There has been probably a leak from Psytronik side and this seems to be happening quite often now. Hope Kenz will explain this and how this version got even released, since it wasn't the final one.

It seems Psytronik put it out for sale at midnight, Wanax (even if ons must have had it before that if you look at what has been done in their version). I would say you talk to Psytronik, as it seems they (or someone else involved in the game making) 1. leaked, 2. are selling your unfinished game. Just my 5c.

Are you asking why crackers are allowed to be crackers? :D
They are even fine enough to not leave the link publicly visible, what do you want more.

How do you guys have this, if the coder is still working on it? Are you having access to files you shouldn't have and if that's the case, who's allowing this? |

Quote: hey Wanax.
first of all thanks for spending your spare time in coding cool games!!!
what happened should not bother you that much: you do a game, it gets introlinked, it doesn't matter if game is great or shitty... sad but true.
only solution: add a copy-protection!! :P
I think Dr.Strange pointed out the problem, which is not that the game was cracked. The question was how crackers was able to get the unfinished game long before Psytronik released it (too soon it seems), without the coder's involvement. That is of course a question that Wanax and Psytronik have to deal with. Kenz seems to avoid that question in public, which might be understandable. |

Somehow reminds me of the discussion about Honey Bee +3D [sales version] ;)
BTW. Copy protection just delays the release a bit. |

Nah. Big difference. We actually bought and got the game from Psy. |

Yeah Wanax, don't worry - cracks are anyway only for folks you are too dumb to play w/o trainers, like me - but that doesn't prevent me from buying the original.
And the leakage, while annoying, could be seen as a compliment as well - they wanna play the game so hard that they even accept a buggy beta. :) |

This once is over so...Unfortunately :-)
It has already happened with Akalabeth World of Doom a similar thing... But I did not expect with Psytronik.
I hope to have more luck the next time :-)

a proper protection would require actual crackers to get active again though :) |

A 2017 release with proper copy protection would be *awesome* :) |

I don't think the copy protection is the issue here. If you are getting stuff in advance from the software house with all indications, there's no challenge. And that's the real problem. |
