Anti-piracy company Denuvo sues a prolific game pirate

Denuvo filed suit against a repeat pirate who reportedly isn't especially worried about it.

Anti-piracy company Denuvo filed suit directly against a prolific repeat game pirate, who has reportedly responded without much apparent concern about the case.

Most anti-piracy efforts in gaming focus on software-side protection rather than direct legal action against individuals, which makes a company like Denuvo actually filing suit a rare move — how the case plays out could signal whether direct legal pressure becomes a more common tool in this space going forward.

Why it matters. A rare case of an anti-piracy company taking a pirate to court directly.
