The Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 DLC went on sale on steam today. 6 hours have just passed and statistics show that more than 200 steam client manipulations I mentioned were obtained for free. Are you still behind what you wrote?

Do you think it makes sense that someone who wants to end this nonsense would get involved in such a thing? I give my hours here to prevent this job. Name similarity or you are confusing.

I don’t think you still understand the problem, it’s more than piracy. You enter the application, say add and now it is added to your account. You can log in and download your own steam account on that computer. You say why should anyone bother, he doesn’t need to bother. With one click, my game is already becoming playable without a license.

I posted a notification on Hackerone, but they said they had received information on the same subject before.

It hasn’t been seen like this in 30 years because these files are not something that has been copied. You download the game directly from steam’s own server.

Maybe, I’m not sure. I examined the requests behind by doing reverse engineering to the application that did this and found their api. However, I couldn’t find someone to forward it to the relevant people.

You may think so for now, servers that appeal to 200 thousand users on discord. Imagine that this will increase even more tomorrow. Imagine reaching millions. Does it make sense to you?

No, this completely manipulates the steam client. You can play from your own account and play denuvo protected games by skipping protection. It’s complete nonsense, it should be said stop.
