German company Denuvo has been making quite a bit of money with software for quite some time now preventionof video game piracy. The company develops anti-infringement software with anti-tamper technology that makes it very difficult to tamper with files that allow you to play games without a license.
However, it appears that its revenue will decrease in the next period.
TorrentFreak reports that a Bulgarian hacker known as Voksi has discovered a way of bypassing the technology used by Denuvo, which has allowed the public to play pirated game replicas such as Doom and Just Cause 3. However, this gap was soon closed.
Τώρα, μια ομάδα hackers που ονομάζεται CONSPIR4CY κατάφεραν να σπάσει πλήρως την προστασία του Rise of the Tomb Raider, ένα παιχνίδι της Square Enix που κυκλοφόρησε τον Ιανουάριο. Η πειρατική έκδοση του παιχνιδιού κυκλοφορεί σε πάρα πολλές ιστοσελίδες διαμοιρασμού αρχείων, μαζί με τρία DLC add-ons.
Of course, the fact is a huge blow to Denuvo's reputation, although it is worth noting that so far only one game has been broken, and it is unclear how long it took the hackers to break it (though it does not matter the moment he broke it).
The fact proves that nothing is safe, and that there can be no internet keys. There will always be some who will find ways to defeat the system and some of them will succeed.
