A California federal judge rejected Denuvo's original 46 subpoena requests seeking to unmask the game-cracking figure known as Voices38, ruling the requests exceeded what was needed for identification and raised privacy concerns. Denuvo revised the request down to nine subpoenas targeting Discord, Valve, and Reddit, which the judge has now approved. The move is part of Denuvo's DMCA lawsuit against Voices38 over alleged circumvention of its anti-tamper technology.

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.

Denuvo has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against an unidentified hacker known as 'voices38,' accusing them of circumventing its Anti-Tamper protection in at least 26 titles, including Hogwarts Legacy, Black Myth: Wukong, Resident Evil Requiem, and Doom: The Dark Ages. Since Denuvo doesn't hold copyrights to these games, the suit relies on the DMCA's anti-circumvention rules rather than copyright infringement claims, seeking damages and an injunction against further tampering.
