Voices38, an anonymous reverse engineer who became the main successor to EMPRESS, performed a real pipeline hack on a game with Denuvo protection. In less than 24 hours, hackers simultaneously released versions of five major games, shutting down projects that had remained untouched or worked only through complex workarounds for years. So they got rid of Denuvo for good in the last few hours:
I’d say this weekend is going to be very difficult for Irdeto, the developer of Denuvo, in terms of reputational damage, but let’s be honest – in the eyes of the average gamer around the world, this company has no reputation left due to the constant performance issues it has been “protected” by them.
Do you think this rate of hacking will force publishers like Capcom, Sega, and Warner Bros.? Can you cancel your Denuvo paid subscription renewal faster?
