Well, not used to reply this kind of topics, but it is funny how some users fucks off others "work".

1.- As some users stated above, cracks are not intended to general public. To a cracker, there is nothing but a crap, that many cracks reaches final public. It is not intended to, but internet is so big, so, there is always "someone" that "leaks" release. There was and there is a "scene" tip: "From scene members to scene members", or another way to understand: Only to ppl who deserves it.

2.- About "quality", just a thing: Ja!, and it is already known i do not like some RlD guys (from a long time now). In fact, Yates, the SecuROMs author (in the past a very good scene cracker) knows so much how he is doing, and how most actual crackers work, so he tries to avoid it. Ah, forgot to mention the direct "dialog" between Yates and scene, compressing poesy (real poesy) in crypted VM. It is somehow a race, and a dialog between. There are many ways a file can be compressed, and also protected, and SecuROM is right now (as solidshield), the most effective.
Most times fixes are just a dump, but i asure u many little ppl out there know how to really crack fully a securom executable. Dumping is the easiest.

3.- Cracks usually are tested by many ppl and in different machines till "release" is done, usually by "third" ppl.

4.- Sometimes i see ppl here requesting for a crack. Consider this, most times that requested file is already done and cracked, but does not leaves the scene influence, because authors doesnt want to do so, to avoid:
a) Other ppl to take merits they dont deserves
b)Dont want publisher/prot author to know how file was unprotected
c)File is buggy or in study progress (mostly solidshield)
d) Examples: Aggression: reign over europe (Solidshield), Dimensity (Solidshield), Mysims (Securom; this last finally "released" by me with permission of TrV)

5.- So, if u get a RlD file and got dissapointed, well, dont use RlD files anymore. RlD have got tons of critics for most of this Christmas cracks launching messages, but it did because something (because was "forced to").

I think it is enough for now, hope wont need to reply here more, and sorry for english, not my strong... ^^

Enjoy, CdS
