What’s the other side for free cloud gaming?

It’s the not-quite-top-end release of a 7-year-old architecture - of course people are going to move on from it even with the current pricing environment. It doesn’t help that the 2060 was roughly equivalent in raster performance at its launch even in games programmed with the older architecture in mind.

In the LaD dub did they also dub things like the incidental world callouts and such?

Honestly the main reason I played it subbed is because I already did so much of the series with it that I’m used to it, but I was happy to hear that they started doing dubs again with LaD!

FF7R was full game length but ended when the party left Midgar; in the original game that is a bit before the end of Disc 1.

Granted, the Midgar section was greatly expanded for the remake and it’s pretty clear that we’re not necessarily doing a 1:1 equivalence with the original game…

For what - getting around to finishing what would probably have been the day-one patch if they hadn’t released a month early to avoid Starfield?

Nobody cracked the PC version until after the removal.

Always online aside, the reason Denuvo keeps being used is because for most Denuvoed games it takes a lot longer than a few days/weeks for a crack to be released, if ever - there is only one entity that cracks Denuvo anymore, and their releases are sporadic (plus they’re a bit of a … character). Plenty of games still don’t use Denuvo though, and those don’t even last a day.

I don’t quite get slapping it on an always online game where you’re expected to connect directly to their game servers, though.
