Hello all, First of all, as you may know, nothing is uncrackable. As you said in the earlier posts, its quite disappointing, in the developer's point of view, after the hard work, now somebody cracked it and sharing the crack. If this happens with us, i hope it won't, that we discover that someone cracks one of our games (i know, no registerable game yet), we should take serious steps (like Che and Thomas), but it may won't be successful. Personally, i don't think so that a company should just stop developing games because of a few person, who are using it for free. What about the others who are really enjoying the game, and would like to see more games, but now they won't, just because of a cracker? So, personally, i'd begin the long, endless fight against crackers, with the knowledge, that someone keeps ruining my hard efforts. Yes, true, but the audiogames market is really, really small, so even if one developer stops producing games would be crytical. Of course, there will be a few people who will use a cracked version, but someone who really enjoys the game, will buy it, just because of respecting the developer(s) work. Maybe one good thing, if they're cracking a game, its possible that the game is awesome? I know this is not true in most cases, but usually they're cracking something because the product has a good quality. Very little thing, but still the best thing which can come out of that. Rob

Like Che if I discover allot of my commercial games wind up as cracked software I will either increase my security system, or not offer my services any longer. I'd just be as happy writing hgames for my own pleasure than allowing little ratts crack my hard work. kerry wrote: > hate to say this, but shades of doom is not the only one. there is pipe 2, > tank commander, hunter, and a hole lot more. just to name a few. the stupid > thing with these games is, you can't post to the site. or maybe you could? > not sure. never tried them. but I saw the game and was shocked to see > people actually got those games cracked. > it's flying around the blind community like a bug. and landing on computers. > this is not going to be easy to stop. the person started by, posting this to > a e-mail list. with a hole bunch of cracks. don't really like cracks. it's > the game or nothing. anyway, I also asked some one, what is the name of the > tool being used to crack these games.
