well, you can expand this to the entire eu now. there is no way to ensure compliance with existing eu privacy legislation if you use an american owned cloud service

It's a really big deal, if MS and other cloud providers can't guarantee that data stored in the EU is subject to EU data protections then they'll literally lose all EU businesses since it'll become illegal to store data there. To make things even more interesting, there's pretty much no alternative either. How exciting. As an EU customer of MS datacenters all I can say is that I'm glad that much bigger companies than mine are going to have to solve this problem before I do.

Denuvo forgets to secure server, leaks years of messages from game makers https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/02/denuvo-forgets-to-secure-server-leaks-years-of-messages-from-game-makers/ https://torrentfreak.com/crackers-swarm-as-denuvo-website-leaks-secret-information-170205/ It's interesting to see that there was interest from Google in Denuvo.

i think the idea is that they know it's bullshit, but by forcing pirates to download a crack in addition to the game itself they increase the chance of those filthy thieves getting a bad case of the cryptolocker which is exactly what they deserve the fuckers. this is basically the only way any of it makes sense

my understanding was that they really care a lot about pirated copies not appearing before your legit customers get their hands on the officially released version. long-tail sales have always been pretty garbage in comparison to launch day for aaa games, so you really don't want pirates cutting into those launch day sales after that who really cares, but it's not like you're going to spend actual money on patching out drm later, since that gives you literally no benefit

If you can delay a crack appearing for a week, you've forced someone who wants to play but would have gotten a pirated version into buying it (assuming that this person wants to play it so much that they'll pay money) Then there's this: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3030/keeping_the_pirates_at_bay.php posted:Two months may not seem like a long time, but between 30 and 50 percent of most games' total sales occur in that time. Approximately 50 percent of the total sales of Spyro 2, up to December 2000, were in the first two months. Even games released in the middle of the year rather than the holiday season, such as Eidetic's Syphon Filter, make 30 percent of their total sales in the first two months. If YOTD follows the same trend, as it almost certainly will, those two to three months when pirated versions were unavailable must have reduced the overall level and impact of piracy. On top of this, since YOTD was released in Europe one month after the U.S., those two months protected early European sales from pirated copies of the U.S. version. The article is pretty great if you haven't seen it yet. No idea how well this holds up in 2017, but it definitely used to be true.

denuvo does actually work if integrated properly, by virtue of being a cryptographic virtual machine running essential parts of the game engine. just cause 3 still hasn't been cracked and that's a year old at this point

Nothing written about PC piracy during the time when home broadband was a thing but Steam and pals weren't yet is valid in 2017. Piracy was rampant then because it was literally easier to pirate a game than it was to buy it. The opposite is true now, and DRM doesn't change the equation much.

No, with a couple of exceptions, until RE7 it'd taken months to crack Denuvo if it got cracked at all.

https://www.wired.com/2017/02/russians-engineer-brilliant-slot-machine-cheat-casinos-no-fix/quote:IN EARLY JUNE 2014, accountants at the Lumiere Place Casino in St. Louis noticed that several of their slot machines had—just for a couple of days—gone haywire. The government-approved software that powers such machines gives the house a fixed mathematical edge, so that casinos can be certain of how much they’ll earn over the long haul—say, 7.129 cents for every dollar played. But on June 2 and 3, a number of Lumiere’s machines had spit out far more money than they’d consumed, despite not awarding any major jackpots, an aberration known in industry parlance as a negative hold. Since code isn’t prone to sudden fits of madness, the only plausible explanation was that someone was cheating.  read the rest too
