Overview
- Denuvo filed a federal complaint on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that names the alias VOICES38 and seeks injunctions, damages, an accounting of profits, and attorney fees.
- The complaint lists 26 games that Denuvo says were circumvented and points to a Reddit account, a Discord user ID, and multiple Steam profiles that it alleges are linked to voices38.
- The person using the voices38 alias publicly replied on Reddit with the brief message “All is fine. Everything will continue as normal,” and the defendant’s real identity has not been established in court.
- If the case moves into discovery Denuvo could ask the court to compel platform records from Reddit, Discord, and Steam to link accounts to a real-world person, but no subpoenas or rulings have been publicly recorded yet.
- The case highlights how DMCA Section 1201 lets rights holders sue for circumvention of technical protections and could shape how game makers and platforms enforce anti-tamper systems going forward.
