People keep misunderstanding why this is huge deal.
Obv razor is not going to file suit for copyright, that’s just dumb, but the big news is that they are using a cracked version and selling it as a legitimate one. This means they somewhat approve of the crack in the game in that fashion. That is surreal and also proves a bunch of arguments against DRM. That is the real news here.
This isn’t really news. It’s likely a result of a cost benefit analysis combined with c-suite direction. It’s really not that big of a deal at all. It’s like Nintendo being criticised. What a colossal waste of energy to care.
If it’s through steam then there are receipts about what binaries where installed; and at the end of the day it’s legally their game so if they sell it then it is automatically legit.
This is also why Nintendo feels they can sell emulators they didn’t write with the Mini consoles and the VC & Nintendo Online…

Feels like there should be class action lawsuits for the people who purchased what they thought were legit copies of the game.

Could you elaborate more on the Nintendo issue?
I know nintendo has come down HARD on game modding. Even for games that are decades out of circulation.
Can you expand on the whole emulator thing?
It’s like how the “You wouldn’t download a car” video has pirated music in it.
That’s just an internet myth that everyone wants to be true.
It was a completely different obscure anti-piracy commercial.

No it doesn’t lol
“We absolutely disapprove of cracks! Here, buy this cracked game.”
Well I know it makes sense in corpo-world, just not in a world that runs on logic and common sense.
It just means someone was lazy and hoping nobody would notice, it says absolutely nothing about how much they approve of it lol
Both could be true, such is the nature of speculation.
What does it prove and how? It just seems like they are being lazy.
At the very least it’s tacit agreement that cracks are an important part of digital preservation.
