Its funny how the free market is only good when it benefits capitalists. The moment someone makes them lose money competition is over and its time to sue others
they are NOT losing money. I would never buy this garbage to begin with. I’d pirate it to try it, but once I saw how utter shit they are I wouldn’t even play the pirated copies.
they are not losing money
It’s denuvo suing, in a sense if the uncrackable game service they claim is now crackable, they will lose customers
but this is like advertising you are the best and then sue anyone that is better to maintain your position
They aren’t, but they have the understanding of literal children. They can’t process the fact that a pirated game isn’t a lost sale, because to them every single person on the planet wants what they have to offer, and if they get it any way OTHER than buying it outright at full price, CLEARLY it must be theft and people are targeting them specifically because what they have is so great.
I pirated Minecraft back in the beta days, decided I loved it, and eventually bought it (before notch went full mask off and the sale of mojang) had it not been for TPB, mojang would have had one less sale.
Same for several others. Hilariously, the only time I ever recieved a c&d was for a game I loved and then canceled the online order for when I got the letter two days later. I wanted to buy it, but the letter made up my mind that I was never giving them money again. Fuck em. Dead rising went downhill after the first one anyway so I didn’t miss much.
Executives view life as a zero-sum game.
TBF, every time some corpo fuckstick parrots “theft”, I’m reminded that none of them want any of us to dig into the age-old tradition of wage theft. That’s theft, and what they’re constantly whinging about plainly isn’t.
"Every year in this country (US), workers lose more money to wage theft than is lost to all forms of property crime (robberies, burglaries, larceny and motor vehicle theft) combined. Each year, well over $15 billion is stolen from workers by their employers; each year, less than 3% of that total is recovered for those same workers.
Employers steal their workers’ wages in a variety of ways:

p.s. In 2025, that “$15 billion” was actually $50 billion+. 🤢🤕
