UbiSoft has long been against No-CD patches. Referring to them on their forums would get you warned or banned. But now, they have just officially released a patch for Rainbow 6: Vegas 2, which, when opened in a hex editor, can easily be identified as coming from the RELOADED scene group, not from UbiSoft programmers. A picture of hex analysis is shown in the story. See? Piracy isn't that bad! It saves you from having to code fixes for your own games! (Watch the drama on the Ubi Forums before it gets scrubbed clean.

Bunch of fags. That's really low.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

All code is stolen at least at the machine level.  I knew I should have copyrighted all 64 bit combinations of 0 and 1. 

[Sarafan]

Wow, that is low, real low.

[BloodEagle]

Now we just have to sit back and wait for computer piracy to be legalized. 

[Al Tarket]

well why don't they recruit some of these reloaded characters to do their work for them while they are at it . i that would make for an entertaining session at court especially since Ubi have breached their own rules!.

[BloodEagle]

If you read far enough into the comments on that Slashdot article, they start talking about Allied propaganda during World War I.

So was that comment. You're banned until tomorrow.

I hope you're not serious kara... other members around here have done far worse and gotten away with it.

If an0n had said that, nobody would have batted an eye. Explain your reasoning, please.

[Nuke]

amins dont need reasons.

anon is much more well liked, but a newb like cole,  can the fish!

anyway let me get this straight. its not ok for you to buy a game and remove the cd protection (ive virtualized everything i possibly could), but it is ok for a came company to pirate a hack to fix their own problems. lovely. as my grandpappy used to say, he who makes the gold makes the rule.

I'd have banned him too actually.

My reasoning is that first it's homophobic and second that kind of crap has actually driven people away from HLP in the past. I don't want to lose members because someone can't keep his bigoted hands to himself. Quite frankly I don't know why anyone on this board tolerates that kind of behaviour either.

Would you ask for an explanation if he'd called Ubisoft a bunch of niggers for doing this?

[NGTM-1R]

This must be some alternate universe.

He's more like silly string. It's amusing, but you hate getting it on you.


Kara: Yes, but I'm cynical on that particular word considering the double standard on who may use it.

the other day i saw a bunch of kids at the bus stop after work. every single one of them would have been mistaken for queer 20 years ago. they were saying this is gay and that's gay, i was thinking take a look in the damn mirror. kids theese days are the most gender confused pack of individuals ive ever seen. something is wrong with our society.

[Admiral_Stones]

Right you are. IMO conservative and right partys belong to the past. Globalization will do the job and eventually gay-hateism and rascism will be rotted out. Sigh, and we Swiss people STILL have to deal with our SVP, that paranoid bunch of fags (no, bad Admiral!) foreigner-hating assholes.

[Daeron]

All things considered, like Ubisoft is going to care. They hardly need to worry about someone showing up and accusing them of stealing his illegal crack. And it hardly costs them a thing.

[Angelus]

The behavior of UBI could cause some more problems.

People who haven't used yet cracks for their games could think now 'hey, why not UBI did it too...and while i'm at it, why not DL the entire game for free...', which means the companys will have more drop in sales.
This leads to 'better' copy protection for games, which leads to more problems for gamers.

SW: Battlefront 2 wont run if you have a software installed like Nero, and there are more games like that.

[Al Tarket]

angelus: Their are always ways around any shielded area as such. Reloaded are well known in the underworld downloads for creating great cracks for games or just in general torrent creation, if there was such a thing as an "impervious" shield then torrent sites and such would be put out of business.

For example, Bioshock had an install then register through the net every time to play the game, now they found a way around such a problem via a crack, registry key and so on.

[colecampbell666]

Whoah... Sorry. Didn't think that comment would stir anything up, and it wasn't meant in a homophobic light.

[karajorma]

I knew that ban didn't take but the control panel kept insisting it had.

Oh well. Consider it a warning then.
