    Alleged? Lol

    They destroyed the denuvo drm.

    I hope they go bankrupt. Why would any company pay for such an expensive drm if it doesn’t work?

    Next watch Discord and Reddit bend over backwards to give Denuvo all chats and information about dozens of accounts that may or may not be connected to the cracker. Because that‘s something platforms seem to do these days without any backlash since „they didn‘t fuck MY privacy this time!“ Ugh.

      That is such a stupid expectation ngl and the fact that I hear it is stupid too,

      If I write a letter to my friend and send it via snail mail, my expectation is not for it be taken open read by some random guy and go through it, innit?

        I mean, not legally, but you should still assume that.

        Anything truly secret should be communicated in ways that can’t be naively caught.

    If they went straight to legal it means they legit don’t know how to stop it. That’s pretty damning for them.

    First step would be to analyze the hack and the patch it so that the bypasses no longer work. I’m guessing the hack exposes a serious flaw.

      Yeah thought that as well, there probably is a good reason they resort to that. Seems a bit desperate. Good.

      the company claims that the accused bypassed its Anti-Tamper technology in at least 26 PC games and is seeking monetary damages as well as a court order that would prevent further tampering of its DRM

      Considering that the main product they shill obviously doesn’t work, I wouldn’t keep my hope up on them figuring anything out

        Standard corporate America right there. You proved our product is a sham and worthless? How dare you we’ll sue you out of existence!

        God forbid they step back and rethink their product.

      They could be working on both, but it’s a seriously bad look anyway. Companies should switch off autopilot mode and stop using Denuvo.

    Denuvo sues anonymous game cracker

    I’m not a lawyer, but does habeas corpus not apply in cases like this…?

    • NOT_RICK@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I don’t think so because the accused isn’t jailed, but I’m just a guy on the internet so I could be wrong.
