How Are Computer Games ‘Cracked’?
In 2014, it was estimated that video game piracy accounted for $74 billion in lost revenue for software companies. In 2012, Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot famously said that 93%-95% of worldwide PC players pirate their games. These numbers are staggering and leave a huge hole in gaming companies’ pockets. This piracy is largely facilitated by the rampant use of certain torrent websites. Although many of these websites are facing litigation, their prevalent use ensures the distribution of the pirated software.
The files downloaded from these websites usually contain some kind of “crack” that enabled people to bypass the security checks made by the company and use the game for free. No special software knowledge is needed to crack these games. The cracks are usually straightforward and get the work done in just a few clicks, making people feel like hackers!
What exactly goes on behind the scenes that makes it so easy to “crack” computer games? Before jumping into the methods of cracking, we must first understand the tools used to do that.
