Players have already found a way around the Windows PC version of Middle-earth: Shadow of War’s anti-tamper protection software, Denuvo. Only one day after it launched, hackers appear to have uploaded a crack for the game — and those who are against the DRM technology are claiming a major victory.
Pirates uploaded the file yesterday to a popular Denuvo-free games hub, resulting in a Reddit thread that’s already received more than 3,000 updates and has 1,000 comments. The majority of replies come from people who argue that the speed at which hackers have figured out how to remove Shadow of War’s DRM protection is a sign that the days of Denuvo may soon come to an end.
