Capcom is really unfortunate this time. After 6 years of developing a new IP "Identity Existence," the complete PC version was cracked by a group called DenuvOwO just a day before its release. They used HV virtual machine bypass technology to crack the Denuvo encryption. This is the first time it has happened; the game hasn't even been sold yet, and the complete version has already leaked online.
The reason is not complicated: traditional centralized encryption is that fragile, coupled with physical disc leaks and token leaks, there are plenty of vulnerabilities. A heavyweight masterpiece is already half dead before it even goes on sale.
In the end, this isn't just bad luck for Capcom, but the flaws of the entire traditional gaming industry have been exposed again: the legitimate copy you paid for doesn't really give you control. The encryption can be broken at any time, and you can't stop physical disc leaks. Even if you play normally, your account, skins, and items all belong to the platform; once they shut down the service, everything is gone.
The approach of @Pixels is different from traditional gaming platforms; it does not view players as mere traffic, but fundamentally considers players' rights, implementing the idea that "whoever plays the game owns the assets." The land you accumulate, the outfits you assemble, and the pets you raise are all genuinely yours, and won't disappear due to platform actions, nor can they be casually altered. Unlike traditional games, where the platform can reclaim items at will, it essentially puts a "security lock" on the game items you hold that won't get lost.
$PIXEL is not just a facade in this ecosystem; it is genuinely usable: whether it's building your own game assets, upgrading these assets, or exchanging with other players, it is indispensable. How community matters are decided, and what benefits players can receive are all tied to it. The entire circle doesn't rely on hype to sustain itself, but on everyone’s real gameplay and interaction to create a cycle, allowing your investment in the game to truly have corresponding value.
Now, casual GameFi is gradually rising, and players are becoming more rational; no one is willing to accept a game that could be cracked, shut down, or even have the platform "harvesting profits" at any time. What the market really needs are products with low barriers to entry, that can be implemented, and that genuinely protect players' rights. What #pixel does is solve the security pain points of traditional games using a decentralized approach, ensuring that every investment by players truly belongs to them.
