[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 19 points 4 months ago (1 child) So, an OS that runs a HV that runs a HV that runs an OS that runs a translator that translates a windows-game to the original OS. If you had told me that absurd shit 30yrs ago I would have laughed at you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tomalley8342@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (1 child) Yes, and all that to bypass, not remove, a protection mechanism that runs 100% in user space with no additional privileges. It really would be impressive if it wasn't so horrible for consumer rights and preservation. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago (1 child) It is...I always trusted pirates more than companies (I was a big player back in the days) but this is way too much. I just don't play these games now (thanks denuvo) and I surely won't play those hv-"cracks". But...the worse thing is what denuvo will do now. Either they'll vanish or they'll step up by getting absolute total control kernel-side. I'd prefer vanishing. Why would anyone buy denuvo now if they don't react fast... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] upandatom@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) Agreed. I expect some money shifting where Denuvo goes down and another rises with kernel level. Ovuned. Kind of like how airlines and banks rename themselves. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 point 4 months ago Well, let's just hope that we're wrong on this. permalink fedilink source parent
