Personally, I think that the Denuvo protection on Switch games would probably be a simpler system than the full-fat PC DRM. It would probably be too intense for the Switch’s meagre processing power, and customers are definitely going to be annoyed when their game takes a minute or two to load up.

Could it pave the way for that crap on other consoles as well?

At this moment, the only current-gen console to be jailbroken is the Nintendo Switch. There’s no need for external DRM on the PS5 and Xbox because publishers can trust that users will only be able to play legit copies of games. Switch games, on the other hand, don’t have that guarantee, because dumping games on a jailbroken switch is very easy to do. Hence why Irdeto is planning to offer DRM for the Switch only.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time that third-party DRM was used on a Nintendo console. Some DS and Wii games were protected by an anti-piracy system called MetaFortress, which aimed to protect against flashcarts and pirated copies. Here’s a video from the Dolphin emulator team about its use in the all-time classic, “The Smurfs: Dance Party”

God damn, this will definitely break a lot of DDL shares - I know that, for a couple of forums, Anonfiles was the host that the majority of uploaders used.

This is for a specific DRM called Denuvo. Most games don’t have it, but the big titles do

I didn’t know that Goldberg’s Steam emulator worked on non-DLL Steamworks implementations. Thanks!

Just curious, are there any native cracks for Linux? As in, for ports of games done by Feral Interactive, Aspyr, etc

Yeah, except EMPRESS was just complaining that her own torrents got deleted, not that others were unsafe

Man, that’s such a shame. Disney has also shut down everything but Disney+ in Southeast Asia, so combined with this announcement, it seems pretty likely that they’ll pivot entirely to VOD worldwide.

Considering how fortune mostly contains very out-of-date computer jokes, I highly doubt an actual fortune cookie manufacturer would use its output.

Damm, never thought I’d see a meme with Xavier being still circulated in 2023

Nope, it’s definitely shady. SKIDROW is a warez group, and warez groups don’t have presence on the public Internet. In fact, I was under the impression that they stopped cracking games some time ago, but I could be wrong.

Question: does your iMac have a hard drive or an SSD? My mom still uses our old iMac, and whenever the hard drive is being used extensively (while downloading something, for example), the whole computer will be really sluggish.
