With online security this was more difficult and people had to make a new crack to let the drm think is was connect to the server and all was oké. Most companies bought DRM software from third party developers that got implemented into the games gold release (the version that goes on ace or store). To remove this DRM cost time because the game and assets need to be recompiled without this DRM system, most of the time even braking some checks.\n\nSo as a solution here and not spending time on development time, to just a piece of software from a “pirate” group. Although most of the time the group who made the crack never distributed the game as a torrent, some third party groups made bundle torrents where at one go you had the game and crack.","removed":false,"published":"2023-09-05T19:31:25.563761Z","deleted":false,"ap_id":"https://feddit.nl/comment/2571908","local":false,"path":"0.2563351.2565260","distinguished":false,"language_id":37},"creator":{"id":767935,"name":"TrekHuis","banned":false,"published":"2023-07-01T06:53:52.468557Z","actor_id":"https://feddit.nl/u/TrekHuis","local":false,"deleted":false,"bot_account":false,"instance_id":75584},"post":{"id":2657322,"name":"Rockstar is selling cracked game copies on steam.","url":"https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/359fbe16-4ac4-43ee-847d-a8f5d4fed00d.png","creator_id":945882,"community_id":8440,"removed":false,"locked":false,"published":"2023-09-05T17:27:45.034699Z","deleted":false,"nsfw":false,"thumbnail_url":"https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/37efd8ca-bcf9-408d-a2e9-d6c4d6b083e0.png","ap_id":"https://lemmy.world/post/4502893","local":false,"language_id":37,"featured_community":false,"featured_local":false},"community":{"id":8440,"name":"crackwatch","title":"CrackWatch","description":"**IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS FORUM, PLEASE READ THIS POST >>>>[The Beginner's Guide](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/2768)<<<< IT WILL TAKE 2 MINUTES MAX, AND IT WILL ANSWER MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS**\n\nWelcome to CrackWatch, a piracy news forum dedicated to informing the public about the latest cracks and bypasses.\n\nTo get live announcements of the latest releases, follow our [Twitter](https://twitter.com/realcrackwatch) \n\nRules\n\n>1.

Even if the game was fully installed and didn’t need the disc to run, requiring the disc was a primitive form of DRM.\n\nOne of the most common forms of cracks was a NoDisc crack, which did exactly what it says on the label; It removed the requirement for you to insert a disc. This was usually just a quick file replacement. So it was easy to take the game disc to your buddy’s house, use it to install the game on their computer, apply the NoDisc crack, and then your buddy could play the game whenever they wanted without using your disc. This was many people’s first intro to piracy. Obviously game publishers hated this, and constantly played whack-a-mole to shut them down. On the data preservation and user friendliness side of things, NoDisc cracks were popular because they allowed you to play your games without digging through your giant book of CD’s. It also meant you weren’t locked out of a game just because your little sibling scratched your CD.\n\nWhen transitioning to digital sales, the disc requirement obviously won’t work. You can’t require a disc when the user never actually received a disc. So the game publishers had to remove the disc requirement when they put their game up for sale on Steam. And this is showing that in the official Steam release, a pirate’s signature is found. They simply used a NoDisc crack (from one of the crackers that they had constantly been battling) on their own game, to remove the disc requirement. Instead of finding an “official” way to do it, they just used the most straightforward route.\n\nAnd yet game publishers still constantly harp about piracy.","removed":false,"published":"2023-09-06T19:26:08.086031Z","updated":"2023-09-06T19:29:03.883417Z","deleted":false,"ap_id":"https://reddthat.com/comment/2557149","local":false,"path":"0.2563351.2588669","distinguished":false,"language_id":37},"creator":{"id":743331,"name":"Mic_Check_One_Two","banned":false,"published":"2023-07-03T18:29:01.695015Z","actor_id":"https://reddthat.com/u/Mic_Check_One_Two","local":false,"deleted":false,"bot_account":false,"instance_id":77798},"post":{"id":2657322,"name":"Rockstar is selling cracked game copies on steam.","url":"https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/359fbe16-4ac4-43ee-847d-a8f5d4fed00d.png","creator_id":945882,"community_id":8440,"removed":false,"locked":false,"published":"2023-09-05T17:27:45.034699Z","deleted":false,"nsfw":false,"thumbnail_url":"https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/37efd8ca-bcf9-408d-a2e9-d6c4d6b083e0.png","ap_id":"https://lemmy.world/post/4502893","local":false,"language_id":37,"featured_community":false,"featured_local":false},"community":{"id":8440,"name":"crackwatch","title":"CrackWatch","description":"**IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS FORUM, PLEASE READ THIS POST >>>>[The Beginner's Guide](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/2768)<<<< IT WILL TAKE 2 MINUTES MAX, AND IT WILL ANSWER MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS**\n\nWelcome to CrackWatch, a piracy news forum dedicated to informing the public about the latest cracks and bypasses.\n\nTo get live announcements of the latest releases, follow our [Twitter](https://twitter.com/realcrackwatch) \n\nRules\n\n>1.
