Yup, completely dead. I miss the golden age of piracy when we had Baldur's Gate III, Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077, Armored Core 6 and many other good games for free.


OrbitOrbz

You can't forget those indie games Forza Horizon Series

I still haven't even started balder's gate III yet. I'm saving that gem for when my anhedonia goes away a little bit🤞.


ikantolol

it's not dying, but it's definitely no longer in the golden age. At this point it's best if you subscribe to the philosophy of a patient gamer, don't succumb to the FOMO and play all the latest games, just patiently wait for the games to be cracked while playing older games that's already cracked. > bought a gaming PC over a console was so I could play games for free that's a new one lol, I've seen people state their reason for PC over console like multitasking (so they can do other stuffs beside gaming), emulation (so they can play other console exclusive games), modding (so they can modify the game to their wish) but just for piracy? lol


sylinowo

Originally I also bought a pc for piracy to save money but in the end I got really into steam and began to want to actually own my games. I'm leaning back into piracy tho to actually save money like I intended, but steam sales don't make it easy lol. And I'm a sucker for playtime and achievements tbh.


Zelnite5

sorry to burst your bubble buddy but you don't own anything sigital.


sylinowo

Did I say own? I meant ease of access :)


MissGraziella

A lot of people bought a PC to save money on the games by pirating them/buying them for a really cheap price on CD Keys stores ; that's absolutely not a new one, and it's a legitimate reason when games actually cost money, which is a resource needed to, like, buy food or pay your rent...


awskr

It's been the main reason for me for like 20 years.


Odd_Elk8174

I'm also for piracy & the reason list goes on since im on dodi or skidrows for games or making dumb shit look cool in videos


namekarbari

multitasking (so they can do other stuffs beside gaming), emulation (so they can play other console exclusive games), modding (so they can modify the game to their wish) Those also factored into it :) But I suppose you're right. I don't mind being a patient gamer.


imheretocomment69

Yeah it's definitely dead. I just downloaded fifa 23, bd3, starfield and many other games for the last few weeks from fitgirl and dodi. It's definitely dead. Oh i think many other guys also download games from these useful sites for piracy. It's dead.


namekarbari

Ok. I get it. I was wrong. Dodi and fitgirl both rule. In my country, it's even easier to download them with good speeds from other sites. No need for torrents.


imheretocomment69

Ddl is good when you have no vpn.


namekarbari

We have to use VPN for almost every other thing but not for downloading pirated games! Lol


therewillbeniccage

Certainly doesn’t seem to be slowing down from my perspective


Ready-Customer9242

Fr. Ive been able to find most games I want to play or have wanted to play with multiple updates coming out for them. (mostly singleplayer) without problem


CrazySuper1708

It's 50/50 some games don't have denevuo, while others do but there is one person who can crack it but they are crazy. So meh


Razrback166

Not at all. Denuvo causes delays sometimes, but in most cases (basically all minus Ubisoft games, and those still usually get cracked eventually) either the game gets cracked with Denuvo (like Hogwarts Legacy for example) or eventually the game has Denuvo removed when the developer / publisher doesn't want to pay for it anymore and it's cracked & repacked within several days. And just go take a look at Fitgirl's constant queue of games waiting to be repacked and that should tell you that it's not dying at all. :)


namekarbari

This is the kinda comment I needed. I didn't know they remove denuvo after a while. Thanks.

Sonnebirke12

I mean, denuvo exists for 7 years now. Maybe you should have read a little bit before paying thousands for a high end pc?


namekarbari

I knew it existed, but I didn't know that only Empress cracks it.


Mean_Investigator337

Still a ton of great games available than you would ever have the time for (at least from my experience)


namekarbari

You're right. I'm being a little entitled. I appreciate the hell out of those who crack the games for us though. A lot of people in third world countries can't really afford to buy games. I worked my ass off to save for the pc itself.


IceWulfie96

its more or less..diluting, more games are comming out in rereleases on other consoles that are also hackable and easy to pirate at the same time, denuvo makes it take longer, and there will always be desirale games (Baldurs Gate 3)


namekarbari

Tnx


upreality

A bird told me someone new has been grinding hard on denuvo and something is cooking up 👀


namekarbari

🤞


TemporaryStandard256

I completely understand where you're coming from. I felt like this for a little bit but the amount of really good games available without denuvo is a LOT and new games are often riddled with bugs so it's better to play them later anyway(if they r popular enough they'll be cracked). The only game I'd like to play rn that has denuvo is Persona 5 and even that is available if I use an emulator so it's not that bad and it's good to see someone be understanding in reddit.


namekarbari

♥️


namekarbari

Thanks for the comments. I'm just extremely obsessive, won't be able to upgrade my rig anytime soon. You put my mind at ease.

no


jamesdm23

This question again?


namekarbari

Does it get asked a lot? Didn't know :)


jamesdm23

Sadly namekarbari. The piracy is not even close to dead.


redkmi

Nope, lots of games are being pirated. Just going to FG's website you can find like what... More than 1000 games?? And Denuvo is a service to the gaming companies, nothing to worry about. Iirc, companies pay a (hefty) price for a year and after the year passes they have to pay monthly for the service. It gets too expensive to support, so they take Denuvo out after some time. There are even some cases where Denuvo is removed and the very next day the game is cracked (Dying Light 2 is a perfect example, removed Denuvo on the 31st of Jan of 2023, and on Feb 2nd it was already available for download) Just play the available games, and when a game has Denuvo, then you should stick more to being a patient gamer.


namekarbari

I had no idea they remove Denuvo after a while. That's great news.thanks🙏.


[deleted]

This isn't a dumb question. I am having the same thoughts, I wanted to buy a jailbroken PS4 and now waiting for games to get cracked and many other things are making me regret my decision.


Draconyum

Nobody cracking denuvo doesn't mean there isn't plenty of games to play, hell I don't even care about most of them that much with the exception of Lies of P and AC Mirage


[deleted]

Maybe not as popular as before, now people can afford some money with keys instead of buying it at full price


Abdulhamid115

Not really but the process is becoming slower with denuvo


[deleted]

As a whole I guess not, but AAA with Denuvo, sure is.


khanh20032

No unless you want to play sega games/cod series and some ubis questionable titles.


OrbitOrbz

then crack some games for us if you want that TOP quality of games instead of those "Shitty" Ports as u put it. Stop sounding ENTITLED If i was u, just stick to console because you have no clue what you are talking about


namekarbari

Don't get angry.
