3DM is a Chinese video game warez group – a group of individuals specialized in cracking the digital rights management (DRM) applied to commercial PC video games. It is "one of the world's biggest" such groups, according to Kotaku.[1]
Their founder and leader is reported to be a woman using the pseudonym "Bird Sister". Unusually for piracy groups, 3DM's members have public profiles on the social network Sina Weibo, and use a blog to inform the public about their activities.[2]
3DM made gaming media headlines in January 2016 when Bird Sister wrote that she anticipated that in two years no more cracked games would be available, owing to new anti-tampering technology by Denuvo then beginning to be widely applied.[3] The group also announced that it would quit cracking games for a year,[1] and later claimed it had defeated Denuvo's technology.[4]
