They cut themselves

They are a group of 40 year olds now. No time for cracking when you have to feed your family

amiga dies in 1994, liquidated all assets by 1995. Lost market share. Amiga demo scene dwindles. Razor being primarily amiga based dissolves and only occasionally cracks a game. Makes 4-5 demos a year.

thanks for GTAIV and TESV

nothing.
dubmood owns scene idiots on demoscene bbbs all day erry day

their main cracker Dycus died in 2012

More like what happened to all the scene?

The only releases these days are steam emulator cracks, or origin emulator cracks, basically cracks that take minutes to setup.

When a protection like denuvo comes along and they actually have to work on it, it goes uncracked for months. Eventually someone actually looked into it properly and CPY released a crack for ROTTR and Inside which just patched some memory addresses, which pretty much calls bullshit on all the "protections" people claimed Denuvo has.

Why is it that a scene that could bypass almost anything 10 years ago now can only get around the most basic of protections?

Multiple FBI raids.

P2P Chinks and Russians.

facebook generation crackers

Most if not all games are now distributed only digitally, if you buy the physical release you get a steam key most of the time.
And most games use steam as a form of DRM so cracking them is as easy as replacing steam_api.dll with a shim/crack/emulator and that's basically it. Things like SecuROM and SafeDisc are pretty much dead, Denuvo is the only one that refuses to die.

what is reloaded and their work on arxan

as you mentioned cpy they cracked lot more denuvo games than rottr and inside

we don't know how many crackers they have I'm sure they are very busy with other things in their life too

isn't some asshole charging people $ to use his denuvo cracks now?

They sell gaming gear now.

Can't really blame him. Might as well take advantage of the people who whine and cry about video game cracks. They really deserve it.

I've always been interested in cracks, how do I get started learning about this shit?

Nothing, it's going exactly as expected.

>their main cracker Dycus died in 2012
How do we even know this if we know nothing about razor?

As long as Dubmood is still active I'm ok with Razor shutting down.

Intel SGX is going to kill scene for good I tell ya

tuts4you lena's tutorials

>Intel SGX
> Hardware enforced security

kek no

No game is going to use this

Protections evolved (the barrier of entry raised significantly hard since introduction of virtual machine obfuscation) and crackers got old, smart kids these days would rather hack, work in infosec or just become programmers, you know, do things that actually make you money

To use it you need to pay for it and I don't think gaming companies will pay shit to intel.

Hollywood is pushing this real hard so why don't the game publishers take advantage of it as well? The day Steam mandates this on all games is going to be the end

Intel opened it recently

>which pretty much calls bullshit on all the "protections" people claimed Denuvo has.
As if it wasn't obvious from the get-go

>The day Steam mandates this on all games is going to be the end
And that day will be never

>Hollywood is pushing this real hard
What product is using this?

I think it has to do with the multiplayer aspect of it as well. It's much harder to get a serial key/code/whatever to play multiplayer even for back then.

No one that downloads games care about multiplayer

basically just learn how to reverse engineer

Learn C, learn x86, work your way through challenges like challenges.re/

>recommending shitty flash “tutorials”
yeah no

Software based protections like Denuvo and everything that came before it are bullshit because you can always access all code and data you need to make the game run, that's why copy protection is moving towards the hardware these days - in case of hardware, instead of deobfuscating a whole bunch of code you need to find security flaws and exploit them

Microsoft wants to turn computers into locked down systems with their shitty app market being the only place you can download "approved" and "secure" software from, this is obvious from their actions like providing support for SGX and requiring TPM for Windows 10 on some devices

lmao might as well just buy the game if you're still paying

is that what being 40 is like? and I thought physically being 40 was bad enough

games nowadays are complete shit, it's accepted that gaming is dead and only idiots play and buy them them

Exactly.

Where does it say anything about that guy being a their main cracker

The act of cracking got a lot less interesting since it's all the fucking same nowadays.

Virtual machines evolve
See this paper, I wonder if Denuvo is going to implement this: lancaster.ac.uk/staff/wangz3/publications/trustcom.pdf

the only game i've had an itch to play is the new deus ex game
