Denuvo Shuts Down Infamous Bulgarian Cracker Voksi

Denuvo takes legal action against 21-year-old Bulgarian cracker Voksi. The police already confiscated Voksi's PCs and he is now waiting for Denuvo's next move.

As if I didn't hate denuvo enough already.

This stupid move on Denuvo part just insured that every major hacker group will crack their games at an even faster rate.

I hate denuvo so much voksi was a good and talented dev the first person to defeat denuvo

[Activemessiah]

They couldn't create something he couldn't crack so they just take him down... absolutely pathetic.

[Christopher]

You can't create something that can't be cracked...

[Activemessiah]

They didn't get that memo initially.

It's his own fault for not hiding his tracks. He publicly posted on reddit daily, even providing updates, then people act surprised when he got caught

[Minimoth]

As much as I feel for the guy you're definitely right, he was a bit too arrogant for thinking that he would never get caught despite never trying to hide his identity. There's a reason why scene groups don't advertise who their members are.

[cleft5]

If you feel what you are doing is right, you dont hide yourself. You show yourself to all and make a stance. That obviously exposes you to what Voksi is going through right now, but if you believe you are in the right you dont hide. Denuvo corporation choose to use a heavy handed tactic and now they will find out that the people who do hide themselves will target their software. They could have just sent a cease and desist, instead they pull this stunt. in the end, Voksi will probably end up working at some billion dollar company. Regardless, I wish him the best. As we all should.

[Rachel_Alucard]

Legally what he was doing was wrong. There was no need for a cease and desist since they had him out in the open ready for a lawsuit. He already cost them hundreds of thousands, and they also know that letter won't do anything to stop it. Denuvo is awful, the company is crap, and I wish they'd die already, but he blatantly exposed his illegal activities out in the open, thinking they had some moral obligation to not do anything to a guy who's costing everyone tons of money. He was absolutely foolish and arrogant to go after that e-peen on reddit, rather then shut up and keep doing what he was doing.

Learning how to circumvent DRM and remove it isn't illegal

[Rachel_Alucard]

Removing DRM is very illegal if you are sharing this to other people. If you are doing it for personal use without telling it to others it's fine. It's alll based on intent.

Games industry is a little better today. Thanks!

[cleft5]

Spoken like someone that knows nothing.

[Palitera]

Or someone who thinks piracy doesn’t help gaming.

Cry moar :D

"Or someone who thinks piracy doesn’t help gaming."

GOG proves you wrong on a daily basis.

Access is advertisement.

[XxINFERNUSxX]

Like this will really stop anyone from cracking protection LMAO. I have enough torrented games with Denuvo cracked.

[4blender]

[PCgamer98]

Well if you can't beat them then send them to jail. Denuvo's logic.
