It’s DRM free, you can just zip up the files if you really wanted to make sure.

No, the Z drive in wine maps to your linux file system.

Fair enough man. I see what you’re saying.
- Comment on Pragmata surpasses 1m copies sold in just two days 5 weeks ago:
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?
- Comment on Pragmata surpasses 1m copies sold in just two days 5 weeks ago:
And the near 3 year long blackout period between empress and voices? Everyone lost “interest” simultaneously for multiple years? They got bored or something? And even now voices38 is the only one “interested” in denuvo?Everyone else is just not “interested”?
- Comment on Pragmata surpasses 1m copies sold in just two days 5 weeks ago:
So convenient that there is exactly enough interest to crack every non denuvo game in 1 day but every single denuvo game with millions in sales gets left alone for years 😂 because obviously cracking Laundry Store Simulator is more interesting than cracking the latest multi million AAA hit 😂
- Comment on Pragmata surpasses 1m copies sold in just two days 5 weeks ago:
And those exact same people suddenly gain an interest as soon as denuvo is removed? Get real man.
any old $2 lock you put on your front door is protecting your home from the 0 people attempting to break and enter.
“well I wasn’t even trying anyways!” excuse lol
- Comment on Pragmata surpasses 1m copies sold in just two days 5 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on How long until the rise of games with mods turns into user created games. 1 month ago:
That’s fair. I am vaguely aware that sim and sandbox games do tend to have mod support. For reference, with a quick search into the 71 games mentioned in the 2025 Game Awards Show, ~5-10 come with significant mod support.
- Comment on How long until the rise of games with mods turns into user created games. 1 month ago:
More and more games seem to suck on thier own, but can be great with mods.
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. There’s gooner mods for Capcom games and VR plugins I guess. Indie game engines ate the modding community’s lunch.
- Comment on is black myth wokong a good game? 2 months ago:
From what I understand you have to find when the enemy is vulnerable after launching an attack so that you can safely launch your own attacks. Dark Souls 1 and 3 are relatively generous with their safe windows and relatively rigid with their attack combos so it’s a lot more accessible to that kind of gameplay than later games like Elden Ring and Bloodborne.

You seem to think I’m somehow making a statement AGAINST ped infrastructure,.
It is probably because you have been using the exact talking points used by people who are against ped infrastructure.

Do you have an example or a snippet in mind for a piece of modern game engine code that would have been done better in the “old ways”?
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 3 months ago:
Copilot business subscriptions have fairly granular usage tracking, so they’d probably just replace you right away with someone who isn’t quite so reserved. Looking at the comments here and in other places, there is certainly no shortage of such people.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 3 months ago:
Job Requirements:
Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows, and enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption
Nice to have:
Passion for games and game preservation
AI Mandatory, game preservation optional. Glad they got their priorities straight 😅

- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 4 months ago:
It’s GOG financially viable? Good question, no one really knows.
All CDPR earnings reports put GOG revenue/profits in its own separate section, so it’s actually very knowable: It hasn’t been losing money in the last few years but its profits basically negligible compared to the rest of CDPR studio’s profits.

They removed the explicit Good Old Games abbreviation back in 2012. It’s just GOG.com now.

So insane that people have to go back to the primitive workflows of… 2021 🤣
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 months ago:
Yes, like we went over before, it’s literally OK to use AI if the studios that I support use it to generate things that I like.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 months ago:
His grammarly.ai subscription must have ran out.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 months ago:
What AI does here is allowing small teams to get art done what otherwise would eat up their budget, aka they literally couldn’t afford. No artists were harmed in these cases because if AI didn’t exist they simply wouldn’t have been hired.
That excuse can be used by big publishers as well, no?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 months ago:
Right, so the barrier was that they had to pay for this “outsourced bulk art”, and now with AI they don’t have to. It looks like we are in agreement when I say “I’m glad AI is democratizing the ability for the little guys like you and me to not pay artists for art”?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 months ago:
And little tools like that give studios like this an edge over AAAs. It’s the start of negating their massive manpower advantage.
The implication here is that you can gain manpower without hiring more men, no?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 months ago:
100% agree. I’m glad AI is democratizing the ability for the little guys like you and me to not pay artists for art.

I can’t wait for this to finally come out.
