I'm not too sure, maybe? If the tracking pixel is on a domain known to serve ads or trackers, it might, but if it's on a legitimate domain (e.g. your ISP's) I don't think it can, since you'd have to have added the ISP's domain to the Pi-hole blacklist

Missing the point again, it's almost comical lol

Thanks for your invaluable input, but I found an answer to my question and we can end this here. Hopefully I'll never have to interact with you again in the future! Have a nice day

Screenshots of FG's FFXV repack page, I couldn't find a way to embed them into the comment from my Lemmy client without uploading them to the instance.

You can go to FG's, search "Final Fantasy XV", click on the second result, and then go to the bottom of FG's post to see a spoilered section containing links to the release I've been talking about

Fixed.

Email aliasing services, which are genuinely good services to use, strip those pixels from inbound emails. At least Firefox Relay, Addy and SimpleLogin do

You're acting awfully smug and, like the pot calling the kettle black, doing so without an ounce of self-awareness.

Once again, I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's not an upcoming repack, it's a game from 2018, cracked ahead of release thanks to EA's Origin launcher pushing an unprotected (no Denuvo) demo executable. Comments in the Discuss section at the bottom of FG's page show that the repack was online on March 16 2018.

I'm not talking about the mobile game, but about the "WINDOWS EDITION" V1261414 NON-HV. As I already mentioned, after the link to the HV repack, there's a spoilered section with links to the old, non-HV repack and I'm asking if anyone knows whether this version, using CODEX release, is the one with the unprotected .exe or not

Fair point, thanks for bringing it up

I was looking at PIA: even though it's USA-based they can not produce logs or any other type of info even if they get a subpoena, and they have port forwarding. Know anything about them?

I know, that's why I specified in the OP that I'm asking about the CODEX release (at the end of FG's post, hidden behind a spoiler "older, non-hv repack"), not the DenuvOwO one

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, to be honest... I may need a bit more info lol

In the past, before Denuvo? Yes, but Denuvo is another beast and cracks are mostly bypasses (Denuvo still present, and its checks are spoofed) if I'm not mistaken

probably being able to go from star system to star system without having to open and use the stellar map and click on the star you want to warp to

edit: yeah

The studio has also added what it calls "seamless warping", meaning you can just lock onto the brightest star in the sky and travel straight there without visiting the galactic map.
