Horizon Forbidden West cracked and pirated within 30 seconds of release.

- Start date
Those people are either misinformed or riding the bottom end of system requirements. In other words it's total nonsense.
PlayStation games on PC are just the games pirates play while they wait for the other games to be cracked. All the saving of not buying games can go into their RTX 4090s and GaaS. PC ports are a cancer for PlayStation AAA single player games.
It honestly looks like Sony is just completely unaware of what is going on, asleep at the wheel.

And without PlayStation Sony is screwed, these idiots undid countless years of work building their own ecosystem/brand.
These two will be solely responsible for the downfall of PlayStation
man you sound bitter and just keep saying things that blatantly aren't true.
if PlayStation wants more PC sales, release day and date, that way people don't have to double dip. look at Helldivers 2, that was day and date and is still a massive success.
Helldivers 2 is a game that heavily relies on online component to function for teamwork etc
The folks gota have to buy the original game to be a part of it
Completly different case with single player game like god of wae ragnarok or horizon forbiden west
but there is video proof out there from high powered rigs. How is it total nonsense? I have a high rig, only thing I could use is increased storage.
for a good example: Tekken 7's producer said there would be no Denuvo in Tekken 8 because it hampered the game and damaged the reputation.
It's not about numbers of sales, it's about revenue and profits. That's why it makes sense to stagger releases, same as what Rockstar are doing with GTA6. This is why Nixxes were bought - let first-party teams focus on Playstation development, then they come in to do a port some time later.

while that is true, many people have been saying they want day and date over waiting years after release, all hype dies out, it doesn't have the same potential as it did if it were to release the same day.
I personally can see all GaaS coming day and date, though.
When was Helldivers 2 pirated? You clearly don't know what you are talking about, GaaS is completely different from single player AAA games cracked they want.
If Sony wants to do it, good for them, I'm just going to laugh my ass off as they destroy their console in an attempt to support a user base that are indifferent to their games or outright hate them.
It's not a coincidence that despite PC massive install base there are so few single player break out success while there are countless examples of GaaS having massive success.
"PCs are the future! Sony should really release all Day1 games on PC too".
So nothing has changed. I completely forgot how a buddy, a PC gamer, got new games cracked on sampler every week from his buddy 30 years ago.
How's it going today? The crack alone doesn't help, it still has to be downloaded from illegal sites, right? I actually thought Warez or some clients had disappeared by now. But it still seems easy to pull pirated copies. This also explains why some PC gamers can afford graphics cards for $500+. Games are still free for many people.
Let's see how the player numbers on Steam develop, especially in comparison to Helldivers 2, and whether Sony will protect games better in the future.

I've never seen any evidence of it actually affecting something outside of low level hardware. Any time people try to attribute it to a performance issue there's a multitude of other explanations that wipe it clean.
Different game versions, dual DRM causing conflicts until the other is removed etc. The thing that people also don't understand is that cracked Denuvo code is still running the program, it's forced into a validation loop.
If not for Denuvo cracked games would be more popular then ever (and maybe they are).
My dude, it literally just came out. Give people time, they're probably working
Game got pirated in 30 seconds.
They had time for that.
I do know what I am talking about, many cracks do, in fact, have online. (factually speaking) but they usually can only play with other cracked users. (some do follow normal online though)
GaaS is different from AAA, but AAA will also be bought even more if they didn't wait so long in the first place. I haven't seen anyone "hate" Sony games, just indifference from what I've seen.
you mean a small group of people had time to crack a game with no anti-piracy measures? Why am I not surprised.
Are you boycotting all games that have DRM? What is your problem with Denuvo?
Do you just want for PlayStation to stop making these games as more and more people start to pirate them?
I don't have a problem with it! I literally just said HFW could have used it and it would have taken longer to crack/be harder to crack.
Denuvo is a must for PlayStation games on PC and it's shame Sony has already released so many games without it. A complete disgrace to the people supporting their games and expecting more games in the future.
Right now we are at an all time low for Sony published PlayStation games on PlayStation and at an all time high for PlayStation published games released on PC. PC support is directly affecting the output of PS5 games.
Shaw layden ,Jim Ryan come outside. Explain it to to toki hiroki and the goofy bean counters.
