    I do have the feel that gaming piracy is on a all time low. At the moment there isn’t even a single active denuvo cracker while there used to be like 3-4. Probably because stores like steam and gog, which are consumer friendly with fair prices for most products and not linked with stupid subscriptions.

    I don’t know the numbers so I can’t comment on that, but you do realise the vast majority of games don’t launch with Denuvo right? And plenty of games that do only have it for the first 6-12 months because it’s a subscription for them, before taking it out…

    I’ve played Baldur’s Gate 3 and Avowed recently, pirated, right at launch, because they didn’t have DRM. Isn’t it still true that nothing on GOG has DRM at all?

      Sega, Ubisoft, and Atlus being notable exceptions. They just leave that shit in forever.
