Berbatov9 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Sad news for all of us, Piracy and "warez" forums already have the game, since it was sold early in some shops in France and the Netherlands. Good new is, however, is that the game is not cracked yet, will take some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl87 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I think it's being sold but no one can play it until the 14th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Doesn't it have to be released and playable before a crack can be made Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berbatov9 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Not really, pirates can in a way or another get the game to work before the 14th, really sophisticated authentication methods were cracked eventually before the release of the game, like Bioshock and others...

Madek Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Maybe SI will release it early again this year because it's already being sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Future\'s_Maroon Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Isnt this the whole point of having to activate/authenticate it.....these pirate/crack versions will still not work? Anyone who does try the pirate versions - I hope they get PC destroying bugs/viruses!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because the scene groups circumvent the drm. Yet again its only legitimate buyers who have to deal with DRM, while pirates are playing it a full 6 days before release.

GillsMan Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'm struggling to see the point of this thread. It's against forum rules to discuss warez and cracks. I think there's been too much discussion of cracks and pirated versions of FM recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it make you sleep well at night knowing that you're doing the right thing though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berbatov9 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 treble_yell_:-) It's sad, but if authentication is removed the game will be pirated to hell and back, remember that novice users generally do not know how to download a game from the internet, let alone applying a crack, so the DRM does help.

Downloading a game and crack is as easy as copying a DRM less CD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 In future, if you want to report piracy issues, email piracy[at]sigames.com. Discussion about piracy issues isn't really something we want on the public forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
