And it won't be long after that until these are cracked too. The ol' cat and mouse game.

It would take a lot more for them to steal a game that has no public executables though, like they would need some proper hacking or corporate espionage

There's a cracked Diablo 4 available and it's "online only". There are still bugs they're working on but as far as I know it's fully playable from start to finish.

That's different, it's not a game hosted elsewhere that you connect to via streaming. You download diablo 4, you have the game available to crack.

Cloud gaming environments are controlled and monitored. It's basically a TeamViewer for you to game on a restricted host. You can't just copy the binaries to your computer. You need to actually hack it and exfil the data, which is illegal btw. This will be very hard, except some stupid *** misconfigure the server.

It's not just piracy, it's archiving. How these games going to be played in centuries from now? It's called the "digital darkage" and we're living in it.

DRM and locking to cloud servers is like trying to assigning things to being lost to the future.
