    Never understood the hurry of the crack groups.

    You serious?

    Obviously the sooner they crack it the sooner they can sell to impatient pirates. The market is only going to decrease over time, and if you’re beaten to the punch you lose out on loads of customers.

      Lol pirates by definition don’t pay for software, there’s no profit in developing cracks beyond cred.

      Paying for a pirated game? If I wanted to pay for it, I wouldn’t be looking into pirating it in the first place.

      I also would not pirate anything at all because it’s illegal and I’m only speaking hypothetically.

      Lol, no, pirates dont pay for anything. The cracking community is almost entirely clout based, its just for the bragging rights of being the smartest programmer out there.

      Empress is an anomaly, and I dont actually think shes ever been paid her obnoxious “fee.” And even she is only claiming a fee for the clout, as a way to say “no one else can do what I do so its pay up or fuck off”
