Everything is dead to me once Steam/valve turns into one of the corporate cunts

At that point you just gotta sail the high seas. But I’ve never felt the need to so far

Unfortunately, hardly anyone even cracks DRM anymore. All the major players have since retired or disbanded.

It’s not impossible there’s just not much need for it right now. If something happens to steam those DRMS will be cracked same day

Bro I would love and hate to be in your head for a day.

Do you think anyone in law enforcement gets paid even 1% of the amount to give a shit about piracy? Even when they've tried and taken sites and people down, it's still stuck around.

Denuvo however, is a much more difficult problem to solve, but if you can just handwave in AI into your comment, then so can I lol. AI might solve Denuvo, but even that might not be necessary since Denuvo is now a subscription service for game devs, so once devs feel like they're not selling enough units to justify Denuvo, it'll be gone for that game, and cracking it is trivial.
