okay, i think you know who i am... if not pm me, i know for a fact at least 2 of the big teams about oh 2-3 years ago WERE selling slots on ftp sites, WERE paying crackers with laptops and hardware, WERE selling cracks and 'releases' before they were even pre'd... and theres numerous reports of this in the scene, and the the police / fbi / whatnot evidence PROVES this fact... and made a lot of money out of it...
lets do the math.. one team i was in.. and im sure most of you will probably know it (and/or used at least one of the cracks i did)... cracks were sold like this...
safedisc / securom were $200 (i saw this in police reports), starforce and/or custom shit $250, pre-pre releases sold from $3000 upwards depending on the 'expected' popularity of the game, crackers might not have seen the money sure (some definately did, and bragged about it).. 800+ releases.. adds up to a nice little sum... which incidentally, i saw nothing of.. didnt make a penny
In hindsight i wish i never joined the scene, i wish i just cracked the stuff for myself... infact, i wish a lot of things... mostly that what happened never did happen...
so please, lets take the blinkers off....
