No More Pirated Games To Play In Two Years: Hacker Group Warns

The old adage that goes something like “Where there are games, there will be piracy” might actually be something placed inside a history book if claims from the Chinese cracking forum 3DM founder are to be taken seriously.

The founder made the remarks in the wake of the group’s tryst with the Denuvo security protection for Avalance Studio’s latest game Just Cause 3 which almost took them to the extremes.

Although, piracy in some form will continue to thrive, especially in the music and movies industry, games are becoming increasingly difficult to breach in recent years and there might actually come a time when it’ll be almost impossible to do so.

Games were readily available in the past in the murkier ends of the internet for anyone who was willing to be a pirate in order to play them, things have changed drastically since and now it can take weeks to months for a new game’s protection system to be defeated.

Games are seldom available before their street release date on torrent sites now, something which was a common occurrence in the not so distant past.

The most recent example of the increasing struggle for pirate groups to breach the latest gaming titles’ security is Just Cause 3. The game which was released on December 1, 2015 and has been a widely successful title, is yet to be ‘cracked’.

The game is utilizing a complex security system which has the piracy community perplexed and unable to come up with a ‘hack’.
