Discussion Pirating, Cracking, Repacking and DRM

Discussion about pirating, cracking, repacking and DRM.

Rule:

1. Don't directly link to content
2. Don't blindly download from unkown/untrusted sources

Persona 5 Striker on Steam has DRM (Denuvo ). You can't start it for the first time whitout internet connection. You also get worse performance and the access is probably limited to 3-5 devices.

But you can just overwrite the game.exe with a DRM-Free version from a certain russian cs site (its digitally signed so it should be safe).

Woah, why is there no Fitgirl repack in sight? I didn't even know Persona 5 was releasing on PC.

It's not Persona 5 but Persona 5 Striker. Repack will probably take some time since the whole Empress drama is happening rn. If you can't wait you could just download the files from steam and use the DRM-Free .exe btw.

Aahhh, it was really related to Crackwatch.
What the fuck, I didn't expect this to be on-topic, I thought there was something wrong with the Arcana or some shit in Persona. Like localization shenanigans.
It's always one thing or another with Denuvo crackers. Social media has ruined crackers as well, wew.

ah lol yeah didn't even think about that connection.
well at least it's somewhat amusing seeing someone so starved for attention playing the victim this badly.

It is amusing in the way that seeing shitty Chinese factories exploding is. It's grand and awesome, it also makes you feel like "Maybe with a few more, eventually the CCP leadership gets caught in it.", but it's still a huge explosion that killed a lot of innocent people and harmed industries as well.

Fitgirl is packing up emu games now, wew.
I'm amazed that we can emulate the Switch this well right now.
