Once again we see how DRM only punishes paying customers
Not too surprising, I imagine removing the PSN login was real close to just cracking the game entirely. Honestly not sure why people would buy the game and then use a third party tool to bypass the PSN requirement as opposed to just pirating the game to begin with.
Back in the day I would use NO CD cracks for games I legit owned because I just didn't want to have to change discs all the time when switching games.
DRM tends to negatively affect paying customers more than pirates, so I could easily see legitimate owners still using cracks to remove DRM that is causing them issues in their legally obtained game.
When I bought Fallouts 1, 2 and Tactics from EB like 15 years ago I couldn't run them even with the disc in the drive. The shitty securom was broken and refused to recognise the disc. It was only thanks to pirates that I was able to crack them and play the copies I fucking paid money for.
DRM is cancer.
I made .iso files and mounted them in virtual drives to do the same thing. I could have used cracks but I didn't want a virus and I still had the delusion that doing things "fairly" actually meant anything.
Some DRMs can detect ISOs, so this didn't always work.
Back in the days of windows xp and Alcohol 120% it didn’t. I remember having like 12 virtual disk drives each with an independent iso just to avoid swapping disks.
The mod who bypass' the PSN login for God of War Ragnarök got removed on Nexus Mods
That poor mod - they generously offer to go to peoples' houses to bypass the PSN login and then get removed from the website! That's some gratitude!
that
Better?
Yes, and "bypasses."
So much for the guy making his vow to always maintain it.
