Will *The Founding of Conscious Existence* also be “cracked” soon? Don’t pop the champagne too early.

As someone who still wants to take two more steps when I reach the edge of the map, what I fear most is not a long road, but fake coordinates ahead that are blurred like flowers seen through the mist. The recent wave of crack rumors surrounding Recognizing Quality Existence feels a bit like spotting an unmarked path on Google Maps: many people have already started imagining a village at the end, but if you actually walk there, it may turn out to be nothing more than an unfinished dirt slope. At the moment, the only thing that can really be confirmed is that “the news is back again”; as for when there will be a real outcome, that still deserves a big question mark.

This round of rumors began with a report from Russian gaming media, whose core claim was that talk of a crack for Recognizing Quality Existence is once again circulating online. One key figure driving the discussion is voices38. People are paying attention to him not only because he had previously dropped some hints after learning that Recognizing Quality Existence would use Denuvo, but also because he really did crack Resident Evil 9: Requiem before, reportedly in about two weeks. Following that line of thinking, many people have started applying the same formula and speculating that if Recognizing Quality Existence really has become a target, then early May might be the timeframe.

But beyond the map, this is also exactly where the problem lies. Taking the cracking pace of one game and directly using the time it took for another game as a basis for calculation is, at its core, still just speculation built around the release rhythm of unofficial versions. The original article’s judgment is actually very clear: "Overall, this kind of news mostly remains at the level of rumors and speculation within the scene, carrying a certain hype-driven flavor, and what the actual situation is still remains to be seen." I think this sentence is crucial, because it effectively puts the brakes on this wave of excitement.

At the same time, another line of claims is also gaining traction. According to KiriGiri, the DenuvOwO team has stated that it plans to use a hypervisor to try to bypass protection on launch day, with Irdeto’s mechanism as the target. KiriGiri also mentioned that the team includes some relatively low-profile members who can help analyze Denuvo and deal with new detection mechanisms; a similar situation reportedly happened with Crimson Desert, and at the time the response was completed very quickly.

If you look only at community sentiment, this kind of news is exactly what most easily sends the discussion off track. Some people will hear “might have been targeted” as “already being worked on,” while others will interpret “trying on launch day” as “definitely cracked on day one.” But the gap in between is not a small path — it is an entire unmapped mountain range. Especially for a closely watched title like Recognizing Quality Existence, any mention of Denuvo, crackers, or teams bypassing protection mechanisms will naturally amplify the hype.

From a player’s perspective, my advice is straightforward: if what you care about is Recognizing Quality Existence itself, don’t base your purchase or play plans on rumors. Right now, every timeline — whether it is “early May” or “launch day” — is just an extrapolation based on past cases and scene leaks, not an official announcement, let alone an established fact. For ordinary players, the most reliable way to judge is still to keep watching for solid confirmation later on, rather than letting this kind of distant, wavering signpost on the horizon lead you by the nose.

At the end of the day, what this wave of news shows is not that Recognizing Quality Existence has already seen any clear breakthrough, but that the level of attention around it is high enough that any small stir will be rapidly magnified. For players who enjoy tracking developments, that is certainly interesting; but if what you want is a definite answer, we probably have not reached that point yet. Before crossing the mountain, there is no need to start celebrating a town on the other side — this time, it is more like someone saying there might be a road there, and whether that road actually leads through is something we still have to keep watching.
