Wonder what Denuvo is going to do about this

Fitgirl's statement:


Yes, I know PRAGMATA release files have been leaked. Yes, I know that PRAGMATA was Hypervisor-bypassed. No, I won’t put my repack before an official release date and time. I don’t support leaks and I don’t like when people do something for hype only. Legit users, who paid for their game deserve to play it first. Not the pirates. It doesn’t matter how much you hate Denuvo or Capcom, those games are there because people buy something from developers and publishers. And when those who don’t pay get an Advanced Access while legit customers suck their fingers is just plain wrong.

Of course, not every releaser share my principles and you’ll see releases popping here and there, but I’ll keep my stance. Leaks are bad. Don’t do leaks. Don’t use leaks. You’ve waited for years, you can wait a few hours more.

you don't pirate the game because you care for the devs, i don't pirate the game because it looks bad, we are not the same

also imagine installing what is essentially an unremovable rootkit on your computer to play death stranding if it was bad

Even if it was a good looking game, fuck hypervisor.

Already feels like I'm poking the jenga tower with (1.) fitgirl repacks constantly try to play their music, "redirect websites", and open their site (all minor but, cmon, can you please...) and (2.) another repacker had "FREE SOFTWARE CLICK HERE.URL" in the files and constantly has the game in "game" and not in a folder named after the game.

Like there are SO many games I want to play. I can hold off on Anno: This Time Its a Bit Better for a few months/years. Especially if it means I don't brick a gpu or get epically pwned for dogecoin.

The installer comes with a mute button and the website stuff is completely optional through check boxes. Compared to hypervisor that's like someone saying "I'm afraid to nuclear war" and you replying "Yeah, and my neighbour keeps saying hello to me so I stopped leaving the house"
