And some people defend this claiming competition is good... People, this is NOT where the competition part applies... Thats the part that comes BEFORE you buy the game

Well if we have to nitpick then yes, some cracks are more complicated than others. But sometimes the games hoops are so annoying, people would much rather go through the hassle of a crack ONCE and be done with it.

But another party, let's say GoG.com, might not want to have all of their games to needlessly be dependent on a third-party when they have the capability to do all of that themselves.

I never said competition was pointless. let me repost something I replied elsewhere that better explains how I feel about the situation:

Lets be fair here, if you buy a Valve game you are forced to use Steam no matter where you bought it. That said, I think every online distributor should enforce stricter policies to prevent this from happening. If a publisher wants to sell through a specific store, then it should trust that distributor to protect…

I want competition, I just dont want the competition to keep sabotaging my game once I already made my choice.

Only way to go these days.

Thats great and all but it is the exclusivity of the games to a specific platform that really is quite pointless. Especially when you consider that stores like Green Man Gaming sometimes offer Steam games at better prices than Steam itself. Competition can flourish, but EA's and Ubi's practices are basically…

I stopped buying EA PC games because of this. The ones I do own I also pirated so I can launch them without Origin. Crazy shit PC gamers have to do to play.

Uplay is now launching Steam.

"but that they've also been successful in tapping the fiber undersea cables that connect the world's internet."

Sorry, I just couldn't stop thinking of this...

Or ws that flawed journalism? I get those 2 mixed up.

I ran away way back when the N64 launched. Never looked back since.

Why the fuck does this stuff happen to these guys and not molyneaux's cube game!

Such effort!

Did they leave the laughing scene untouched?
