thedreamer777x: not so long ago learned all about the fact that 2 games sold in this store are cracked .exe file,
Games: Flotout, Arcanum
I do not want to buy a hacked game, I want the original and not crack
I want to know whether the cracks were replaced by real files or not?
What the...
Why did you necro a thread AND start a new thread to ask the same thing?
Here's what I said over there
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_uses_crack_to_remove_flatouts_protection/post97 for what its worth:
"GOG modifies gamefiles ALL THE TIME - in these 2 examples they cheated and used cracks from the cracker community but usually they just do it themselves, for example, one game that I'm currently playing is 'The Even More Incredible Machine' where GOG or someone else has modified the game files so that the game lets you play whatever 3 objects you choose on the copy protection screen at boot instead of kicking you out if you get it wrong
Also GOG hacked out countless 'CD Checks' - the equivalent of 'No CD' cracks - how else do you think all these old games play from your HD and not a CD?
It's just part of GOGs efforts to preserve games for the future, DRM and copy protection scheme free - get OVER it already!"
