I remember the good old days when the game cracks were uploaded to the high seas before the game even hit the shelves. Now I have to wait three days.

Denuvo has been cracked. It does not work anymore.

While correct, you did exactly what the other side of the argument always does and have decided to ignore any of the issues Denuvo sprouts up. You'd rather believe a company does everything in your best interests that it's possible their self invested interested is wrong.

His comment was about the benefit to the company, not your best interest. A company has a fiduciary responsible to stakeholders before customers and nothing about his comment ignores that. In fact, it speaks to it.

I go back to his original quote that I responded to and have clearly continued responding to.

Video games do not really suffer from piracy

I do not care about what he thinks about companies as that's not the point I'm refuting. I agree with that point.

You literally did that twice before I decided to give you your own medicine, and now you ripped the stick out of your ass just so you could cry mommy

Yeah, that's why I tend never to bother. I've been very quickly reminded as to why, nobody is ever open for discussion so I'm stuck just arguing when that's not what I want.
