akwater: But... wait.. "hard work" making a game... for a closed group "Paying people" is made public "free"....The thing seems to be that if the "Scene" people were to stop making cracks which in turn would slow/stop major companies work from being taken for free ie stolen then the "Scene's" work would also be no longer stolen.........
You obviously and most people don't understand how much effort goes into making a game DRM free without source code. You got to:
* Make your debugger cloaked
* Trace through miles of DRM code to get to the protector's OEP
* Unpack the executable from that point
* Reconstruct the file after unpacking so it all fits.
* Test it thoroughly.
That is hard work.
And then GOG shits on that and just releases the end result and then people parade that GOG went to "miles of effort" making games packaged. It seems then all the hard work getting it prepared is done by the warez group, when someone notices it and sees it from their eyes, they are shitted on too for being the messenger and then they are treated like scum because of even seeing both sides of the story. And the GOG fanboys all come in and troll the messenger to death!!!
I do NOT appreciate being trolled for being the messenger and seeing & understanding
both sides of the story. I understand that the people responsible for fixed exe's have no leg to stand on, but shooting the messenger?
Sheesh! I had enough trying to reason nicely since all I get is nothing but trolling back. This will be the last time I post here since, whats the point of trying to purchase things and comment on the support forum when I get flamed for my views?
@akwater: but then that defeats the purpose. If its only useful for one scene group, then it will be nuked for being non working to the other sceners which are meant to have access only to it. Its when there is scum that release outside that circie, which is how piracy gets to BitTorrent. If it wasn't for the people who leak stuff, the cracks won't be for the general public.
