This lead the founder of Chinese cracking forum 3DM (a notorious hacking group) to admit that we may never see cracked games on PC again in as close as two years-time. PC games have always been available, cracked, on release, and sometimes before. FIFA 15, for instance, which came out in 2014, was only really cracked over six months after launch. Though it may not completely prevent titles from being pirated, it requires technical prowess and delays the process quite a bit, well after interest has waned. The service has been used in multiple EA games before such as FIFA and Dragon Age: Inquisition. Unlike previous horrors of SecuROM and similar services that ultimately aggravated legitimate users more than pirates, the new tech only prevents hackers.

Pirates and game-cracking groups that reverse-engineer DRM protection to make many PC - and sometimes console - games available for anyone to play for free, have been hitting major hurdles for over a year, thanks to Denuvo's Anti-Tamper technology.

A recent advancement in DRM technologies has helped many AAA title remain un-cracked for longer than they've ever been able to.
