It really aggravates me that things like denuvo exist but there is nothing at all like that for anti-cheat.

Cheaters buy the most copies of games, would go against corporate interests to get rid of them for real which is why ACs focus is datamining legits instead.

Will this affect the search for the One Piece?

One of the main point is that people who pirate games never planned to buy them to begin with, so anti-piracy laws or stuff like Denuvo won't make companies earn any money. It's even the opposite when it comes to Denuvo, pirates loves to break records when it comes to how fast they can crack it

I think the best way to fight piracy is to make it useless, and I believe Steam did a good job with that. I mean, what's the point of risking your PC's security and integrity by wandering on shady websites to crack games when you can have them for dirt cheap on Steam during sales, with a lot of features (community hub, workshop ect ect) updates and the likes?
However, when I see the ridiculous game pricing nowadays ($70~80 games with gacha tier monetization) I wouldn't be surprised to see more and more people pirating games, and I can't really blame them at some point.

Steam cured me pretty much instantly, for many reasons. And having a job.

Besides, f the garbage AAA games I don't want to buy? I don't want to buy it because I don't want to play it at all. Because it's garbage. Free garbage is still garbage. And anything I do want to play, I want to give the devs my money, as part of the social contract that makes us civilized. You give me something I like, I give you something you like (money).

I do miss the great demoscene music, though. But that's what YouTube is for.
