These were called no cd cracks! These are still invaluable for a lot of older games. All they'd need to do to crack it was remove the cd check. It used to be simple, there was a part of the exe file for a game that would check the cd was in the drive. Then its something called reverse engineering. So how do they get the games to crack em? Honestly? Probably just buy them and download them from steam.
#How to make a no cd crack for pc games cracked#
Not unheard of, FFXV was cracked before release because the demo exe had files they used, but for everything else it is often 3 months. This means day 0 on PC is pretty rare now.
or b) when they do have the files on the disc or predownloaded, they often are missing a key to unlock the files. The gamestop employee can just get the download code - not useful and very easy to trace that its been stolen. What PC games, especially on steam will do is either a) not ship the CD physically. And then you have Steam and online and blah blah. Whereas consoles tend to try and lock their console and leave their games unprotected, for PCs its often the other way around.
Someone works at gamestop and literally took a disc.įor PC it gets more complicated. In fact, if you pirate on console you'll find those games are often out before the game itself. In the early 2000s cracking groups would have people lift games from deliveries to their gamestop store. We won't go into it, but one of the most valued positions within a cracker group was often the person who could get access to games. There's actually an awesome history of cracking groups.
