Rockstar Ships Max Payne 2 Cracked By Pirates

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-getting-steamy-in-here dept.

Jamie noticed a fairly amazing little story about Rockstar shipping a version of Max Payne 2 via Steam that was actually cracked by pirates to remove the DRM. The going theory was that it was easier for them to simply use the pirate group's crack than to actually remove their DRM themselves.

    So Rockstar needed crackers help to release an old game

    They used poor uneducated whites to remove the DRM? Is their rate also .25/hour?
