Huh, I never made the connection that denuvo is from Irdeto, who also provide one of the widely used pay-TV DRM schemes

There's no such thing as a coincidence. - William Knight

The article mentions that there are performance penalties to running hypervisor cracks in a VM with GPU passthrough, but if you're dual-booting barebones Arch (just enough to get a VM running), is there really a significant performance loss?
And once you have that set up on a separate boot, then it should be safe and fairly efficient to set up a bunch of these hypervisor cracks, I'd expect.
I don't care enough or have time to tinker with this myself, but that sounds like a more fun project than actually playing one of these AAA games, lol.

also, probably not a thing vast majority of gamers have the ability to set-up or maintain.

I'm not messing with any of these - seems far too much hassle.

They don't address the elephant in the room (voices38). Does that mean piracy won once again?

Holy fuck, who is dealing with this shit just to steal a game.

If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing

And who the fuck said they aren't??? What the hell kind of strawman is that? What does it even have to do with any of this?
AI companies aren't pirating art, they're using publicly available art commercially without a license which is definitely some sort of contravention though I'm not sure what exactly it is.
