±12 Stop cracking games!
±13------------------------------------
±12by Dolphin/Stone Arts
±11This is an attempt to make some guys
understand a very important thing.
Cracking games is killing the Amiga's
future. I think the people who crack
games are aware of this, but they
don't seem to care.
Where have all the quality games for
Amiga gone? Only a few years ago
there were made a lot more quality
games than today. I mean, why should
software firms make games for Amiga,
when their games are cracked the
minute they hit the marked. Instead,
they move over to the console
business. There they make a lot more
money. Cracking is rather small or
practicly non-existing. There are
diskdrives available for e.g Nintendo
consoles, which copies the console
ram, but many games have a
save-funtion (in an additional chip)
which is impossible to copy...
Now, the really big problem is when
you get your hands on a cracked
quality game (Monkey Island for
instance) months before it's released
in the shops. The best way to deal
with this is to check out the game,
if you really like it, you should
consider buying the original.
When every singel software firm has
left the Amiga in favour for the
consoles, or the PC marked, the Amiga
hardware firms will shrink. This
will again result in fewer Amiga's
being sold. Commodore will get
bankrupt and the scene will die.
So, I ask myself, is it worth it? Of
course it isn't! Are crackers
cracking games for money, by selling
copies to lamers or is it just the
thrill of beating yet another
copy-protection? If it's the last
mentioned reason, I think they should
start coding demos instead.
±13Stop cracking, let the Amiga live!!!
