Kind of but it takes years and your second job boss doesnt care.

If you look at the developers of Proton, Lutris, and wine you will see a decent number of codeweavers employees. I think valve may have even hired them to develop the compatability layer on the steam deck (Proton/Wine).

Actually the common anti cheat solutions provided Linux support for a while, but the developers/publishers have been choosing not to enable it.

Fwiw I think that video still has valuable information to introduce you to cracking at all. As it does explain a little of what is happening, and why it works.

Try looking up denuvo v4 work around. IIRC it basically removes some early assembly neutering denuvo’s ability to exit or interfere with the execution of the game.

I think that the cracking groups could have released better explanations on how their tooling worked so that others could at least be closer to “up to date” with the current DRM technology. Right now public cracking info is years behind because the groups that did have any knowledge took it with them. The idea that this would help only denuvo was a bit myopic since either way when they left cracking it would help denuvo. However I heard that many cracking groups now work for denuvo so that may be part of it. But considering they did all that work for free, I don’t want to conspire about them or claim that I am entitled to their work.

Edit: Also the people who have released “how to break denuvo” guides have been some of the more aggressively persued legally. So my lamenting over no documentation/explanation may be a bit “man i wish someone would break the law for MY benefit.”

Correct, they never published documentation, which has led us to this situation. The lack of “training” for newer crackers is something i even remember empress herself pointing out. There is some crackjng training centering around archaic drm like securom on spore. However cracking groups had gone more and more “closed source”.

There are different versions. I don’t know of a guide cor the newer ones.

CoD 4 for the wii lives on.

Wow I did not know the supreme court essentislly rulled covid19 not an “emergency” in order to perform this ruling. Kind of wack.

Yeah, but Microsoft has no social media presence. They tried to get into the market (somewhat) with the kin and failed. And imho recently they have been struggling to attract users in new markets.
