*Quality* of PC fixed exe's

[infovs]

@nando2002
You're missing the point completely. And do not offend me by giving me advice how to be a parent as this is a subject you obviously do not know nothing about...I was simply trying to elaborate why fixed exe can sometimes be useful. Everybody has their own reason..

Anyway, you're totally wrong. There ARE perfect cracks...cracks that are done properly and do not crash till the end of the game, simple as that. (I'm not talking about crashing because there are bugs in game, that is to be expected..)

The point is - some cracks from certain cracking groups are done bad and the problem is that problems are not apparent straight away. They should learn to defeat protection and then release exe rather than misleading people to believe they could play the game without NOCD when, infact - they can't...because game will crash somewhere during the play.

@infovs: You are missing the point completely, although this particular point is not obvious at all. Crackers do their stuff for kind of showing off; the fact that you, the "end user", actually get access to them is only a side effect. But, however talented these crackers are, they also make mistakes and, because of the war/race nando2002 mentioned, they have little time to finish their work. It has always been like that only, with the advent of sophisticated and tricky copy protections a few years ago, it became more apparent.

Also, there's a saying that, interestingly, exists in Hungarian as well as English: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

You are still looking the gifted horse in the mouth.

The cracks are not made for the end user, therefor, you are not really entitled to complain. Sure you can, since it's mostly a free world, but nobody in the scene asks for, or care about the end users oppinion.

If you can't do it better yourself, but still have demands about how it should be, you are just making up wishes, and if you are making up wishes, you might as well wish that copy protection never existed at all. It still doesn't make it so.

If you want to take it one step further, wish for world peach, no more hunger, etc etc...

In one word: communism. I've been preaching that for years...
