    Something tells me they’re just going to reform under a new name or with others, just a hunch

    The complaint states that Denuvo does not know voices38’s real identity and identifies Reddit, Discord, and Steam accounts that it believes could help establish who is behind it.

    if they don’t know who they’re suing, how are they able to sue them?

      I’m guessing it gives them legal footing to proceed with requests via police to ISPs, service suppliers etc to attempt to identify them?

          Suing unknown isn’t suing nobody. Suing unknown means suing to obtain judicial means to determine the identity of the defendant. For instance, you can’t just ask Valve to hand out information about the owner of a given account. But if a judge finds that it may be relevant to identifying that “unknown”, they can order Valve to hand out that information.

      If you sue them, then they can investigate even more. Otherwise if someone is not sued, just investigating and asking for details cannot be forced. I assume at least. So to sue against unknown is the first step in finding who it is.

    TL;DR: DenuvOwO reportedly disbanded after a member linked the decision to Denuvo’s lawsuit against voices38, though the lawsuit does not mention or connect voices38 to the group. Known for hypervisor-based bypasses used on more than 60 games, DenuvOwO’s departure may leave other groups to continue developing the publicly available technique.
