Dude, that's the biggest load of crap and you know it. That's what everyone tells themselves so they sleep better at night and seem like some self-righteous Robin Hoods to the public. You pirate because you don't want to pay for it. People don't buy something, then go out of their way to potentially get a bit of illegal virus/malware induced "DRM-Free version". I was a teen back during Napster and Limewire days... goddamn it I'm old... You pirate because you don't want to pay for it. Stop acting like it's some great public service, saving the world, doing-the-right-thing cause. The folks that do the actual cracking, again, I actually respect for the skills. That kind of stuff is a real fun hobby. They share their work as a way to showoff. However, it's the users that get free-rides who I think are just ridiculous and delusional. "Oh, I pirate games as a political statement for anti-DRM because DRM is soooooo much worse on machines, and, and capitalism bad." Yea... okay. Everything I have is DRM-filth and I never noticed.

I don't really know what to tell you except you're wrong. People do what I claimed all the time, you just ignore it happens. > You pirate because you don't want to pay for it. I don't pirate games. > Oh, I pirate games as a political statement for anti-DRM because DRM is soooooo much worse on machines, and, and capitalism bad. Nice strawman there. Please try arguing about what was actually said, instead of trying to start a flame war. Thanks.

Anecdotally I own both a legal and a cracked copy of GTAV. The legal copy was nice in the first year the game came out and I wanted access to all features, so I grimaced and put up with the bloatware required to actually log in to the game and play it. Then I got bored, uninstalled it and didn't play it for a few years. Recently I got a hankering to play it once more and shuddered at the memory of all the intrusive software bloat, as well as the toxic online community centrer around aggressive play. So I went with the crack (hassle-free and self-contained in a single directory) and joined a FiveM online server for multiplayer play, and the experience was painless, enjoyable even.
