So the answer is piracy. It’s the one circulation of digital copies where corporate decisions have little no influence on the accessibility or activation of those cracked games.
Or GOG. Seriously, if people rather pirate than support GOG, we’ll lose it. Over half of my games are from GOG and nowadays I don’t buy new games from elsewhere. I’ve also written a tool to download all your game installers. If you’ve got the money, support GOG.
