If I had to guess, I would say Manga 100% and if I had to put a second place, it would be DENUVO (fucked) games.

    Anything that requires an online service. Specifically, I’m talking about games that need a server to run and permanently shut down once it’s offline – these are becoming more common even among games with single player modes.

    I don’t see manga becoming harder, at all, even with all the crackdowns. Smaller files, and it’s the type of stuff you can’t reliably DRM. Denuvo is mostly a problem with companies like SEGA, honestly. Most publishers these days remove it after a while.

        And if war breaks out and many countries are crippled (think post-nuclear apocalypse) that’ll help that case too. Not saying it will happen but it could.

        In general, perhaps, but in keeping with OP’s implication of “harder to do” (from an individual standpoint), maritime piracy will become increasingly more challenging to engage in as (/if) it rises in prominence once again, culturally, as civilization falters in maintaining itself globally. 🤷🏼‍♂️ More people doing it, more people taking measures against it, more risk to one’s person/lifespan, etc. I mean, by that metric on a larger scale: fucking everything’s gonna get harder to do. 😅😶

    Well if u would count games like NFS 2015 which hardcorely locked to server and mostly die forever with some exception like NFS World where people reverse engineered server.

    piracy didn’t start with the internet and won’t end on it. like with porn, it always finds a way.
