So this did effect TechLand's Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Nutcracker Bundle released on December 22, 2022.
So based on this fact that TechLand got their nuts cracked so to speak, the question to discuss: what type of applications are sophisticated protection mechanisms okay for and what are not e.g. games. Also wis piracy generally a service problem with the company making the software? I find the better a service is, the less piracy occurs regardless of technological measures in place.
