I don’t see how this is much worse than running Denuvo malware to begin with. I treat my windows gaming partition as a disposable DMZ anyway.

This seems like a bad faith argument, the crack is basically installing a rootkit in your system. Its fair to assume a lot of casual users will be as ignorant as you are about the security issues and not re-enable the features.

If you truly can't see why that might be worse then DRM installed in a game your a fool.

If it's a question of installing a rootkit belonging to either the evil pirates who are closer to my kind of evil, or evil corporations who are literally destroying the internet, civilization, and the world in order to masturbate in their AI training gulags with my personal data? I'd choose to trust the pirates every time.

That said, if I have to install a rootkit from anyone to play a fucking game, I'm probably just not playing that fucking game.
