Post Game devs using cracks for digital distribution.
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/DRM-Myth- ... 33460.html

Quote:
A Steam member who recently purchased a digital copy of Max Payne 2 discovered that Rockstar uploaded a version modified by the pirating outfit Myth. The discovery was made after loading up the game's executable with a HEX editor and finding Myth's ASCII logo inserted into the code.


Quote:
...Eventually it was discovered that the Ubisoft "fix" was actually a no-CD crack supplied by Scene group RELOADED.


Anyone else feels the irony behind this.

what would be even more ironic is if the cracker groups sued the developer for copyright violations for using their code without permission. :roll:
