Ubisoft Steals 'No-CD Crack' To Fix Rainbow 6: Vegas 2

Ariastis writes "UbiSoft has long been against No-CD patches. Referring to them on their forums would get you warned or banned. But now, they have just officially released a patch for Rainbow 6: Vegas 2, which, when opened in a hex editor, can easily be identified as coming from the RELOADED scene group, not from UbiSoft programmers. A picture of hex analysis is shown in the story. See? Piracy isn't that bad! It saves you from having to code fixes for your own games! (Watch the drama on the Ubi Forums before it gets scrubbed clean.)"

Re:How could they?

Pirates who complain about people stealing their work are also hypocrites.

Have you stopped to think that the guys who make the NO-CD crack do not give a shit about the game they are cracking? And that, if you had by any chance downloaded any of those cracks (not that you had, because we all know Cheesey is a god muthafucka lamb of God), you would have known that some of them even state clearly in the .NFO file that IF YOU LIKE THE GOD DAMN GAME THEN GO TO BUY IT.

Now, in your beautiful USA country it may be a crime to reverse engineer software for any purpose. But there are plenty of other countries (yes! there are other countries besides your loved America) where this is not the case.

As such, anyone can reverse engineer the software, publish said programs, subject to THEIR copyright without infringing ANY law.

Shit, stupid people make my so mad...
but you really deserved this flamebait.

I hate that kind of person :

check this one out :

Ubisoft should possibly have coded the exe file them selves, but I guess theres a good reason why they did not (as in no coders available at the time)

there are ALWAYS idiots like this who rationalize and stomachs even the shittiest, dirtiest stuff - a company which was banning people for even referring to no cd cracks, STEALS (i stressed it out, its a direcet STEAL, since no credit was given) a CRACK/HACK group's code, and then passes it as their fix. see the hypocrisy, see the filthiness and shittiness. yet this guy is able to justify it within his poor mind with just a sentence.

these morons constitute the biggest voter base for corrupt politicians. thanks to their idiocy of accepting anything and smoothing it up in their minds to stomach it, we are not living in a better world.
