I think it’s more likely that there are others who don’t publicly share their cracks because they doesn’t want legal trouble/attention.

[–] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I don't buy this. It's easy to upload files anonymously.

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Yeah but why take that risk? They don’t really gain anything.

[–] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They can't gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Once again, why would they share their cracks if its for personal use?

[–] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mods and open source software are not illegal.

You're missing the point I've made completely.

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My point is that a contributor to open source software can contribute just to help people because they don’t have to worry about legal repercussions.

[–] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Being anonymous isn't incompatible with helping people

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

The point I’m trying to make is some people don’t want risk getting raided by the fbi just to give people free games
