Сроки взлома DOOM: The Dark Ages — когда игра появится на торрентах

DOOM: The Dark Ages, a prequel to DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, is set to release on May 15. In Russia, the game will not be available for official purchase, with prices ranging from 6,000 to 10,000 rubles, leading some to consider waiting for pirated versions. The game uses Denuvo DRM, complicating hacking efforts. Historical data shows that hacking timelines for Denuvo-protected games vary, making it difficult to predict when DOOM: The Dark Ages will appear on torrent sites. Factors influencing hacking speed include the game's popularity, the complexity of Denuvo, technical features of the game, hacker activity, and potential updates. Three scenarios for when the game might be hacked are: optimistic (7–14 days post-release), realistic (1-3 months), and pessimistic (6–12 months). The realistic scenario is deemed most likely due to the game's popularity.

Overclockers.ru: InZOI оказалась доступна на торрент-ресурсах практически сразу после релиза

The game was released on March 28, 2025, and received a warm community response, though it drew comparisons to a scaled-down version of GTA. It was quickly pirated on various torrent platforms. The developers initially used the Denuvo anti-piracy system but removed it after criticism regarding its negative impact on game performance and restrictions on modding. Players reported that Denuvo hindered performance and limited user-generated mods, essential for the game's longevity. In response to these challenges, inZOI Studio and Krafton focused on community support, leading to modders releasing enhancements. The game featured unexpected mechanics, such as fighting NPCs, kidnapping children, and running over pedestrians, prompting comparisons to GTA. The development team has since addressed some of these mechanics and bugs.
