Piracy will always be possible.
Sadly not always anymore. Publishers are esuring more and more of the game’s actual content and logic is kept serverside, even if the game is supposedly single player. Bypassing DRM on such games only gets you a lobotomised client shell and is a core argument behind the SKG initiative and general presevation efforts.
Lest we forget, this is the man who infamously required you to have access to the CD case in order to progress the plot in his game.
What’s the context on this? Having a hard time finding anything
Edit: looks like Metal Gear Solid, Psycho Mantis flight. I only see stuff about changing the controller port though, AI slop summary says you can win the fight by “inspecting the game case or switching ports” but doesn’t say what inspecting the case accomplishes and I don’t see anyone else mentioning it.
a particular radio frequency could only be found on the box.
Contacting Meryl shortly before that fight requires getting her CODEC frequency, which is not told to you directly in-game. It’s on the gameplay screenshots on the back of the box.
