Re: Why Must People Crack Games
From my experience as a software developer working on a popular DRM system until I lost my vision.
Most crackers do it simply for the challenge of seeing if they can do it. Reverse engineering is by no means an easy tasks regardless of what tools you might have available to help you, it takes a lot of knowledge and skill to be even half way successful at it.
The people who go around looking for cracked programs are another matter entirely. For whatever reasons that seem good to them, they've decided that they don't care a whit about the developer and simply want their product at no cost to them, in other words, they've decided to steal it.
Before 2002, I used to be one of those people, none of my software was paid for. Then in 2002, I don't recall what happened or why I changed, but I started going through all of my software and considering, am I willing to pay for this program or not? If I was, it went on my list of programs to buy, if I decided no, it was removed and deleted. Then over the next year or two, as I could afford to I bought every program on the to buy list.
Now a days, the only programs I have that I haven't paid for are either free or a trial version.
