I've never known the GOG staff to be so involved in our tedium. You've been hired to babysit us since the soft hentai thread, right?

There's soft hentai thread? WHERE IS IT!? Err, I mean, my dog wants to see it.

Well, I'm not going to link to it but you will have no trouble identifying it. It's the only thread to have ever been locked ever.

But ... But. ... Awwwww. See, my dog? You are out of luck.

drm or no drm its basically your choice where and how you get the games if you are ok with drm and copy protections get the retail versions. If you want to avoid them get them digitally still you will be tied to at least one form of drm in case of steam or any other digital distribution[ie you need to make an account online to download the game or play it]

There are no security risks from cracks.

There are no problems with using cracks.

Cracks are perfectly OK and anyone who makes a fuss about it is probably a paranoid gun holder.

As opposed to a dodgy pipe holder.

Actually no it isn't. UK_John earned that questionable privlidge back in the early days of GOG (page 307 currently). Thanks to that topic (and others he posted or posted in back then) he also earned the questionable reputation of being first to achieve negative reputation (around -20 to -30) simultaneously proving that it exists. This all happened in the good old days sonny, so you probably were too young to remember ;-).

I don't mind you advising I use another more secure operating system, are the linux ports finished yet? If not what are you going to sell me when I switch?

My thoughts on this topic are that I believe cracks are safe BUT I personally wouldn't bet my business on it.

*sigh*



You realise that the 'third party' cracks they used will have been checked out thoroughly, right?

You also realise that there's no difference between a crack done for the purposes of enabling piracy and a crack done by the publisher or done by GOG themselves, right?

They would have done exactly the same thing that the hackers did.

Ah, GoG is like a security blanket. That warm fuzzy feeling, knowing that there's still a retailer out there that might give a hang about their consumers. On a side note, it is so incredibly good to see blue text now and then.

Look if there's still function calls in a program to the DRM subroutines, but the subroutines all say "return true;" that's DRM free in my book. As always it depends what was done, but if a GOG game ever installed an old copy of SecuROM, no matter how impotent it was, you can bet we'd be hearing about it (and so would they).
Ah, *sniff*, someone cares...:)

Yeah, I love my gaming rig, but it's the only Windows rig I have left (unless you count the 360, I suppose).

Paranoid gun owners are really swingy, and hard to balance. Can lead to a hilarious Night 1, though.

Of course! ;)

It also reminds me of one of the most hilarious nights I've seen. It's Night 0, so before the first day phase. In these situations it is pretty much accepted that any vigs should hold their fire, as they can only fire blindly, and have poor odds of hitting scum.
The vig in this situation decides to screw conventional thinking and goes ahead and shoots. There is also a motivatior involved (motivators give their target an extra night action), he of course manages to motivate the vig. "Sweet! Another chance" he goes.

And on Day 1 the town wakes up with their Cop and Motivator dead.
