Following news last month that pirated PC games may become non-existent in a few years time, 3DM has announced that they’re stepping out of the cracking game, likely due to finally being defeated by the latest version of “Denuvo” copy protection.

Either way, it’ll be interesting to see what comes of this experiment. According to the group, however, the reason is not connected with its frustration with anti-piracy measures being implemented on games such as ‘Just Cause 3’.
Melodramatically, Bird Sister speculated that piracy itself could be a thing of the past within two years.
Just Cause 3 had been out for a month at that point and it had still yet to be cracked; almost driving the China based cracking group’s lead “cracking guy” to breaking point.
Now Torrentfreak reports that 3DM leader “Bird Sister” has said: “We just had an internal meeting”. Cracks by overseas warez groups will still get posted on the 3DM forum, and we will actively deal with these. This could mean that the group will be deleting such cracks from its forums.
“We’ll take a look at the situation in a year’s time to see if genuine sales have grown”, she added. Alluding to the difficulties 3DM has lately had with cracking games, the pirating group singled out the success of Denuvo Anti-Tamper – an encryption system developed by the Austrian company Denuvo Software Solutions GmbH.

Earlier in January the pirating group voiced its concerns about the uncertain future of pirated games in view of evolving anti-piracy technology.
