GoKawiilDenuvo-cracking group DenuvOwO reportedly disbands amid Irdeto legal pressure
DenuvOwO, the group behind a hypervisor-based method for bypassing Denuvo DRM, has reportedly disbanded. The forum CS.Rin, a major hub for links to their cracked games, has removed related links and banned some members, apparently to limit its own legal exposure as Irdeto pursues cracker Voices38 in court.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The disbanding could be read as a rare enforcement win for Irdeto against DRM crackers, though a piracy-scene source suggests it stems from legal pressure rather than technical defeat. Because DenuvOwO's method relied on widely available open-source tools, others may be able to reproduce similar bypasses, meaning the setback may only be temporary for the cracking scene.
- DenuvOwO, creator of a hypervisor-based Denuvo bypass, has reportedly disbanded.
- CS.Rin has scrubbed related links and banned members, likely to avoid legal exposure tied to Irdeto's lawsuit against Voices38.
- Other groups like RUNE continue cracking Denuvo titles, suggesting the DRM-cracking scene isn't halted.
