14 DAY TRIAL // The overwhelming majority of PC gamers continue to think that putting DRM protection inside games isn't fair due to the restriction it imposes to them.
Some games prevent you from playing them without an Internet connection, while others require you to use third-party apps that you wouldn't have installed on your PC otherwise.
However, game developers continue to think that, by putting DRM into their games, they can somehow limit the level of piracy at least a few days after they release their titles.
Until about a month ago, that wasn't the case as just about any DRM protection available in the gaming industry was already cracked and pirated copies of the game were available for download online only a few hours after their official release.
EA and CI Games were the first to implement a new DRM method in some of their latest games: FIFA 15, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Lords of the Fallen, respectively.
The new unbreakable DRM is called Denuvo and seems to have been created by the same people who came up with SecuROM, another nasty method of digital protection that was eventually cracked in months.
Less than 2 weeks ago, Chinese P2P group 3DM confirmed it was trying to crack Denuvo, but since then there haven't been any reports as to how the work is progressing.
Several hours ago they suddenly came up with a short statement claiming they have finally managed to crack Denuvo and as proof they will release a crack for Dragon Age: Inquisition.
The crack does not remove the Denuvo DRM from your PC
The information proved to be accurate and Dragon Age: Inquisition, one of the few games protected with Denuvo DRM, has been cracked and put online for everyone to get it for free.
P2P group 3DM has yet to come out with an official statement on how they managed to crack the DRM, but according to speculations Denuvo is not so easy to remove.
In fact, it looks like 3DM hasn't removed Denuvo from the game, instead it managed to emulate a service that tricks the DRM into thinking Origin is running in the background.
So, while Denuvo hasn't been finally beaten for good, it looks like a huge step into that direction has just been made less than 2 months since its release.
Many P2P groups are now focusing their attention on cracking Denuvo, so it's just a matter of time until everything returns to normal. Remember, however, that buying games is the only way to support developers.
