DRM causes a popular game to stutter. The fix is to pirate it.
Date: 2021-07-13 00:00:00

DRM often punishes legitimate players without stopping pirates, but piracy being the only way to enjoy a game broken by DRM is another thing entirely. Enter Capcom's Resident Evil Village, whose DRM-related "stuttering" problems are fixed simply by downloading a cracked copy.

Disappointed buyers of the game (and anyone else) can now get what they paid for (or didn't)—and finally know why the performance problems haven't been fixed despite months of complaining.
