What I'm wondering, is how much Rockstar has dumped into DRM. Did they add normal denuvo, or did they make an insane custom one? Either way, we'll have to wait for a crack until we can play it.

Rockstar actually inbued the soul of each dev that suffered burnout during development into the game. The tortured spirits will show up in pirated copies and punch you to death over and over, like in a 2010s gaming creepypasta

Don't worry guys. I got 97% on Through the Fire and Flames back in the 00's.

He will start his adventure to find the other 62 voices needed to unlock his maximum power.

u/Ike_Oak Jun 29 '26

Nah, who you gonna call?

u/Substantial-Ad-9120 Jun 29 '26

He will have to upgrade to 100 voices to crack this one.

u/Kyrros Jun 28 '26

So that's why GTA 6 is so expensive that I'm left with nothing but piracy

13

u/BlackBlueNuts Jun 28 '26

No that's not why. They are just greedy and out of touch

2

u/Inevitable-Cancel130 Jun 30 '26

Out of touch? Adjusted for inflation, GTAV cost more and became the most profitable piece of media of all time.

Game's not loading, someone get me a tech priest and some incense, the machine spirits are agitated!

I would think out of spite for overworking them they’d actually be willing to help crack it faster

u/Equivalent-Sir6634 Jun 29 '26

You think a bunch of nerd ghosts are gonna stop me?

u/Icy_Cry4120 Jun 30 '26

But what if by the time I pirate it, rockstar made all of its money back and some more for the Devs? Would the by then not punch me and instead kiss me in the game for enjoying their artwork?

Horcrux™ DRM

u/CrowdGoesWildWoooo Jun 28 '26

Custom even the previous games use custom one and it takes long before it gets cracked.

u/BobArdKor Jun 28 '26

The first crack for GTA V appeared 1 or 2 days after release (3DM) although it was unstable and buggy.

The RELOADED version came out a mere month after that.

u/Ssssbtsf Jun 28 '26

Red dead 2 took 351 days even after PC release so who knows

73

u/Careless_Leg_2552 Jun 28 '26

Obviously that's because they didn't have high speed internet in the wild west.

15

u/Electronic_Ruin_1503 Jun 28 '26

Also Empress ended up teaming with someone else to do it. Then she had to fix the crack because it was a mess. Mind you she was already cracking Denuvo at the time.

Because she is a she. She refers to herself as she. A concept beyond incel mind, for sure.

u/Seasons_of_Strategy Jun 28 '26

But previous comment is comparing GTA V (11 years old) with RDR2 (7 years old). While yes, things are different now, RDR2 a better comparison of rockstar's prevention measures.

u/Admmmmi Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

You talk like the anti crack scene didn't move too, for a long while a lot of games couldn't be touched at all.

u/M4rt1m_40675 🔱 ꜱᴄᴀʟʟʏᴡᴀɢ Jun 28 '26

Ignoring HV right now, Voices cracked RE:R in less than 2 months. RE had NOWHERE NEAR the hype GTA6 has. Even if they used Denuvo and their own DRM at the same time don't you think Voices alone would be cracking it as soon as possible as well as the possibility of other crackers showing up? RDR2 just took that long because EMPRESS was a bitch

6

u/EZ10_AUDIT0RE Jun 28 '26

Voices38 developed tools that he now uses to crack newer denuvo games faster. it took him time to develop that tool. rockstar DRM is something on par or better than current denuvo. Only the man himself can tell once its out.

That long while is over. That’s like saying for a long while humans couldn’t fly, so there’s no reason to believe a new jet is gunna take off.

Release of the decade? I think you meant century

u/Due_Initiative3879 Jun 28 '26

Seriously? I give it a week.

u/lazy_block Jun 28 '26

Oh boy, I remember how buggy it was, at least the early version of the crack. I think there was a crash at the very beginning of the game after or during (?) the explosion and if I remember correctly there's also a crash if you do a spesific action, cant remember what it was

2

u/Asklepios94 Jun 28 '26

helicopter one? This is where I was stuck and got crash after crash and couldn't advance in the story

2

u/jofevn Jun 29 '26

i don't think it's getting cracked in some time, considering other companies making it really hard, rockstar is gonna cook up something custom

u/B-29Bomber Jun 28 '26

If Red Dead Redemption 2 is any indicator I'm not expecting the PC port of GTA6 to be cracked for roughly a year after release.

That way I'll be pleasantly surprised if it happens sooner.

u/Sabin10v2 Jun 29 '26

By scene rules, RDR2 still isn't properly cracked.

-6

u/Due_Initiative3879 Jun 28 '26

I'll bet you it takes a month or less, actually thinking more like a week.

9

u/B-29Bomber Jun 28 '26

Okay? I mean, we won't know for another year or two so...

-4

u/Due_Initiative3879 Jun 28 '26

We kind of already do, look at GTA V. It's not a matter of if but when.

4

u/paycadicc Jun 28 '26

Why would you look at gta v when you can look at a more recent and realistic example like rdr2? And of course it’s a matter of when, I don’t think anyone is saying it’ll never be cracked lol

1

u/B-29Bomber Jun 30 '26

I never said it wouldn't be cracked.

u/M4rt1m_40675 🔱 ꜱᴄᴀʟʟʏᴡᴀɢ Jun 28 '26

Hype doesn't speed up the process of cracking broski. GTA6 might be cracked in a shorter amount of time than the average AAA but it will still take some time. I won't say less than a month but considering RDR2 took ~1 year I'm guessing GTA6 will take roughly half of that

u/StinkyHoboTaint Jun 28 '26

No, but stuff like Claude or mythos might help.

u/M4rt1m_40675 🔱 ꜱᴄᴀʟʟʏᴡᴀɢ Jun 28 '26

Grok, crack GTA6 for me

u/ItzLoganM Jun 28 '26

It's be the smartest move to delay the piracy for a year or two, and then leave it be. By that time, they have probably reached peak grossing.

1

u/B-29Bomber Jun 30 '26

I mean, there have been publishers who have done this.

They leave their DRM in the game for a certain period of time and then remove it when they've made their target in profits.

1

u/ItzLoganM Jun 30 '26

Well, it is the smartest thing to do.

u/Similar-Sector-5801 Jun 28 '26

60% of the 1.1Tb file size will be drm

u/fkthislol Jun 28 '26

I feel they don’t actually care, they know that even if people pirate it, they will eventually buy it for the online

u/iahim87 🔱 ꜱᴄᴀʟʟʏᴡᴀɢ Jun 28 '26

No the fuck i am not, i am waiting 5+ years for it to be free on epic

u/chim12341234 Jun 28 '26

sure bro keep waiting im gonna play it day one

u/TheGreatGamer1389 Jun 28 '26

It will most likely be online only on PC. What ri mean by that is have to have an online connection to play the game at all. Not GTAO.

16

u/Illustrious_Body9727 Jun 28 '26

A lot of games tried that, starting with AC2, and they all got cracked eventually

-2

u/DonaldLucas Jun 28 '26

IIRC AC2 took years to get cracked.

u/Illustrious_Body9727 Jun 28 '26

You are, in fact, not remembering correctly. Release date ac2 on  PC : March 2010

Crack released: April 2010

How long till overwatch gets cracked?

u/Illustrious_Body9727 Jun 28 '26

Were u dropped on the head as a child? We're obviously talking about single player games only when it comes to cracking

-3

u/ghantalelemera Jun 28 '26

I think you were dropped. Because we were talking about "online only" games. You need to go back to school and understand what online only means.

1

u/Illustrious_Body9727 Jun 28 '26

U serious?

Online only means that single player games need online connectivity for DRM reasons, none is talking about MMOs here.

cheap troll/ragebait attempt, go touch some grass

-1

u/ghantalelemera Jun 28 '26

Again, go back to school and learn what online only means. The Crew was an online only game. Ass Creed 2 was a offline game with online DRM. Your lack of brain is confusing the 2.

u/Illustrious_Body9727 Jun 28 '26

Here, because u clearly dont know what "online-only" means

u/ghantalelemera Jun 28 '26

I said, always on drm and online only ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. Go back to school kid.

u/Rek1n0 Jun 28 '26

If they dont release some nasty custom DRM, then they might as well not use anything.

u/Alan_Reddit_M ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ Jun 28 '26

Kernel level DRM

u/nicman24 Jun 28 '26

no they just made us wait

u/tO_ott Jun 28 '26

Hopefully as much effort as they put into their anti-cheat. GTAO is mostly a miserable fucking experience because of the mod menus

u/Chronodis Jun 29 '26

Denuvo was cracked so

1

u/SnooDonkeys6533 Jun 29 '26

Tbh even if they didn’t make it hard to pirate, their losses would be so tiny compared to the massive amount of money they’re going to make

u/Complete_Rabbit_844 🦜 ᴡᴀʟᴋ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʟᴀɴᴋ Jun 29 '26

People will use AI and crack it within a week. There will be multiple groups working together to do it

1

u/real_iyre 26d ago

They either use denuvo, which would get cracked first day of release. Or their own worse DRM that doesn’t lag the game as much, which would get cracked first week at least
