why cracking lame games?

hey there , i beleive some of you especially the crackrs wan't like my topic but i hardly can understand how decent groups cracking such lame "new" games , that some of them made on basic (or look it..), especially previews or unfinshed games. i understand the desire to crack and to continue the good old cracking scene (thats important and i support it) but for god sake the intros look much better than the games , only a few looks decent like POP 3 but the rest (as much as i saw lately) are really poor . i feel uncomfortable with this cracking.

Yeah, true....but I'd rather see more lame releases, than watch all releases dwindle down, until finally years from now -- nothing.

Now I see the "nerdy" babyish behavior Mr. Mouse was talking about -- arrogant blowhards who would rather wave their dick in your face than give a bit of encouragement. You people walk a difficult and lonely path.

Quote: Look, there is no point at all to crack any game on the c64 in 2012. Period. Not lame ones, not cool ones. It's a pointless effort. It's a rediculous activity to be carried out by any grown man at the age of 40. It won't save the world, nobody ever cares about it (discounting us sceners, which likewise nobody in the world cares about), there is absolutely no market of consequence for it, and in the eyes of sane persons, it's a very nerdy and lame thing to do.

Still, so what? Games were made for cracking. So they get cracked. Beware, any game out there that still hasn't been cracked.

One thing that does concern me (not really) is whether all these cracks are actually cracks, or just the original game with an intro tagged in front of it. The art of cracking should be to do the almost but not ever nearly impossible. Make it run without needing the original. Linking an intro to a game that will run fine without the intro is not a crack.


Haha.. but you mean that you posting here, on a C64 scene forum, at the age of 40 in 2012 is something different than a pointless effort? No offence ;)

As long as we are interested in the scene and the C64, then the cracking of games is also interesting. No matter how old you are. Period.

As a matter of fact, now I think about it, this whole thread is 100% pointless. So crack on.

Everything is pointless. Time ticks, you decay and die. Everything you do is obsolete in the core. You're done good or bad, you won't benefit on the long run because there is no long run as such. So what is the point of anything at all?

The scene was built on cracking games on a big part and now it is a starving beast that jumps on anything that moves. Law of nature. It is like a field with some trees, a dosen of zebras and a thousand lions.

@Mr. Mouse: It's 2012, there are no more and less important C64 releases anymore. Anything people produce on C64 these days is not less pointless than your statistics you released some time ago. There is no point at all, but I respect your work went into it. All you can do is to have some respect for the efforts burned on the obsolete. You're a high IQ guy and proven yourself many times - so what the hell is this low attitude, man? Don't be so disappointing.

Darn, people, take it easy. Some sarcasm here and there, and now you expect me to behave my IQ? Get a grip. I'm disappointing? Like...er...what?! I'm clearly one of those pointless persons spending a lot of pointless time pointlessly in the occasional pointless c64 release, like pointless tunes, pointless old fixes, pointless other platform tools and pointless CSDb statistics. So I would have thought my pointless sarcasm would be clear to all. And I've explained so in the rest of the thread as well. But that effort was apparently pointless. =)

Aye, I think I pointlessly misunderstood the pointlessness of the point somewhere.

Aw... Hell. Let's have a beer :)
