Maybe the reality is just trivial: modern games are just more difficult to crack. I think that the OP suggestion, to look in other motivations, such as what kind of monetary retributions could exist, is a good one. Furthermore I see that some crackers still crack and realese updates of games even long after the first version of the game has come out, even years after that. Maybe there are other channels other than the game itself. I don't see these crackintros in modern games anymore, the only messages from crackers are in very uncospicuous txt files.īut I really don't know, maybe the real scene is happening behind closed doors and crackers don't want/need to make it public like in the past, although this seems contradictory to the narcissistic aspect. This was obvious in the past, in particular in the '80 and '90 (just watch to the messages in the ubiquitous crackintro that accompanied the cracked games), although this aspect seems faded in the years. It is true that one of the main drivel of the cracking scene is the narcisisstic aspect to be better/faster than the others. Indeed I was a bit sarcastic in my comment (note the "It's better to wait a few years") criticizing the broken state of the gaming industry, more than trying to explain the motivation of crackers.
