That would certainly make me request a refund and just pirate the game.

[-] RonnyZittledong@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

There are no groups currently cracking Denuvo.

[-] kbal@fedia.io 42 points 2 months ago

In that case, request a refund and just forget about the game. It's that little bit worse for the publisher who chose Denuvo.

There are several individuals though. Fitgirl and Empress come to mind.

[-] golli@lemm.ee 45 points 2 months ago

Doesn't fitgirl just repack stuff (compressing the game for smaller download sizes) rather than doing the actual cracking?

[-] Draegur@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago

Oh I get it, fitgirl will Make It FIT! Huh.

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 32 points 2 months ago

Fitgirl

That's a repacker, not a cracker.

[-] Flyswat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 months ago

Cracker? I barely know her?

[-] RonnyZittledong@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Empress has not cracked anything for a long time and Fitgirl has never cracked anything

[-] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 months ago

I think Empress is too busy ranting about trans people to crack games anymore

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

And men in general.

Is anything worth cracking? GTA 6 will be. But what has come out recently is worth the effort?

[-] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Is it because companies tend to strip denuvo from the games after some months?

[-] RonnyZittledong@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think it is mostly due to it being difficult to hack and those with the skill are well employed and don't want to risk legal action or spend the time to crack games.

[-] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, didn't Denuvo themselves hire a few of the former crackers?

[-] Ptsf@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Heads up, Steam has stopped refunding even broken games if it passes the two hour mark (even if it's from sitting there on your system process locked).

[-] kadup@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Illegal where I live, probably why they give me warnings about that but always end up approving the refund
