Wizardry 8, what's with the cracks

[Richardf269]

I own the original. I just said it was too scratched to use it. From your "short" description, "owning" it versus being "usable" are 2 different definitions.

Edit: Guess your rules are full of shit then. It says I can get help if I own the original, but not if it's unusable? What kind of contradictory bullshit is this? Your rules are messed up. I'm not buying another cd just to play the game when I already bought it.

Also, you should fix the "no cd-crack" for Wizardry 8, since it obviously doesn't work. It's supposed to take away the cd-check (which means no image of said game, or having to put in the cd), which the crack for this game doesn't even do in the first place. I suggest finding a replacement.

Try reading the rules...if the disk is warped, scratched etc read the faq, if all fails then contact the publisher for a replacment...

Try and be a bit more civil too...if you dont like the rules or how the forum is run, feel free to leave
as for fixing the crack..if you had a brain, used it and perhaps searched a bit on the forum you would see that gcw hosts the cracks...yes HOST not MAKE, can you actually crack? guessing not cos you are looking for a crack for a game... Try using a little humility..i would have helped (i can crack), but given your attitude you can forget any help i normally would have offered

oh and owning and usable ARE two seperate words with different meanings, and if you want to be a pedantic prick, you dont own the game, you purchase a license to use it...

One last thing..blind guess..american right?

Your rules are contradictory (and absolutely full of shit) for these specified reasons:

I own the original cd, yet it is too scratched up to be usable, yet it's considered a "ware" because it's scratched? The cd's too scratched up to even read in the cd-rom, yet I still own the original. It doesn't matter if it's usable or not, I still own it. (and I mean "own", as in it's in my posession, not someone elses.) Therefore, your rules are bullshit at worst, and hypocritical at best.

I'm not buying a second copy of a game just because it's unusable and I have a cd-image that installs the game just fine (and no, I sure as hell am not going to prove to you I own the damn cd just because you think I'm pirating it).

I never said that gcw made the crack. I said the cd-crack isn't working. It needs to be replaced with a cd-crack that works. CD-cracks are made as a work-around the cd-check, and therefore the cd isn't needed to run the game. The crack for Wizardry 8 obviously isn't working. Neither for 1.0 or 1.2.4. I've tried both. This is the only game that I've cracked within the last 3 or 4 years that hasn't had any problems working.

And 3rdly, I don't have any money to replace the cd from the company who made the cd. Even if I did, I still wouldn't in the first place, they'd just make me pay for it. I only pay for a CD ONCE, not more, and if the companies don't like it, then they can get lost. They're around to make money off of the people who want the game, not for themselves. EA Games and Blizzard Entertainment are the perfect examples of this, by the way (seeing as they've both turned into a well used toilet that hasn't been flushed in 5 years).

Yes, I'm American, and if I lived in the Netherlands for instance, the government, from what I've been told, doesn't give 2 shits about the internet all that much, but since the U.S is so full of corrupt idiots, I have to crack most of my games because I refuse to put my stupid cd into my drive for every game I own. So I honestly don't give a shit about "rules" on a website. And if the place has a problem with it, then GCW shouldn't even exist in the first place, seeing as how in "America", cd-cracks are illegal.

Edit: I finally managed to get it to work. Had someone else just give me a cracked .exe that works. Bye now.

Lets get a few things straight ....

You have never 'owned' the disc, you have owned the license to play the game using the 'original' disc.
(Ever read an EULA?)

You have not 'cracked' anything, you have only swapped a file. People like 'Tippex' actually make cracks, or know how to crack files. But as far as I am aware Tippex did not make the cracks for this game.

in "America", cd-cracks are illegal

... then maybe you shouldn't be here looking for cracks.

It always makes me laugh when I hear people say they dont have money for this and that yet they own a PC and can afford an Internet connection.

Going on to a public forum ranting and abusing people will in most cases get you no-where.
There are many people here who would have been willing to help you with your problem, people like Tippex who has the knowledge and expertise to crack files. But when they see the attitude you display why would they give their time, which they are not paid for, to help you?

and if the companies don't like it, then they can get lost.

Same applies with our rules, if you dont like them then heed your own advice.

I'm glad you finally managed to 'crack the game yourself'. Lets just hope you learnt something from your experiences.

You are an idiot. You come to a forum, ask for help, get a gentle (!) reminder about the forum rules and, simply because you don't like the rules, you start throwing shit at everyone you come across. This proves that you didn't give a shit about the forum in the first place, all your "contribution" to it was demanding a solution for your problem. People who are not willing to give, only get, are not welcome on any forum, they're only tolerated if they show, at least, some kind of respect to other forum members, e.g. the ones who help him. But downright disrespect against the forum itself won't get you very far, to put it mildly.

As for the hypocrisy accusation, you clearly have absolutely no idea about the evolution of our rules and I'm not going to explain it to you because you - see above - wouldn't be interested anyway. By the way, if you had looked at our "Location", you might have realized that we, moderators, are not (all) U.S. citizens - actually, far away from that country which, I agree, is full of corrupt idiots.

So, now away with you. I'm not vindictive - life is too short to clash with people and spend your time hating them - so, in case you understand that you were wrong about this, send me an E-mail and I'll reactive your account as well as delete these posts so you can start again from scratch.
