this isn’t about anything specific, this is just a general question.

i always assumed that multiplayer wouldn’t work on pirated copies of games, or at most you’d have to play on specially configured servers. but the other day i saw a thread about a game where online multiplayer works even with pirated copies, and now i’m curious about how often that happens.

i understand that every game is different, and i want to know: what are your experiences with online multiplayer in pirated games?

Online multiplayer can work if it supports LAN play.

You can set up a session with Hamachi. I’ve done it with Borderlands 3 and Divinity OS 2.

Hamachi is the worst. better setup a proper VPN

Its not that it wont “work” but it is anything but secure your better of port forwarding and open it straight to the internet.

That’s completely false.

Letting users in too your entire device and potently your LAN is worse then giving access to a single service.

Yu-Gi-Oh used to be popular with Hamashi
