Pirating Group 3DM Will Stop Cracking Single-player Games for One Year

And well now 3DM posted that they can crack Denuvo... just a ball game... domestic quarrel...

Now that they can crack Denuvo it will be interesting to see if they stick with their plan to not crack anything for a year to see how it impacts sales. I bet they don't.

GOG really is underated for what they bring to gaming. Besides the no DRM requirement they also make sure the game will run on any OS from XP up to 10. Steam doesn't do that. They say it will run on whatever the OS was at release of the game and up but not on older OS. Really you don't own your games unless you buy it from GOG. Steam isn't likely to go down any time soon but if they did then you couldn't play most of the games that you bought from them unless they released code that would run the games without first checking in with Steam. People who pirate games that they could afford to buy from GOG don't have a leg to stand on.

The few few talents really, gifted hackers I know... they share the same unstable psyche... they do what the want and think is interesting... thus they change ideas and views like a capricious girl strolling through a lingerie store and really in a drastic manners. Here is a group of fews... well... it should resemble a mental clinic...

I admit it's arguable, but in "will still run on your machine, wasting resources on DRM" vs "will stop, if some online shit goes offline" I choose the former.



A shame is when gog.com is vastly outsold by Valve despite having same or lower price and no DRM.

And I think it' snot that much of GOG's focus, rather than publishers avoiding it.
The only new AAA game that I can recall on GOG was Witcher 3.

And even that because developer and publisher behind The Witcher 3 is also owner of the GOG web store (CD Project RED).

Lol.

I'm so entitled to have anything for free. The internet is free man, stuff should all be free.

Please note, that's sarcasm. I deplore mass piracy of games. I also deplore massive profiteering and charging £50 for a non physical DL. What's the answer? Like people bitch about hardware, vote with your wallet and don't buy it. Or, like some games that took years to make and a lot of effort (Witcher series as a prime example) shell out the cash and pay for the right to play it.
Piracy isn't the answer, never has been. Can't wait for the 'pseudo ethical' reply to this.

between steam sales, origin deals, and GoG, I'm having a hard time seeing the need for piracy. Perhaps a legacy game that doesn't show up on any of those?
I mean "must pirate because I can't afford" has long turned into "even the poorest can afford if patient."

but perhaps that it. These guys want it day1. With all the bugs in releases these days, I don't get that either.
