Yet the game is broken, not what I called effective cracking.
If they can bypass the DRM altogether that's one thing, but until they do, they've failed. Each day the game sits on the market without a way to pirate it, that's a huge victory for PC developers and publishers, and it's not hurting anyone but those trying to pirate it.
And then they can drop the price down by half, still make a margin, but score a killing in sales, because people are so fed up of not being able to play, that the idea of paying 25 bones for a game is not only achievable but acceptable.
Imagine if Crysis was never cracked, and they discounted the game? $$$
Though I could do without games requiring STEAM to run. I really am against any software on my machines that doesn't need to be there. I was sorely irked that I need steam to continuously update Aliens vs Predator, just in hopes that the new patch reduces all the DX11 crashing.
