DenuvOwO, a group associated with the recent wave of Denuvo bypasses on PC, has reportedly disbanded. The news comes after Denuvo filed a lawsuit against anonymous cracker voices38, raising questions about whether the legal action is affecting others in the scene.
While the timing has fueled speculation, a direct connection between the lawsuit and the group’s decision remains unconfirmed.
In brief:
- DenuvOwO has reportedly disbanded, with a member said to have confirmed the news.
- The report follows Denuvo’s lawsuit accusing voices38 of bypassing protection on 26 games.
- The group’s reason for disbanding has not been publicly established.
- voices38 previously responded to the lawsuit by saying work would continue.
DenuvOwO Member Reportedly Confirms the Group Has Disbanded
According to the new reports, a DenuvOwO member was asked about the group’s status and confirmed it had disbanded. The claim has also circulated on Reddit, while iXBT’s coverage notes that representatives did not disclose the reason.
The reported shutdown follows the voices38 lawsuit, but the available reporting does not establish that Denuvo’s legal action directly caused it.
DenuvOwO had become known for its work on hypervisor-based Denuvo bypasses. Its reported departure could mean fewer releases from a recognizable name in that scene, although the wider impact remains unclear.
Denuvo’s voices38 Lawsuit Covers 26 Games
As reported by TorrentFreak, Denuvo filed its complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accusing voices38 of circumventing its Anti-Tamper protection in 26 games.
The titles listed include Hogwarts Legacy, Black Myth: Wukong, Resident Evil Requiem, and Doom: The Dark Ages. The complaint brings DMCA anti-circumvention claims and seeks damages alongside an injunction against further circumvention.
The filing identifies voices38 as an unknown individual or entity, with Denuvo seeking to pursue the person or people behind the handle.
voices38 Previously Said Work Would Continue
DenuvOwO’s reported disbandment also needs to be separated from voices38’s own response. Following news of the lawsuit, voices38 wrote: “All is fine. Everything will continue as normal,” according to the same report from TorrentFreak.
As of writing, the available reports point to DenuvOwO ending its activity. They leave both the reason for that decision and its longer-term effect on Denuvo bypass releases unresolved.
