    Putting anti cheats in single player games should be illegal.

        DRM should be illegal. If we have devices that can copy information instantly, it’s not our fault that it’s incompatible with capitalism - seems like capitalism is incompatible with nature. Find a new business model.

          They did, running everything on their machines and charging us monthly to use it.

          The new business model is cloud subscription gaming. You sure you want to argue for that?

        It may have other nefarious uses but it is primarily anti-cheat software.

            According to their own site it is both apparently. Either way it is used for both purposes, and for single player that makes no sense.

                Really? It constrains or prevents modding, which is a core part of PC gaming.

                Copy protection for single player games is essentially pointless. Even GTA V let’s you do what you want in single player mode because it is offline.

                The only reason they might want anti tamper is to support in game purchases, which is equally senseless for single player games.

    I’m still not basically disabling most of my PC’s security to play pirated games though.

    Get fucked Atlus. I’m not sure I have an appetite to load windows to use these but I’d have bought every game by Atlus on release like I did up until I decided I’d rather skip the ps5 and stick with PC but instead I’ve bought one of them (persona 4 ultimax which I didn’t realize had it until now)

    Anyone have luck running these on linux? I tried the Crimson Desert one but Bottles couldn’t handle the install and I didn’t bother to try harder

    Edit: nevermind, saw another comment saying these cracks are a no go on linux

    Do these hypervisor bypasses work if I were to say, run the cracks under WINE or Proton? I have been waiting a long time for X Shadow Generations to either be actually playable on switch emulator without major bugs/glitches that kill it or an actual PC crack!

    Edit:

    Looks like I gotta wait until I get a more powerful desktop so that way I can plug in my old win10 hard drive to run this bypass. Sad days! Windows is why Linux can’t have nice things! Screw you macrohard!

      You mean Denuvo? Denuvl is DRM not an anticheat they say it decreases performance tho and uh they said it was the best DMR. Last time I checked the whole thing was cracked by the group DenuvOWO and even had a custom wine prefix for linux or something.

      Edit: It apparently works as an anticheat too. (and spelling)

    Sonic Origins had Denuvo? Brother, they are fucking Genesis games. Anyone can play them on some Genesis emulator right now, or get the Christian Whitehead’s remasters in case of 1, 2 and CD. What the were they thinking?
