i’m falling out of love with the game piracy scene now because this anti-denuvo hypervisor shit is insanely dangerous and everyone is just going right along with it. if this becomes the default way they ship pirated games without cracking them then i guess that’s the end of pirating games for me

oh well now i feel stupid for being angry that i bought minecraft way back when it was beta and just tried to install it the other day and found that my key no longer works and I missed some window for converting to whatever microsoft’s bullshit scheme is by like a year.

1·16 days agoi don’t think they’re gonna stop using it. This hypervisor bypass is about the most dangerous thing you could use and it will be used to gain persistent root access to the machine of any fool who runs one of these.
Previous cracks are highly likely to contain malware and shit too, but that can be defanged to some degree using sandboxing and vms and the like. This cannot be run in a vm or sandbox. It not only grants kernel access to your machine, but it could install rootkits in your EFI partitions and even access other drives or potentially sneak into other machines on your network. This shit is nuts and it is insanely stupid to run.
Denuvo will use the fallout from what is coming to further bolster the market.

Noun Town is kinda neat, not sure if it’s on the same level as Rosetta Stone or Babbel but it should be easy to find on any pirate site.
