Just Cause 3 uses the latest iteration of Denuvo, an anti-tamper technology developed by Denuvo Software Solutions GmbH. The problem appears to lie with the robustness of the technology protecting the game. Released on Decemand despite massive demand, the game has still not been cracked. One of the hottest topics involves the Avalanche Studios/Square Enix title Just Cause 3. In fact, aside from many dozens of dedicated piracy forums, there’s even an entire sub-Reddit community dedicated to providing the status of cracks. In the past most games would be playable for free before their official debut but increasingly pirates are being made to wait for big titles to have their protection defeated, or ‘cracked’ as it’s more commonly known. While copying a title was a trivial process several years ago, in many cases more and more roadblocks are now being put in pirates’ way.
These are all comments regularly heard in piracy circles and to date, they’ve largely been proven accurate.īut while trying to protect movies and music using technological measures is by now almost a lost cause, the same cannot be said about video games. Where there’s a will to break copy protection, there’s a way.
The claims come after attempts to breach the Denuvo security protecting Just Cause 3 pushed the group’s cracking expert to breaking point. The founder of notorious Chinese cracking forum 3DM is warning that given the current state of anti-piracy technology, in two years there might be no more pirate games to play.
