Tip, don't waste your time arguing with industry shills. They'll never learn, and they pretend to be against the capitalist agenda but they are 100% for it in every way.

My intent is to dismantle their falsehoods in public so they don't spread to people who don't know better.

My question being to that would be how could these corperations make any better sequals if they considered piracy as not theft and just handed it out to everyone stating yeah you can just pirate it.

Exactly how they have been doing it this whole time and make stupid money for little effort. Do the math, gaming is overvalued in pricing and they dont need more money.
Piracy has been around since the start of gaming, its not going anywhere.

Never said anything about it going anywhere let's do some math.

More money = more content for gaming
Less money = Less production value and studios closing that makes less profit and or getting sold off to bigger corperations

Once again, this appears to be causing issues for legitimate players as Steam reviews are reporting issues with the game from crashing outright on startup to other hiccups once in game.

How much longer will they continue lying, that Denuvo does not impact legitimate customers?

Voices38 releases cracks that fully remove Denuvo from games, no hypervisor bypass needed. There's also fuck all Denuvo can do about it if it turns out that individual/group resides in a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US. They can take their malware and shove it.

Its not true, its not fully removed, not today and recent ones, 90% of those cracks are basically bypasses or the developers removed them fully with official patches (especially now since Denuvo is subscription based, so no game would be forever protected, because it would cost them money).... even "Empress" spoke about it in ther "MANIFEST" after quiting the P2P scene (because of Skidrow).

THE FULLY REMVED ONES are some older titles, several not so old ones, fully cracked by:

2018 - Jurassic World Evolution - FULLY CRACKED BY CODEX
2019 - AC Origins 2019 - FULLY CRACKED BY CODEX
2019 - Assassin’s Creed Origins: Curse of the Pharaohs - FULLY CRACKED BY CODEX
Drone Swarm 2023 - FULLY CRACKED BY SKIDROW, BUT UNITY TITLE, "tricks" used (easier)

2023 - Fe - FULLY CRACKED BY SKIDROW, BUT UNITY TITLE (easier)...... the point where the conflict with Empress started, where Empress accused Skidrow that its not a "real" Denuvo game, Skidrow replied that Empress is actually Voksi (Bulgaria) and that he was getting paid by other cracking groups (scene/p2p) etc.

2025 - Tourist Bus Simulator 2025 - FULLY CRACKED BY SKIDROW (Skidrow kinda accepted the Empress challenge and proved that they can crack a "real" Denuvo game FULLY, the point where Empress disappeared, not a single release was released by Empress after it
2026 - Assassin’s Creed Mirage - FULLY CRACKED BY RUNE (BTW historically speaking, they had connections with Codex).

BTW Skidrow VS Empress drama exposed the real identity of Empress, where they claimed that Empress is actually Voksi from Bulgaria, which also Tarnkappe.de later confirmed its Voksi... and btw Tarnkappe has/had many connections to the "Scene", as well as those "warez" distributing scene (hosters etc.), historically speaking but also today. Also, in the " Tourist Bus Simulator 2025" NFO Skidrow also accused other cracking group for paying "outsiders" for their cracks... hinting again at Empress etc. Basically Skidrow is against those "bypasses" because they dont see it as the "old school scene".

Anyway, Tarnkappe.de is actually an HIGHLY REPUTAPLE SOURCE:

BTW C000005 - EMPRESS (Empress confirmed it themselves), later basically confirmed that Empress is Voksi (both Skidrow and Tarnkappe) and since the "scandal", Empress didnt release a single crack.

Later voksi38 appeared...... not saying he is behind it but who knows.

The whole concept of extradition treaties is mad.

"Hey, you didn't break a law in your country but if you had been in the US at the time you would have broken a law so we're sending you to the US to stand trial in one of their states as though that's where you were, even though you weren't."

I remember years ago, the British Home Secretary extradited a teenager to the US for piracy. This isn't supposed to happen in the UK, cos there's an ancient law from the Magna Carta about not punishing someone for something everyone usually gets away with. She got rid of that law.

Its somewhat to avoid the other issue of
foreign country forcibly enters yours to drag someone out they got beef with, Or the threat of other international issues.
So rather than deal with that you save yourself the trouble and make extradition treaties.

Geo politics is fun.
