Possible Pirating of Lugaru
Well, I recently bought it.
Not only because it's a kickassradsupercool game, but I want to give money to support David.
Pirating of games make me mad. I feel pretty good knowing that I buy my entertainment. And at the same time supporting some person that is working he's ass off, just to entertain other people.
Keep up the good work David! I can't wait for Lugaru 2!

What about having a serial key being generated AND read based on your computer specs. MAC address or whatever it's called, and diverse mobo information. However you do it. And if you upgrade your puter, all you have to do to upgrade the register code is to submit it to a register converter that's on your user account which is locked to the game's cd-key which is NOT the serial key.
Wait, never mind, that idea sucked.

There's basically no possible way to prevent a game from being "cracked". 3ds MAX DOES have a pretty funny system, but if you really wanted to, it's crackable. Same with Maya.
But think about this, a lot of the time, people will download the cracked game, and then if they really really like it, will actually go out and buy the full version. A lot of the time the games on the mass market are actually quite bad, full of bugs, unplayable. If you have downloaded an illegal version of the game you can see for yourself just what it plays like.
And as to the above persons idea, it's been done on a few games before.
Half-Life 2 was cracked by my friend(He owns the game, we did it to see if it was possible) and it took a while, but it was fun. Didn't release how he did it or anything. Still, I think that you should always buy the game if you are able. Cracks that allow you to play without the CD are useful however, because I've had some of my CD's smashed in the past. If I was using a crack it wouldn't matter. As it stands, I have to go and buy a new game disk.

Rent before buy. That's how I do it. It's faster and more reliable.Saranalos wrote: But think about this, a lot of the time, people will download the cracked game, and then if they really really like it, will actually go out and buy the full version.

Yeah, right... Why do you say that? It's not believable at all. Doesn't support your point.Half-Life 2 was cracked by my friend(He owns the game, we did it to see if it was possible) and it took a while, but it was fun.
No, that's not correct. You can always replace your disk by sending the broken one to the address in the manual and get a new one for a small fee. I did that with a number of games.Cracks that allow you to play without the CD are useful however, because I've had some of my CD's smashed in the past. If I was using a crack it wouldn't matter.

I've used no-cd/dvd cracks because I'm lazy.rudel_ic wrote:...for a small fee.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
I honestly don't believe your friend cracked HL2, Saranalos.
Steam is extremely secure.
Sometimes Steam games get cracked (at least they did I think), but it gets fixed in a matter of days
and users using the cracks get banned.
I never asked you to believe it. I just said he'd done it, for FUN... Not for helping people use and play illegal games. Therefore it was not "fixed". Nor can it ever be, since it was done privately and never released for public usage. The only way you can "crack" it forever is to get rid of all the commands that ask for a steam verification. Steam IS very secure, it's good.Yeah, right... Why do you say that? It's not believable at all. Doesn't support your point.
I have done this, but they merely told me it was my own fault. Again, you're much more likely to scratch, break or damage your CD if you need to take it out every time you use it. And why should you pay yet another amount, however nominal to the publisher from which you bought the game? You've already bought it. Anyhow, I think you've read my entire point wrongly. You have also admitted to using cracks, which is illegal and on most discussion boards you'd be banned for that.No, that's not correct. You can always replace your disk by sending the broken one to the address in the manual and get a new one for a small fee. I did that with a number of games.
They allow you to rent PC games? What country do you live in where this is allowed? I want to move there. Normally they will rent Playstation and Xbox games, but never ever PC games.Rent before buy. That's how I do it. It's faster and more reliable.
If renting PC games was done here, I'd be a huge user of it. However, game publishers and shops do not do it, because they assume you will "crack" the game.

That's just a very small part of the process and not even necessary.The only way you can "crack" it forever is to get rid of all the commands that ask for a steam verification.
Anyway, whether you did it or not I don't want to discuss because I can't tell. I just said that it's not believable, and you should understand that very well if you know someone who did that. It's so hard that if you posted that statement on more popular boards of that genre, everyone would laugh at you even if you were a proven cracker.
No, it's not illegal. At least not in my country. And that I definitely know.You have also admitted to using cracks, which is illegal and on most discussion boards you'd be banned for that.
Yes.They allow you to rent PC games?
Edit: Check this out. That's not the way I'm doing it, but it should work for you!
