"No games crackable in 2 years time, said the headline...now the cracking scene, which was mostly dying, has seen some revival"

Do you have a citation for this? Every game, dvd, stream, book etc ever has been cracked. Software protection has a 0% success rate.

Excerpt from wikipedia's article on Denuvo

In January 2016, 3DM reportedly nearly gave up attempting to crack Just Cause 3, which is protected with Denuvo, due to the difficulties associated with the process.[8] They also warned that due to the current trends in encryption technology, in two years' time, the cracking of video games may become impossible.[8][9]

Oxxide is actually arguing against this headline: https://torrentfreak.com/no-more-pirate-games-in-two-years-g...
