Specially now that they removed it from Steam in favor of the hideous Epic Games launcher.
Isn't that basically shooting themselves on the foot? As far as sales are concerned, Steam is just too big to not offer a game on it.Quote:

They promoted on Steam for months for their preorders, and then decided to go with Epic launcher just before launch. Users are pissed. I really hope it gets cracked really soon after release!

Don't know. I'm currently playing the Outer Worlds, which puts Fallout 4 to shame!
SPARKS were releasing major blockbuster releases, pretty much always faster than everyone else, which is probably what made them stand out as targets to the entertainment corporations and governmental enforcement agencies...
Quote:
a case brought by the US Government resulted in a Grand Jury charging at least three members of several and related top-tier ‘Scene’ release groups – SPARKS, GECKOS, DRONES, ROVERS andSPLiNTERS[SPRINTER] – with conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement and other crimes.
Thanks to the efforts of HSI, the Postal Inspection Service, Eurojust, Europol, and our law enforcement partners in 18 countries on three continents, key members of this group are in custody, and the servers that were the pipeline for wholesale theft of intellectual property are now out of service,” the announcement read.
The US revealed that law enforcement authorities in many countries assisted in the investigation against SPARKS including those in Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Republic of Korea, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
What we know from official sources is that there were 14 house searches carried out in Sweden on Tuesday, including in Umeå, Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm. No one was arrested during the raids but according to prosecutor Johanna Kolga, more servers were seized in Sweden than anywhere else.
In all, over 60 servers were taken down in North America, Europe and Asia and “several main suspects” were arrested, the agency added.
The primary objective of the Sparks Group was to fraudulently obtain DVDs and Blu-Ray discs for copyrighted movies and television shows prior to their retail release date, compromise the copyright protections on the discs, reproduce and upload the copyrighted content to servers controlled by the Sparks Group, and disseminate the copyrighted content on the Internet for public consumption before the DVDs and Blu-Ray discs were made available for sale by retailers to the public,” Bridi’s indictment reads.
Code:Hello, fellow sceners...
Since no official notice has been going around with more information this writeup will hopefully
shed some light onto the whole 'corona era bust' or in other words, the SPARKS busts as the feds
like to call it.
The scene has been hit hard by various agencies from around the globe. Totaling over 29 sites has
been busted within 14 country's, mostly within Europe.
As from the looks now it is certain to say that the bust took a big bite out of the iSO scene.
without a doubt, this will not be the last of it since
there will be more information available for the feds to chunk through now.
Rumors has it that there was a bust in France from a known user that was also running an IRC server
for the linknet IRC network. This is not confirmed nor denied.
So please use linknet only with the common security practices (Ssl, Blowfish, Channel encryption).
This rumor should not be taken lightly and it's advised to keep sites off linknet and use a private
IRCD for any site related actions if possible.
As it will take time to rebuild and get everything back online here are some best practices that
might help you understand the risks.
Remember full mitigation is not possible so use your brain!!
## For Siteop's
1) Reset the full affil and user database. Make sure that every person either from group or trading
is being readded with up2date information that you find secure.
2) In addition to rebuilding the user/affil database make sure that the users either have set up a
fresh bouncer/znc or connect through socks.
3) Upgrade the site to maximum version; v2.10a (2019-12-30, glftpd) This version is prior to any
ongoing problems, If needed downgrade, also check SSL!!
4) Upgrade the server with the last possible kernel/packages to avoid any vulnerabilities that might
compromise the server.
5) Make sure there is no logging enabled and that everything is encrypted as it should be with
either luks(Linux Unified Key Setup) or another variant.
6) Did you host any busted groups? Consider rebuilding as suggested above but also rename the site,
change port and also change ip's and domain names.
7) Avoid adding users with the same/old bouncer information or with the same username. Suggest to
them to change it all before being added back.
8) Don't accept IP wildcards make sure it is either backed up with an ident and the first 3 octets
of the IP range.
9) Please use common sense when re-adding users, fall back on oldskool intuition.
## For Users/Curry's
1) Got a bouncer? Make sure to change the information -> domain name, port, and IP address.
2) Change username/ident for all sites.
3) Make sure to clear all logs and crypt any shells that are being used for scene related tasks.
4) Auto trading bots should be reconfigured to fresh values including the above measures.
5) Avoid insecure sites or sites that are ignoring the security measures. Especially within iso
sites.
This writeup has been put together for the love of the scene, we will back and we will thrive again!
Thoughts are with the fallen ones

Pleasantries aside, these are different times (most of the guys in Fastlink got fairly short prison sentences, if at all) and none of these groups owes us anything. I reckon most of them will keep a very low profile for some time, and then things will slowly begin taking off again. Not the first bust, not the last.

A bad week for Denuvo :biggrin:
I like it! :top:
I stopped posting Denuvo updates (not that I have a problem with others doing so) when it became clear that crackers had made this impossible protection their bitch =] Even so, I think it's hard to point at a winner here. It took a long time before the first crack appeared, and they're still not showing up on release day as it was in the past. The purpose of copy protection is not to keep games uncrackable forever (even if that may be a nominal goal), but as long as possible, to sway the demographic that 1. is already excited about a game, 2. has the money to purchase it, 3. doesn't want to wait for a pirated version to become available in order to try before buying.
So, it's a draw I guess? If you read Denuvo's name backwards it's (almost) pronounced "owned", but owned we are no more :gninja:
