I searched and saw F:NV is a Steam only game.(even if you buy the boxed version) and Bioshock has still Securom DRM.

I want to try these games, but i can never buy any time that has Steam or Securom. I don't want to send money to the bitch publisher of these games. Though i can gladly gave 2x or 3x money of normal price to developers.

Is it a way that i can send money directly to the developers of Bioshock and F:NV(Obsidian).
Then i will just download and play them cleanly.(thanks to the cracker groups all over the world!)

I imagine there would be steam and securom cracks, But you wont find out where from me.

Just buy it..

The only way to do what you're describing is to pirate the game and then send the developers a charitable donation. (Best not to tell them what you actually did, just say you want to support them.) The steam integration is complete for FO:NV, so there's no legitimate way to get it steam-free. Dunno about Bioshock.

About Bioshock, SecuROM doesn't install on your system until you start the game for the first time.

So, you can buy the game and install it, install any available patches, and then just replace the exe with a cracked one.

EDIT: You can also remove SecuROM after cracking the game if it installs itself without you starting the game, just by searching for its removal tool.

By the way, why the tinfoil hat? It is not like DRM fucks your PC or something.

Bethesda payed good money to Obsidian to let them use their IP and create a Fallout game for them. In return Obsidian delivered the game and used the money to keep running business. If you want the game pay the store that sells it and the money will go to the people who deserve it.

The Securom has been removed from Bioshock now. When you start it up for the first time it patches the game which removes it completely.

As for Fallout New Vegas suggest you either Grin & Bear it and use Steam or find a fixed exe after buying it to bypass Steam. However you will have to activate it first and patch it up to latest build before applying any fix. Also bear in mind that if you do start Steam up it will remove the fix and replace with what is supposed to be there.

Other than that get over yourself, seem to remember a similar thread you created not that long ago that had the community arguing over DRM / Steam and whatever else

Uh, you do realize that the 'bitch publisher' gets about 30% of the money and the rest goes directly to Obsidian, right? Or just get New Vegas from any different vendor and then activate it on Steam. Since it's steamworks, it just won't work without it.

Really?

I thought that 30% goes to Valve the rest to Bethesda. No Obsidian involved.

Smeg knows. If it is that way, it means Obsidian already got paid anyway and there's no way of paying them anyhow, well unless you get their bank account number...

I thought they just took away the activation stuff. They actually took out the whole thing?

No, they didn't. Securom remains. I'm glad you wrote to this thread.

We're glad you're glad
