I don't buy this. It's easy to upload files anonymously.

Yeah but why take that risk? They don’t really gain anything.

[-] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

They can't gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it

[-] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Once again, why would they share their cracks if its for personal use?

[-] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?

[-] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Mods and open source software are not illegal.

You're missing the point I've made completely.

[-] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

My point is that a contributor to open source software can contribute just to help people because they don’t have to worry about legal repercussions.

[-] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Being anonymous isn't incompatible with helping people

[-] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

The point I’m trying to make is some people don’t want risk getting raided by the fbi just to give people free games
