Irdeto and Denuvo File Lawsuit Against Game Cracker voices38

Irdeto and Denuvo have filed a lawsuit against digital protection cracker voices38. This marks the first time Denuvo or its parent company Irdeto has taken direct legal action against someone for cracking its digital protection software.

Cracker voices38 has previously released cracks for titles such as Star Wars: Outlaws, Persona 3 Reload, and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Those specific cracks became available on September 6th. Prior to this legal filing, Denuvo had not pursued other notable crackers such as EMPRESS or CODEX through the courts.

The lawsuit introduces potential outcomes for the future of these releases. Legal action could stop voices38 from releasing further cracks in an effort to avoid additional legal trouble. Alternatively, the cracker might continue releasing content if adequate steps have been taken to protect and conceal personal identity. Typically, the cracker has released a new Denuvo crack every two or three weeks. Industry observers will be watching to see if future cracks continue to appear on that schedule.
