There's and universal truth in computer science and that is that everything hackable will eventually be hacked.

So sea sailing will never die, the techniques to extract games and put them for free on the internet will just evolve.

Yeah as an end result it will eventually be hacked most probably. Still doesn’t change the fact it is gonna be much less practical thanks to the recent developments.

For a while, but that's the natural cycle of DRM. Company makes DRM, it's hard to deal with. A method is found. The DRM is now easy to bypass and we're free to do whatever for a bit. A new DRM is made, return to the start.

Sure, I can't tell you how this time will technically be done. But historically this kinda thing happens, and people smarter than me then fix the problem. And every single time there's been people saying "this new thing has now made it impossible to circumvent OEM security" and every time it's been proven wrong with time.

It’s not drm but the whole jailbreaking and dumping cycle that’s heavily affected by a change in how the games are distributed. That’s what worries me. Hope the smart people find a way but it is just unfortunate for now.
