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.

    Too many posts to check, but did it occur to anyone that the dude that wrote the crack with Myth might actually be an EMPLOYEE of Rockstar now, and fully endorsing the use of his own code?

    Just a wild-ass guess...but in this day and age, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
