Easy solution: fuck denuvo. Fuck the games that use it. And also fuck windows.

Am still not playing any Video Game with Denuvo. (I only play games with Steam’s DRM)

On the one hand software freedom. On the other this has me thinking about how fascinating this problem is from academic standpoint. How can you ensure software can ONLY run on the machines you allow? Even if the user has ring 0 access? Is it mathematically impossible to achieve?

Good, I hope they go bankrupt.

Would running in Proton mean the security issues are moot?

When are Denuvo games coming to GOG and itch.io? We feel extremely left out guys.

Wait, you mean client-side anticheat is not some holy unbreakable barrier? I am shocked

What is denuvo? Would someone break down how it works. It sounds like an interesting thing to learn from as I think they used 18bit encryption for early pioneers that it was for coded placement for locked sections of a nest portal. These were introduced to Nintendo i think for games like Zelda. I think it was denuvo that had been early ways of releasing full games. The only thing I could remember from something with computers but it’s been years since I ever worked on computers. Denuvo sounds very familiar from what I had seen a long time ago.

I'm not the most familiar with hardware level stuff. With the security disabled as in the article, can a malevolent actor rewrite firmware or leave the equivalent of an undetectable rootkit on your hardware? It would be mildly amusing to see an entire generation of pirates fuck up here, but also reminds me of the arguments regarding the intel cpus having a secondary, unknown firmware in the form of the management thingamajig.
