AO-Rated Manhunt 2 Leaked To Warez Sites
Ars Technica's Opposable Thumbs blog is reporting that an apparently 'AO' rated version of Rockstar's Manhunt 2 has made its way to warez sites across the internet. "There have been a few videos posted on YouTube that seem to come from this version of the game, which the release notes warn may be a beta version, 'so no crying if it ***** up on you.' That inspires confidence. While this scene-release is being talked about in multiple places, fansite Project Manhunt has a warning: '...remember downloading this game is only going to slimming [sic] the already slim chance of Manhunt 3 ever happening,' they tell fans."
Yes - usually FTP to IRC and BitTorrent/P2P sites, although I think IRC typically gets it first since the top channels have the distribution networks in place through their own dumps - FTP of group to FTP of chan to Voiced servers in the chan itself. BitTorrent sites probably have their own networks, but I'm not as familiar with them.
Are you kidding me? Vista was the easiest to crack out of all the OSs MS has made with copyprotection activations schemes. You run one program that installs and OEM bios emulator, and add the cert and key that match the OEM. That's it, no activation required. Vista gets "pre-authenticated" just like the Dells and other OEM boxes you'd buy.
