It’s probably true by definition since I imagine the first batch will only be sold through the steam store 😅. I have the original steam controller and as I’ve been moving towards GOG and Itch my steam client and steam account remains vestigially just as a bloated steam controller driver. Honestly I would also accept it if they let us use the client completely offline without an account as well.






  • Who is this “everyone” you speak of? You realize pirate scene groups are very niche groups of people right?

    There were no denuvo cracks in that period, and according to you it was only because they’re not interested in doing it. Then it must mean nobody was interested no? Otherwise there would have been a crack out in that time?

    Do you think doing a thankless job like that is fun? I don’t think it would be.

    Other games get cracked day 0 even though it’s equally thankless. That obviously isn’t the distinguishing factor.





  • There was a stint of a year or two where cracks took a little longer

    I guess I must have entered some utopian parallel universe when I clicked into this thread because I see all these people commenting things like this but I look over to the other sites like crackwatch and cs-rin and literally see that there were 3 legitimate denuvo cracks TOTAL between the between empress’s 2023 crashout and voices38’s public 2026 entry. (Dragon’s Dogma 2 was a debug build leak). Or maybe the excitement of the hypervisor bypass got people hallucinating some revisionist history.

    These days the only thing protecting games from piracy isn’t Denuvo, it’s the lack of interest of scene groups in doing the cracking

    So when RE4 got cracked once in 2023 by empress, no other patches get cracked for the next 3 years, then denuvo gets removed in 2026, and RUNE cracks the latest version on that very same day, it wasn’t because of denuvo, it was because RUNE suddenly gained interest? as a total coincidence or what?







  • More and more games seem to suck on thier own, but can be great with mods.

    But back then, modded games weren’t anywhere near as common as they are now.

    What are you talking about? What new games with proper modding tools are there? Nobody wants to mod Starfield compared to Skyrim, Most of you probably don’t even know that there are modding tools out for Doom Eternal. CS server mods were effectively neutered by CS2’s matchmaking and skins store. There’s gooner mods for Capcom games and VR plugins I guess. Indie game engines ate the modding community’s lunch.


  • Makes sense that a properly balanced model with randomization turned down should be able to recognize when something is being done outside the acceptable parameters.

    I don’t know how you gathered such a sense when that not being true has been the main laughing point for AI since its inception. Meta AI security and safety researcher Summer Yue’s “Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw ‘confirm before acting’ and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox” was just last month btw.
