Question about point of game crack+fix for you all

[petergriffin]

First off, let me say i am guilty of downloading games (hopefully that won't get me banned because this is not related to actually playing a game illegially) I only download gamefix to play without paying... of course for some games after i try it and find it fun and i want to play online, i'll go out and buy the game.

But it seems like most of you who do post here do actually buy the original game in order to play. My question is, what's the point of doing all these coding, game fix if you already got the game? If you already got the cd is it so hard to put it into the cdrom before playing? So why crack? for the pure enjoyment of cracking? Or do you all throw away the game cd after you buy it?

appreciate your answer.

the point of not having to put the cd in the drive is so you don't have to mess with it. for one thing it's convienient, and for two the cd doesn't get handled as much, thus less scratches in case I ever need to re-install the game. However, I do hope you get banned from here because you obviouslly don't support the game manufactures. So buy it or don't play it.

scums like me huh? well in defense to myself and my wallet the problem with most games is I get tired of them very quick. I enjoy them for first few hours or days then i get tired of it. I do buy games which i think i'll enjoy and get my money's worth. (BTW, it would be very unprofessional to ban me because I am not talking about the act of downloading itself, just my opinion towards it. You could very well get banned because you too, ARE talking about the same subject)

I know and i admit it's wrong and i don't encourage anyone to do it. If you still wish to flame me, i wanna ask have you EVER downloaded free music, or litter at anyone point in your life. More power to you if you are a saint, you may proceed to heaven.

seriously? putting cd in drives? the manual labour involved must be killer... so you are telling me making image/downloading crack, using alcohol 120% etc.. is more convienient then taking out the cd and putting them in your drive?
Honestly, if putting cd in drive and using them will damages the CD to a point where it's unusable or becomes defective, I am GLAD i don't pay for them. (and when i do, i take good care of them as instructed so there shouldn't be any problems)

So i reckon there might be more reasons for you guys to be doing this? I am just curious because i am an outsider looking in.

I hope you get banned - Whether you like it or not, downloading a game for any purpose is WAREZ!
You also have not considered the fact that some of us need NOCD's to play games properly- 99% of the time, copy protection is not correctly emulated by WINE in Linux. (I know Cedega claims to do this, but I'm cheap )

@petergriffin:
It is absolutely all the same to me whether you download or buy games, but DON'T come here and risk the "survive" of FileForums.
