But we're not talking about buying here. To be precise, yes, a copy of the game is still being bought, but then it gets distributed among 100s of people. It's pretty much like old-school piracy: VHS tapes and burning copies of games you own onto CDs. That being said, you aren't missing that much if you're completely avoiding Denuvo games. Out of all the uncracked ones that I've tried using this method, only two games out of the last decade or so were worth the trouble (Wukong and Hi-Fi Rush). permalink fedilink source parent [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Lots of games aren't on GOG. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago True, if there's a game I really, really want I buy on Steam/Epic.
